IB Net Short Stock Interest

In my IB statement, under the interest header, I see a small credit for December, (USD Net Short Stock Interest for Dec-2016) and a smaller debit for March. Just out of curiosity, what determines whether I get a credit or debit for shorting stock? And why would I ever receive a credit for shorting stock?
