Applicable Rate of Interest on Nonqualified Withdrawals From a 
Capital Construction Fund

    Under the authority in Section 607(h)(4)(B) of the Merchant Marine 
Act, 1936, as amended (46 U.S.C. 1177(h)(4)(B)), we hereby determine 
and announce that the applicable rate of interest on the amount of 
additional tax attributable to any nonqualified withdrawals from a 
Capital Construction Fund established under Section 607 of the Act 
shall be 5.62 percent, with respect to nonqualified withdrawals made in 
the taxable year beginning in 1994.
    The determination of the applicable rate of interest with respect 
to nonqualified withdrawals was computed, according to the joint 
regulations issued under the Act (46 CFR 391.7(e)(2)(ii)), by 
multiplying eight percent by the ratio which (a) the average yield on 
5-year Treasury securities for the calendar year immediately preceding 
the beginning of such taxable year bears to (b) the average yield on 5-
year Treasury securities for the calendar year 1970. The applicable 
rate so determined was computed to the nearest one-hundredth of one 
percent.

    SO ORDERED BY:
Maritime Administrator, Maritime Administration.
Administrator, National Oceanic, and Atmopsheric Administration.
Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy, Department of the Treasury.

    Dated: August 11, 1994.
A.J. Herberger,
Maritime Administrator.
Douglas K. Hall,
Acting Undersecretary for Oceans and Atmosphere.
Leslie Samuels,
Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy.
