SUMMARY: The Secretary of the Treasury

used in assessing interest charges for 

outstanding debts owed to the 

Government (The Debt Collection Act of 

1982, as amended (codified at 31 U.S.C. 

Section 3717)). This rate is also used by 

agencies as a comparison point in 

evaluating the cost-effectiveness of a 

cash discount. In addition, this rate is 

used in determining when agencies 

should pay purchase card invoices 

when the card issuer offers a rebate (5 

CFR 1315.8). Notice is hereby given that 

the applicable rate for calendar year 

2016 is 1.00 percent. 

DATES: January 1, 2016 through

202–874–9428). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The rate 

reflects the current value of funds to the 

Treasury for use in connection with 

Federal Cash Management systems and 

is based on investment rates set for 

purposes of Public Law 95–147, 91 Stat. 

1227 (October 28, 1977). Computed each 

year by averaging Treasury Tax and 

Loan (TT&L) investment rates for the 12-

30, rounded to the nearest whole 

percentage, for applicability effective 

each January 1. Quarterly revisions are 

made if the annual average, on a moving

The rate for calendar year 2016 reflects 

the average investment rates for the 12- 

month period that ended September 30, 

2015.
