ASBCA Clarifies SOL on Interest Claims Under the Prompt Payment Act
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 05.23.16
In Public Warehousing Co. (May 2, 2016), the Board held the CDA statute of limitations on a contractor’s claim for interest penalties under the Prompt Payment Act does not accrue until the government makes the underlying payment. Rejecting the government’s argument that the interest claim should accrue as soon as government fails to make the underlying payment, the Board held that, under the PPA, “the events that fix the government's alleged liability and allow a claim for interest penalties to be asserted do not occur until the government pays the underlying invoice without paying the interest penalty due.”

On July 6, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published an Interim Final Rule (IFR) setting up a new federal framework that allows state, local, Tribal, and territorial (SLTT) law enforcement and correctional agencies to detect, track, and, in some cases, disable or seize drones. The rule directly affects SLTT agencies looking to stand up counter-drone programs, as well as drone and counter-drone technology companies whose products will be subject to federal review and approval. Although the IFR bypassed the Administrative Procedure Act’s standard notice-and-comment process on good cause grounds — citing the statutory 180-day deadline and urgent public safety needs — the rule is already legally binding and effective as of July 1, 2026. The Departments are nonetheless accepting post-promulgation comments through September 4, 2026.
