Collection of Claims Owed the United States Arising From Activities Under the Commission's Jurisdiction
Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission) proposes to revise its regulations governing the collection of claims owed to the United States arising from activities under the Commission's jurisdiction. The proposed revision implements the administrative wage garnishment provisions of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA). The DCIA authorizes Federal agencies to collect money from a debtor's disposable income by means of administrative wage garnishment. Prior to enactment of the DCIA, a court order was required for an agency to garnish a debtor's wages. In accordance with the requirements of the DCIA, the procedures being proposed by the Commission to garnish wages administratively are based upon, and consistent with, implementing regulations issued by the Department of the Treasury.
