DOE has adopted these regulations in their entirety.
- (b) As described in [§ 1015.201(e)](/cfr/10/1015.201.md?p=e) of this part, under the DCIA ([31 U.S.C. 3711(g)](/usc/31/3711.md?p=g)), DOE is required to transfer all debts over 180 days delinquent to Treasury for purposes of debt collection (i.e., cross-servicing). As part of its regular debt collection procedures, Treasury may use administrative wage garnishment on behalf of DOE.
