What will CEQ do if I do not promptly pay the fee?

If you do not pay a fee within 30 calendar days of the date of the bill: (a) CEQ may charge interest, at the rate provided for in 31 U.S.C. 3717, from the 31st day following the date of billing through the date we receive your payment; and (b) CEQ will follow the provisions of the Debt Collection Act of 1982 (Pub. L. 97-365, 96 Stat. 1749), as amended, including its administrative procedures, which provide for the use of consumer reporting agencies, collection agencies, and offset.
