# §1.110. Application of Government-wide administrative claims collections standards and adoption of administrative offset regulations.

- (a) The Commission shall apply the Federal Claims Collection Standards (FCCS), [31 CFR parts 900-904](/cfr/31/part900-904.md), in the administrative collection, offset, compromise, suspension, termination, and referral of collection activity for civil claims for money, funds, or property, as defined by [31 U.S.C. 3701(b)](/usc/31/3701.md?p=b), unless specific Federal agency statutes or regulations apply to such activities or, as provided for by [Title 11](/cfr/11.md) of the United States Code, when the claims involve bankruptcy. The Commission shall also follow Department of Treasury regulations set forth at [31 CFR part 285](/cfr/31/part285.md), as applicable, for administrative debt collection, including centralized offset of federal payments to collect non-tax debts that may be owed to the Commission, [31 CFR 285.5](/cfr/31/285.5.md). Nothing in this subpart shall be construed to supersede or require the Commission to provide additional notice or other procedures that may have already been provided or afforded to a debtor in the course of administrative or judicial litigation or otherwise.
- (b) For purposes of [31 U.S.C. 3716(b)(1)](/usc/31/3716.md?p=b-1), the Commission adopts without change the regulations on collection by administrative offset set forth at [31 CFR 901.3](/cfr/31/901.3.md) and other relevant sections of the FCCS applicable to such offset.
