the Debt Collection Act of 1982 (PL 97-365) and the 1983 amendments (PL

1966 (31 USC 3711, 3716 to 3718) to authorize, among other things, 
charging of interest penalties and administrative costs, and the use of 
administrative offset, private collection agencies, and credit agencies 
by the Government. The amendments also implement Governmentwide 
regulations issued by the Department of Justice and the General 
Accounting Office (49 FR 8889) and Office of Personnel Management (49 
FR 27470).
