Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 126 / Friday, June 29, 2012 / Notices
Strasburger & Price, LLP, 1700 K Street
NW., Suite 640, Washington, DC 20006.
Board decisions and notices are
available on our Web site at
www.stb.dot.gov.
It is ordered:
1. The delegation of authority to the
Director of the Office of Proceedings
under 49 CFR 1011.7(a)(2)(x)(A) to
determine whether to issue a notice of
exemption in this proceeding is
revoked.
2. This decision is effective on the
date of service.
Decided: June 26, 2012.
By the Board, Chairman Elliott, Vice
Chairman Mulvey, and Commissioner
Begeman. Vice Chairman Mulvey
approved with a separate expression.
Vice Chairman Mulvey, commenting:
Interchange commitments have the
potential to limit or, in some cases, to
effectively eliminate, competition
between rail carriers. Because this can
result in long-term harm to shippers, I
believe that the Board should be
carefully scrutinizing transactions that
include interchange commitments.
Typically, such scrutiny is not possible
within the Notice of Exemption process
due to its short time-frames. I have long
urged the Board to require that such
transactions be analyzed using more
detailed processes that allow the Board
to consider (1) the nature of the
interchange commitment, (2) how many
shippers and carloads will be impacted
by the interchange commitment, and (3)
what competitive routing options are
being foreclosed during the term of the
lease.
In this case, however, there appears to
be no need for concern regarding
competitive harm. Toledo has
confirmed that it will not connect
physically to any carrier other than
NSR, the carrier from whom it is leasing
the line. Although the lease contains a
rental credit based on the number of
cars Toledo interchanges with NSR,
because Toledo physically cannot
interchange cars with a third-party
carrier in any event, there will be no
adverse competitive impact from the
interchange commitment. Accordingly, I
vote to approve the Notice of Exemption
process for this transaction.
Derrick A. Gardner,
Clearance Clerk.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
An agency
that has acquired property or service
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, Sec. 12, Public Law 95–563, 92
Stat. 2389, and the Prompt Payment Act,

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. 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 such penalty. 31 U.S.C.
3902(c)(1). 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.
31 U.S.C. 3902(a). ‘‘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
payment is made.’’ 31 U.S.C. 3902(b).
Therefore, notice is given that the
Secretary of the Treasury has
determined that the rate of interest
applicable for the period beginning July
1, 2012, and ending on December 31,
2012, is 13⁄4 per centum per annum.
