vehicle user to overload a tire without 

the explicit guidance provided by the 

required sidewall markings. 

Finally, SRUSA stated that NHTSA 

had previously granted similar noncompliances, yet, they cited no specific 

petitions to support this statement. In 

fact, NHTSA recently denied a petition 

where a manufacturer omitted the 

markings designating the maximum 

load and corresponding inflation 

pressure for that load, See 82 FR 41678. 

NHTSA’s Decision: In consideration 

of the foregoing, NHTSA finds that 

SRUSA has not met its burden of 

persuasion that the FMVSS No. 119 

noncompliance is inconsequential to 

motor vehicle safety. Accordingly, 

SRUSA’s petition is hereby denied and 

SRUSA is obligated to provide 

notification of, and a remedy for, that 

noncompliance under 49 U.S.C. 30118 

and 30120. 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120: 

delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An agency 

that has acquired property or service 

from a business concern and has failed 

to pay for the complete delivery of 

property or service by the required 

payment date shall pay the business 

concern an interest penalty. 31 U.S.C. 

3902(a). The Contract Disputes Act of 

1978, Sec. 12, Public Law 95–563, 92 

Stat. 2389, and the Prompt Payment Act, 

31 U.S.C. 3902(a), provide for the 

calculation of interest due on claims at 

the rate established by the Secretary of 

the Treasury. 

The Secretary of the Treasury has the 

authority to specify the rate by which 

the interest shall be computed for 

interest payments under section 12 of 

the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 and 

under the Prompt Payment Act. Under 

the Prompt Payment Act, if an interest 

penalty is owed to a business concern, 

the penalty shall be paid regardless of 

whether the business concern requested 

payment of such penalty. 31 U.S.C. 

3902(c)(1). Agencies must pay the 

interest penalty calculated with the 

interest rate, which is in effect at the 

time the agency accrues the obligation 

to pay a late payment interest penalty. 

31 U.S.C. 3902(a). ‘‘The interest penalty 

shall be paid for the period beginning 

on the day after the required payment 

date and ending on the date on which 

payment is made.’’ 31 U.S.C. 3902(b). 

Therefore, notice is given that the 

Secretary of the Treasury has 

determined that the rate of interest 

applicable for the period beginning 

January 1, 2018, and ending on June 30, 

2018, is 25⁄8 per centum per annum.
