        <RULE_TITLE>Collection of Overdue Program and Administrative Debts Using Administrative Wage Garnishment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would adopt the notification and hearing procedures established by the Department of Treasury for administrative wage garnishments.  As required by the Debts Collections Improvement Act, the Department refers eligible past due debts to the Financial Management Service (FMS), within Department of the Treasury, for collection.  FMS acts as a facilitator between the Department and the debtor.  This rulemaking would establish notification procedures for the debtor and those procedures by which the Department would conduct hearings, when one is requested by the debtor.]]></ABSTRACT>
