We calculate the tension σ of the interface between the confined and deconfined phases by the histogram method in SU(3) lattice gauge theory for temporal extents of 4 and 6 using the recent high-statistics data of the QCDPAX Collaboration. The results are σTc³=0.0292(22) and 0.0218(33) for Nₜ=4 and 6, respectively. The ratio σTc³ shows a scaling violation similar to that already observed for the latent heat L. However, we find that the physically interesting dimensionless combinations (σ³L²T)1/2 and σTL scale within the statistical errors.
