Although the Renegotiation Board is

no longer in existence, other Federal

97–177) provide for the calculation of

interest due on claims at a rate

established by the Secretary of the

Treasury pursuant to Public Law 92–41

(85 Stat. 97) for the Renegotiation Board

(31 U.S.C. 3902).

Therefore, notice is hereby given that,

pursuant to the above mentioned

sections, the Secretary of the Treasury

has determined that the rate of interest

applicable for the purpose of said

sections, for the period beginning

January 1, 1997 and ending on June 30,

1997, is 63⁄8 percentum per annum.

Dated: December 27, 1996.
