SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An agency 

that has acquired property or services 

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, Section 12, Public Law 95–563, 92 

Stat. 2389, and the Prompt Payment Act 

of 1982, 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. 

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. Id. ‘‘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 the payment is 

made.’’ 31 U.S.C. 3902(b). 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 interest. 

Therefore, notice is given that the 

Secretary of the Treasury has 

determined that the rate of interest 

applicable for the period beginning July 

1, 2009, and ending on December 31, 

2009, is 47⁄8 per centum per annum.
