The Postal Service is concurrently revising its regulations [FR Doc. 2012–26090 Filed 10–24–12; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6351–01–P DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Forest Service 36 CFR Part 230 RIN 0596–AC84 Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program; Approval of Information Collection Request AGENCY: ACTION: erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 13:15 Oct 24, 2012 Jkt 229001 SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 65103 pertaining to collecting debts from former employees contained in the Postal Service Employment and Labor Relations Manual (ELM). These ELM revisions conform existing Postal Service regulations to the requirements of the Debt Collection Act. The revisions in this document will bring 39 CFR part 966 into accord with the Postal Service’s revised regulations for collecting debts from former employees by administrative offset. In addition, minor changes will be made to eliminate outdated provisions and conform these rules to the existing practice of the Judicial Officer. The Postal Service published these proposed changes to 39 CFR part 966 on September 4, 2012 (77 FR 53830–34). No comments were received. The final version of the rule is, accordingly unmodified, with the exception of minor changes to § 966.9, intended to be clarifying only. B. Summary of Changes Changes to § 966.2(a) cross reference the Postal Service’s new ELM provisions pertaining to administrative offsets and also clarify that such offsets are taken pursuant to the statutory authority of 31 U.S.C. 3716. Changes to § 966.2(b) clarify that the regulations contained in 39 CFR part 966 are intended to be consistent with the Federal Claims Collection Standards promulgated jointly by the Department of Justice and the Treasury, found at 31 CFR parts 900–904. Changes to § 966.3 update the definitions of part 966 to refer to the Postal Service Accounting Service Center (ASC) or successor installation instead of the area Postmaster/ Installation head. The definition of ‘‘reconsideration’’ in paragraph (i) is thus revised to refer to action taken by the ASC. These changes accurately reflect the Postal Service’s current practices for collecting debts from former employees, as collections from former employees are normally handled through the ASC. Definitions are also updated to include the Federal Claims Collection Standards, referenced elsewhere in the revised regulations. Changes to paragraph (j) are nonsubstantive and provide the parties with useful contact information. Changes to § 966.4 revise the procedures for filing a petition for a hearing under part 966. These revisions align these regulations with the Postal Service’s revised ELM regulations pertaining to collecting debts from former employees by administrative offset, the Postal Service’s current debt collection procedures, and current practice before the Judicial Officer.
