SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1505 and Treasury Decision 85-93, published
in the Federal Register on May 29, 1985 (50 FR 21832), the interest rate
paid on applicable overpayments or underpayments of Customs duties
shall be in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code rate established
under 26 U.S.C. 6621. Interest rates are determined based on the short-
term Federal rate. The interest rate that Treasury pays on overpay-
ments will be the short-term Federal rate plus two percentage points.
The interest rate paid to the Treasury for underpayments will be the
short-term Federal rate plus three percentage points. The rates will be
rounded to the nearest full percentage.
The interest rates are determined by the Internal Revenue Service on
behalf of the Secretary of the Treasury based on the average market
yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the U.S. with remaining
periods to maturity of 3 years or less and are to fluctuate quarterly. The
rates are determined during the first month of a calendar quarter and
become effective for the following quarter.
The rates of interest for the period of January 1, 1992—March 31,
1992, are 8 percent for overpayments and 9 percent for underpayments.
