SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An agency
acquiring property or services from a
business concern, but failing to pay for
each completed delivered item of
property or service by the required
payment date, must pay the business
concern an interest penalty, commonly
known as the Prompt Payment Interest
Penalty. 31 U.S.C. 3902(a). The
applicable interest rate for determining
this penalty is the rate established by
the Secretary of the Treasury under § 12
of the Contract Disputes Act (codified at
41 U.S.C. 611) and in effect at the time
the agency accrues the obligation to pay
this late payment interest penalty. 31
U.S.C. 3902(a). Agencies must pay the
interest penalty calculated with the
Prompt Payment Interest Rate, ‘‘for the
period beginning on the date after the
required payment date and ending on
the date on which the payment is
made.’’ 31 U.S.C. 3902(b). If an interest
penalty is owed to a business concern
because of a late payment, the penalty
must be paid regardless of whether the
business concern requested payment of
the penalty.
An agency also must pay interest on
claims found due to contractors that are
submitted to procuring agencies for
payment, payable for the time period
between when the contracting officer
receives the claim and when the
procuring agency pays the claim.
Contract Disputes Act § 12; 41 U.S.C.
611.
The Secretary is required to establish
an interest rate for both of these
purposes. 31 U.S.C. 3902(a); 41 U.S.C.
611. Therefore, notice is given that the
Secretary of the Treasury has
determined that the rate of interest for
purposes of both Prompt Payment and
the Contract Disputes Act, applicable for
the period beginning July 1, 2007, and
