    10. Abstract:
    The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 requires that agencies 
collect taxpayer identification numbers (TINs) from individuals who do 
business with the Government, including contractors and recipients of 
credit, licenses, permits, and benefits. The TIN will be used to 
process all electronic payments (refunds) made to licensees by 
electronic funds transfer by the Department of the Treasury. The 
Department of the Treasury will use the TIN to determine whether the 
refund can be used to administratively offset any delinquent debts 
reported to the Treasury by other government agencies. In addition, the 
TIN will be used to collect and report to the Department of the 
Treasury any delinquent indebtedness arising out of the licensee's or 
applicant's relationship with the NRC.
