Office of the Secretary of Transportation 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This proposed rule would implement the authority established under the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA) for DOT to collect the Department's past due indebtedness through administrative wage garnishment. The proposed rule would adopt, without change, the hearing procedures issued by the Department of the Treasury implementing administrative wage garnishment under the DCIA. This proposed rule would apply only to individuals who are not Federal employees. The proposed rule also would amend regulations on procedures for the collection of claims to conform DOT regulations to applicable provisions of the DCIA.
