Unpaid Debt

We refer any unpaid debts to Department of Treasury within 120 days of delinquency. This includes unpaid orders, interest bills, and civil penalties.

The Debt Collection Rule established procedures governing collection of delinquent payments. These include royalties, rentals, bonuses, and other amounts due to ONRR. The regulations clarify and implement the provisions of the Debt Collection Act of 1982 (DCA) and the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA). They also include provisions for administrative offset.
