NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION

36 CFR Part 1201

RIN 3095-AA77


Debt Collection

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is 
adopting as final regulations governing the collection of debts owed to 
it and other Federal agencies. Federal agencies are required to try to 
collect debts owed to the Federal Government. These regulations 
describe actions that NARA may take to collect debts, and apply, with 
certain exceptions, to any person or entity. These regulations also 
provide that NARA may enter into a cross-servicing agreement with the 
U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) under which the Treasury 
will take authorized action to collect amounts owed to NARA.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on August 5, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kim Richardson at telephone number 
301-713-2902 or fax number 301-713-0319.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The interim rule was published in the July 
5, 2002, Federal Register (67 FR 44757) for a 60-day comment period. 
NARA did not receive any comments. Therefore, NARA is adopting the 
interim rule as final without change. This rule is not a significant 
regulatory action for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 and has not 
been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. As required by 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act, I certify that this rule will not have 
a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. This 
regulation does not have any federalism implications. This rule is not 
a major rule.
