Sec. 701.50  Effect of the Debt Collection Act of 1982.

    The Debt Collection Act of 1982 (Pub. L. 97-365) provides for a 
minimum annual rate of interest to be charged on overdue debts owed the 
Federal Government. DON activities may levy this interest penalty for 
any fees that remain outstanding 30 calendar days from the date of 
billing (the first demand notice) to the requester of the amount owed. 
The interest rate shall be as prescribed in 31 U.S.C. 3717. DON 
activities should verify the current interest rate with respective 
finance and accounting offices. After one demand letter has been sent 
and 30 calendar days have lapsed with no payment, DON activities may 
submit the debt to respective finance and accounting offices for 
collection.
