Government agencies are required by Public Law 97-177 to
pay interest penalty payments to vendors for all bills not
paid by a specified due date. The purpose of this study was
to investigate the implementation procedures developed by the
U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, and U.S. Navy to comply with Public
Law 97-177. The investigation was intended to develop alternative
procedures for use in the U.S. Navy that would minimize
the impact on operating funds of the Navy. This was accomplished
through literature and document research and on site visits
to Navy bill paying agencies. The conclusion is that
improvements can be made in the Navy's current procedures.
Recommendations for changes in the current system include
holding claimants and/or subclaimants responsible for subordinate
command performance through negotiation of goals and for
maturing the current system into one of permanency which will
provide incentives for adherence to the goal of timely payment
of bills.
