This rate is computed by using the treasury constant maturity rate for one-year treasury bills issued by the U. S. government, as published by the Federal Reserve Board on Dec. 17, 2004 (2.67 percent) plus 3.5 percent as required by Section 401.023. The rate will be effective Jan. 1, 2005 through March 31, 2005.
