What the agency says
The Department of the Treasury ("Treasury"), Bureau of the Fiscal Service ("Fiscal Service"), proposes to revise its existing regulations regarding the Treasury Offset Program ("TOP") for several reasons, including to: restore statutory flexibility that was unnecessarily restricted; implement new authorities; eliminate repetitive and unnecessary language; reword certain provisions for clarity, consistent with the requirements of the Plain Writing Act of 2010 and Executive Order 12866; and better organize the regulations for easier comprehension.
