§ 22.11 - Coordinating offset with another Federal agency.

(a) When Commerce is owed the debt. When the Department is owed a debt by an employee of another agency, the Department will submit a written request to the paying agency to begin salary offset.

(c) Requests by another Federal Department or agency for Department cooperation in offsetting the salary of one of its employees must be directed to the Director for Personnel and Civil Rights, Room 5001, U.S. Department of Commerce, Herbert C.
