receipt of reports in paragraph (b) of this section, make upward or
downward adjustments to the allowable costs.

Sec. 80.52  Collection of amounts due.

    (a) Any funds paid to a grantee in excess of the amount to which the
grantee is finally determined to be entitled under the terms of the
award constitute a debt to the Federal Government. If not paid within a
reasonable period after demand, the Federal agency may reduce the debt
by:
    (1) Making an adminstrative offset against other requests for
reimbursements,
    (2) Withholding advance payments otherwise due to the grantee, or
    (3) Other action permitted by law.
    (b) Except where otherwise provided by statutes or regulations, the
Federal agency will charge interest on an overdue debt in accordance
with the Federal Claims Collection Standards (4 CFR Ch. II). The date
from which interest is computed is not extended by litigation or the
filing of any form of appeal.
