Pursuant to the Debt Collection Act of 1982 (Public Law 97-365) and regulations of the U.S. Department of Labor

(29 CFR Part 20), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is required to assess interest, delinquent

charges. and administrative costs for the collection of delinquent penalty debts for violations of the Occupational

Safety and Health Act.

Interest. Interest charges will be assessed at an annual rate determined by the Secretary of the Treasury on all

penalty debt amounts not paid within one month (30 calendar days) of the date on which the Jebt amount becomes

due and payable (penalty due date). The current interest rate is 4%. Interest will accrue from the date on which

the penalty amounts (as propos~d or adjusted) become a final order of the Occupational Safety and Health Review

Commission (that is. 15 working days from your receipt of the Citation and Notification of Penalty). unless you

file a notice of contest. Interest charges will be waived if the full amount owed is paid witllin 30 calendar days

of the final order.

Delinquent Charges. A d~bt is considered d~linquellt if it has not been paid within one month (30 calendar days)

of the penalty due date or if a satisfactory payment arrangement has not been made. If the debt remains delinquent

for more than 90 calendar days. a delinquent charge of si:x percent (6~:Z) per annum will be assessed accruing from

the date rhat rhe debt became delinquent.

Administrative Costs. Agencies of the Department of Labor are required to assess additional charges for the

recovery of delinquent dehts. These additional charges are administrative costs incurred by the Agency in its

attempt to collect an unpaid debt. Administrative costs ".,ill be assessed for demand letters sent in an attempt to

collect the unpaid debt.
