(a) This regulation does not supersede or require omission or duplication of administrative proceedings required by contract, statute, regulation or other Agency procedures, e.g., resolution of audit findings under grants or contracts, informal grant appeals, formal appeals, or review under a procurement contract.
(b) The remedies and sanctions available to the Agency under this regulation for collecting debts are not intended to be exclusive.
