17 CFR §204.54

1. (a)Consideration of evidence. If, as a result of the Notice of Intent, the Commission receives notice that the debtor will submit additional evidence or receives additional evidence from the debtor within the prescribed time period, tax refund offset will be stayed until the Commission can:
   1. (1)Consider the evidence presented by the debtor; and
   2. (2)Determine whether or not all or a portion of the debt is still past due and legally enforceable; and
   3. (3)Notify the debtor of its determination.
2. (b)Commission action on the debt.
   1. (1)The Commission will notify the debtor of its intent to refer the debt to the IRS for offset against the debtor's Federal income tax refund if it sustains its decision that the debt is past-due and legally enforceable. The Commission will also notify the debtor whether the amount of the debt remains the same or is modified; and
   2. (2)The Commission will not refer the debt to the IRS for offset against the debtor's Federal income tax refund if it reverses its decision that the debt is past due and legally enforceable.
