The Debt Collection Improvement Act of
1996 requires that agencies collect taxpayer identification numbers
(TINs) from individuals who do business with the Government,
including contractors and recipients of credits, licenses, permits,
and benefits. TINs will be used to process all electronic payments
(refunds) made to licensees by electronic funds transfer by the
Department of the Treasury. The Department of the Treasury will use
the TIN to determine whether the refund can be used to
administratively offset any delinquent debts reported to the
Treasury by other government agencies. In addition, the TIN will be
used to collect and report to the Department of the Treasury any
delinquent indebtedness arising out of the licensee's or
applicant's relationship with the NRC.
