§ 1.1941   Exemptions.

   (a) The preceding sections of this part, to the extent they reflect remedies
   or procedures prescribed by the Debt Collection Act of 1982 and the Debt
   Collection Improvement Act of 1996, such as administrative offset, use of
   credit  bureaus, contracting for collection agencies, and interest and
   related charges, do not apply to debts arising under, or payments made
   under, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (26 U.S.C. 1 et seq.);
   the  Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), except to the extent
   provided under 42 U.S.C. 404 and 31 U.S.C. 3716(c); or the tariff laws of
   the United States. These remedies and procedures, however, may be authorized
   with respect to debts that are exempt from the Debt Collection Act of 1982
   and the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, to the extent that they are
   authorized under some other statute or the common law.

   (b) This section should not be construed as prohibiting the use of these
   authorities or requirements when collecting debts owed by persons employed
   by agencies administering the laws cited in paragraph (a) of this section
   unless  the  debt  arose  under those laws. However, the Commission is
   authorized to assess interest and related charges on debts which are not
   subject to 31 U.S.C. 3717 to the extent authorized under the common law or
   other applicable statutory authority.
