Compound Interest On CAS
Client Alert | 1 min read | 08.31.07
In Raytheon Co. (Aug. 22, 2007), the ASBCA held that segment closing adjustments under CAS 413 should be treated as "CAS noncompliances," making interest due on the adjustment from the date of the segment closing, and that the interest calculation is to be compounded daily because the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) requires that the IRS interest rate applicable by cross-reference from the CAS statute be compounded daily. It does not appear that the contractor argued -- and the Board therefore did not address -- that the CAS statute incorporates into CAS only the section of the IRC containing the interest rate, 28 U.S.C. 6621, not the section of the IRC requiring compounding daily, 28 U.S.C. 6622, or that the interest rate due for contracts awarded before the cross-reference to the IRC was added to the CAS statute should be subject to the prior rates that applied to those contracts.

Federal Court Blocks Trump Administration Policies Restricting Wind and Solar Permitting
A coalition of regional clean energy trade associations — including RENEW Northeast, Alliance for Clean Energy New York, Southern Renewable Energy Association, and Interwest Energy Alliance — along with the Green Energy Consumers Alliance (GECA), filed suit in December 2025 against the Department of the Interior (DOI), the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Army Corps of Engineers. The complaint alleged that five agency actions, issued in response to a series of executive orders and presidential memoranda beginning on January 20, 2025, violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) by arbitrarily halting or restricting federal permitting for wind and solar energy projects. Plaintiffs sought a preliminary injunction to halt enforcement of these policies while the litigation proceeds. See Renew Northeast, et al. v. U.S. Dep’t of Interior, et al., No. 25-cv-13961-DJC, (D. Mass. Apr. 21, 2026) ECF Dkt. 89.
