FECA CIRCULAR NO. 07-02

August 1, 2007


SUBJECT: Current Interest Rates for Prompt Payment Bills and Debt Collection

The interest rate to be assessed for the prompt payment bills is 5.25 percent for the period of January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007. This new rate has already been updated in the Central Bill Payment tables.

The rate for assessing interest charges on debts due the U.S. Government changed in June 2006, despite the increase in January 2006. The interest rate for assessing interest charges on debts due the U.S. Government is now 4.0 percent for the period of July 1, 2006 through December 31, 2007. The interest rate tables in the iFECS Debt System have been updated to reflect these changes.

Ordinarily, the rate of interest charged on debts due the U.S. Government is only changed in January, and is effective for the entire year. However, the rate may be changed in July if there is a difference in the Current Value of Funds (CVF) interest rate of more than two percent. The rates are reviewed each June, and if the rate has changed another Circular will be published to advise all appropriate personnel of the new rate.

Attached to this Circular is an updated listing of both the Prompt Payment and Debt Management interest rates from January 1, 1985 through the current date.
