# §11.12. Suspending or terminating collection activity.


DHS will suspend or terminate collection activity, or discharge indebtedness, in accordance with [31 CFR part 903](/cfr/31/part903.md). The Chief Financial Officer is delegated authority to suspend or terminate collection activity, or to discharge indebtedness regarding debts owed to DHS, but for any such action involving a debt over $10,000, the Chief Financial Officer must obtain the concurrence of the Office of the General Counsel. The Chief Financial Officer is authorized to act on behalf of the Secretary in selling a debt, and in determining whether or not it is in the best interests of the United States to do so.
