rate paid on applicable overpayments or underpayments of customs duties

of 1998, Public Law 105-206, 112 Stat. 685) to provide different 
interest rates applicable to overpayments: one for corporations and one 
for non-corporations.
    The interest rates are based on the Federal short-term rate and 
determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on behalf of the 
Secretary of the Treasury on a quarterly basis. The rates effective for 
a quarter are determined during the first-month period of the previous
