ADDRESSES: The Debt Collection Act of 1982, Public Law 97– 365, 96 Stat. 1749, as amended by Public Law 98–167, 97 Stat. 1104, and the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, Public Law 104–134, require that any payable monies or those that may become payable may be subject to administrative offset for the collection of a delinquent debt a person or legal entity owes to the United States. The Act covers monies from the United States under contracts and other written agreements to any person or legal entity. A legal entity is defined as an agency or SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate jul<14>2003 15:42 Jun 15, 2005 Jkt 205001 subdivision of a State or local government. Title: Debt Collection. OMB Number: 0505–0007. Expiration Date of Approval: September 30, 2005. Type of Request: Extension on currently approved information collection. Abstract: 31 U.S.C. 3716, which was enacted as part of the Debt Collection Act, authorizes the collection of debts by administrative offset. The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 expanded the application of administrative offset to every instance except where a statute explicitly prohibits the use of administrative offset for collection purposes. Protection is provided to debtors by requiring that an individual debtor be given notice of a debt. The notice provides information to delinquent debtors targeted for administrative offset who want additional information, or desire to either enter into repayment agreements or request a review of an agency’s determination to offset. Creditor agencies use the collected information to respond and/or to take appropriate action. If the relevant information is not collected, the creditor agencies cannot comply with the due process provision of the Debt Collection and Debt Collection Improvement Acts. Collection of information only affects delinquent debtors. Estimate of Burden: A public reporting and record-keeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average one hour per response. Respondents: Delinquent Debtors. Estimated Number of Respondents: 16,895. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 2. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 33,790 hours. All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for the Office of Management and Budget approval. All comments also will become a matter of public record. Patricia E. Healy, Acting Chief Financial Officer.

Number of Respondents: 140 respondents. Needs and Uses: This collection of information is required as the result of the amending of the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR parts 730–799) (EAR) by revising the (EAR) requirements for exports and reexports contained in Sections 1211– 1215 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 1998 (Pub. L. 105–85, 111 Stat. 1629), signed by the President on November 18, 1997. The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) needs the information in this collection to fulfill two requirements of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (NDAA). Those requirements are: (1) Proposed exports and reexports of high performance computers to specific countries must be reviewed by enumerated government agencies prior to the export and (2) that the government conduct a ‘‘post shipment verification’’ of each high performance computer exported to those countries after November 17, 1997. Both of these requirements are new and were imposed by the Congress with the passage of the NDAA. To simplify the latter, BIS has developed a new form that will incorporate the relevant data elements and replace the written report, thereby standardizing the data format for the applicant, and enabling the use of information technology in the processing of the data.
