Debt Collection; Clarification of Administrative Wage Garnishment Regulation and Reassignment of Hearing Official
Document Number: E8-25324
Type: Rule
Date: 2008-10-27
Agency: Small Business Administration, Agencies and Commissions
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is amending its Debt Collection regulations by clarifying terminology within the regulation and streamlining administrative wage garnishment hearing procedures. These modifications are few in number and result in revisions to the definition of terms and the process by which a debtor requests a hearing regarding administrative wage garnishment. SBA believes that this rule is routine and noncontroversial, and the Agency anticipates no significant adverse comment. If SBA receives a significant adverse comment, it will withdraw the rule.
