45 C.F.R. § 30.22 Compromise rule.
Title 45 - Public Welfare
The Secretary may attempt to dispose of debts, including accrued interest, charges and penalties, by compromise settlement whenever the Department's ability to collect the full amount is uncertain because of the debtor's financial status or the litigation risks or because enforced collection would not be cost-effective. When the outstanding principal amount of the debt before compromise exceeds $20,000 and the debtor has exhausted all Departmental administrative remedies, the debt may be compromised only with the approval of the Department of Justice.
