View Rule

NASA is amending its regulations at 14 CFR 1261 to make non-substantive changes in the amount to collect installment payments from $20,000 to $100,000 to align with title 31 subchapter II Claims of the United States Government section 3711 (a)(2) Collection and Compromise. Subpart 4 prescribes standards for the administrative collection compromise suspension or termination of collection and referral to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and/or to the Department of Justice for litigation of civil claims as defined by 31 U.S.C. 3701(b) arising out of the activities of designated NASA officials authorized to effect actions and requires compliance with GAO/DOJ joint regulations at 4 CFR parts 101-105 and the Office of Personnel Management regulations at 5 CFR part 550 subpart K. There are also some statute citation and terminology updates. The revisions to this rule are part of NASA's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011.
