The Director may request that a debt owed to the Bureau be administratively offset against funds due and payable to a debtor by another Federal agency. In requesting administrative offset, the Bureau, as the creditor agency, will provide written certification to the Federal agency holding funds payable to the debtor, stating:
(a) That the debtor owes the debt;
(b) The amount and basis of the debt; and
(c) That the Bureau has fully complied with the requirements of its own administrative offset regulations and the applicable provisions of 31 U.S.C. 3716.
