SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An agency that has acquired property or

    The Secretary of the Treasury has the authority to specify the rate 
by which the interest shall be computed for interest payments under

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 4\7/8\ per 
centum per annum.
