[Docket No. DNFSB-2023-01]

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

rule that was published in the Federal Register on July 11, 2023.
DATES: The effective date of October 10, 2023, for the direct final

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia A. Hargrave, Associate
General Counsel, Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, 625 Indiana
Avenue NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20004-2901, (202) 694-7000.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 30, 2021 (88 FR 44031), the DNFSB
published a direct final rule to implement the Debt Collection Act
(DCA), as amended, 31 U.S.C. 3701, et seq. The DCA governs the federal
government's debt collection activities. In accordance with this law,
the Treasury Department and the Department of Justice jointly
promulgated Federal Claims Collection Standards (FCCS), 31 CFR parts
900 through 904. Agencies may adopt the FCCS without change or may
prescribe agency regulations for collecting debts by administrative
offset that are consistent with the FCCS. 31 U.S.C. 3716. These
regulations are required before an agency may collect a debt by
administrative offset.
In the direct final rule, the DNFSB stated that, if no significant
adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become
effective on October 11, 2023. The DNFSB received one comment. The
DNFSB evaluated the comment against the criteria described in the
direct final rule and determined that the comment was not significant
and adverse. Specifically, the commentator stated that the rule would
be ``great'' due to ``the added measure of structure and accountability
that will result from this rule.'' The comment was positive and
supportive. The direct final rule will become effective as scheduled.
Dated: September 7, 2023.
Joyce Connery,
Chair.
