What the agency says
The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA) authorizes Federal agencies to publicly disseminate information regarding the identity of persons owing delinquent nontax debts to the United States for the purpose of collecting the debts. The Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service), proposes to promulgate this rule to establish the minimum procedures Federal agencies must follow prior to publicly disseminating information regarding the identity of delinquent debtors and the standards for determining when use of this debt collection tool is appropriate.
