## Abstract

The Debt Collection Act of 1982, as amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, requires Federal agencies prior to collecting a claim owed to the Government by administrative offset to either adopt Department of Justice, the General Accounting Office or the Department of Treasury administrative offset regulations without change or to prescribe their own regulations for collecting claims by administrative offset which are consistent with Department of Justice, the General Accounting Office or Department of Treasury regulations. This interim rule establishes Commission regulations for the collection of debts by administrative offset.
