SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An agency

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.

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,

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.

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 July 

1, 2023, and ending on December 31, 

2023, is 4–7/8 per centum per annum.
