## Abstract

This final rule amends the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) regulations to implement the provisions of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA), as implemented by the Department of Justice (Justice) and the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) as the Federal Claims Collection Standards (FCCS). This final rule implements the final rule promulgated by Justice and Treasury, and amends the process by which HHS can administratively collect, offset, compromise, suspend and terminate collection activity for civil claims for money, funds, or property, and the rules and process by which HHS can refer civil claims to Treasury, Treasury- designated debt collection centers, or Justice for collection by further administrative action or litigation, as applicable.
