6534.2 – Follow-Up Billings.
MT. HOOD NF PROCEDURE FOR FOLLOW-UP BILLINGS.
In adherence to Region 6 policy, the Forest will take prompt follow-up action for all delinquent
debts. (See R6 Supplement 6500-97-2; 6534.2 Follow-up Billings)
Monitoring and follow up billings issued under permits or collection agreements will be the
responsibility of the permit administrator or the project manager of the collection agreement.
For all other billings, such as quarters, accountable officer shortages or refunds of duplicate
payments, the districts will issue the initial billing for all debts that accrue within their
jurisdiction. Districts will then send the complete billing file to Financial Management in the
Headquarters’ Office. Financial Management will perform the monitoring of all billings and will
initiate follow-up action to seek resolution for indebtedness.
