ments, or accounts of contractually fixed interest, the ap-
plicable interest rate of the month of issuance shall apply. 
For debt instruments, investments, or accounts of variable 
interest rates and which have no reference interest rate, 
the applicable interest shall be the Federal short-term in-
terest rate for each month. For debt instruments, invest-
