# §89.35. Administrative wage garnishment.

- (a) **General.** The Secretary may use administrative wage garnishment for debts referred to cross-servicing at Financial Management Service, Department of Treasury. Regulations in [31 CFR 285.11](/cfr/31/285.11.md) govern the collection of debts owed to federal agencies through administrative wage garnishment. Whenever the Financial Management Service collects a debt for the Secretary using administrative wage garnishment, the statutory administrative requirements in [31 CFR 285.11](/cfr/31/285.11.md) will govern.
- (b) **Hearing official.** Any hearing required to establish the Secretary's right to collect a debt through administrative wage garnishment shall be conducted by a qualified individual selected at the discretion of the Secretary of Transportation, as specified in [31 CFR 285.11](/cfr/31/285.11.md). The qualified individual may include an Administrative Law Judge.
