Respondent has filed a "Motion for Reconsideration" of the March 30, 1993 Final Decision in this matter which dismissed Petitioner's complaint. The motion actually seeks a clarification of that portion of the Final Decision which refers to proceedings unde 39 C.F.R. § 966. Specifically, Respondent requests that the Final Decision be amended or supplemented to clarify the prerequisites see e.g. § § 966.3(h), 966.4(a), for invoking the procedures of 39 C.F.R. § 966.

The March 30, 1993 Final Decision clearly advises of the alternative administrative procedures available to an individual under one of the two district offset actions. Rules of Practice in proceedings under the Debt Collection Act are clearly set forth in 39 C.F.R. § 961. Rules of Practice in proceedings relative to administrative offsets are clearly set forth in 39 C.F.R. § 966. Modification or clarification is unnecessary. The Motion for Reconsideration is denied.

1/ Establishing an administrative procedure for offset actions against former employees is consistent with Office of Personnel Management regulations which prescribe procedures to be followed prior to offsetting debts owed by retirees from the Civil Service Retirement Fund. See 5 C.F.R. § 831.1801 - .1805.
