PACIFIC NORTHWEST ELECTRIC 

POWER AND CONSERVATION 

PLANNING COUNCIL 

Fifth Northwest Electric Power and 

Conservation Plan

AGENCY: Pacific Northwest Electric 

Power and Conservation Planning 

Council (Northwest Power and 

Conservation Council; the Council).

ACTION: Notice of adoption of the Fifth 

Northwest Electric Power and 

Conservation Plan. 

SUMMARY: The Pacific Northwest 

Electric Power Planning and 

Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 839 

et.) (the Power Act) requires the Council 

to adopt and periodically review and 

revise a regional power plan, the 

Northwest Electric Power and 

Conservation Plan (the power plan). The 

Council first adopted the power plan in 

1983, with significant amendments or 

complete revisions adopted in 1986, 

1991 and 1998. The Council began a 

review of the power plan in 2002, and 

in September 2004, the Council released 

for public review and comment the 

Draft Fifth Power Plan. During the 

comment period, the Council held 

public hearings in each of four 

Northwest states, as required by the 

Power Act, engaged in consultations 

about the power plan with various 

governments, entities and individuals in 

the region, and accepted and considered 

substantial written and oral comments. 

At the Council public meeting in 

December 2004 in Portland, Oregon, the 

Council formally adopted the revised 

power plan, called the Fifth Northwest 

Electric Power and Conservation Plan. 

The revised power plan meets the 

requirements of the Power Act, which 

specifies the components the power 

plan is to have. The Power Act requires 

the power plan to include among other 

elements, an energy conservation 

program, a recommendation for research 

and development; a methodology for 

determining quantifiable environmental 

costs and benefits; a 20-year demand 

forecast; a forecast of power resources 

that the Bonneville Power 

Administration will need to meet its 

obligations; an analysis of reserve and 

reserve reliability requirements; and a 

surcharge methodology. The plan also 

includes the Council’s Columbia River 

Basin Fish and Wildlife Program, 

developed pursuant to other procedural 

requirements under the Power Act. 

The Council followed the adoption of 

the power plan with a decision at its 

February 2005 meeting, also in Portland, 

Oregon, to adopt a Response to 

Comments and Statement of Basis and 

Purpose to accompany the final power 

plan. A pre-publication version of the 

final power plan is available on the 

Council’s Web site, at http://

www.nwcouncil.org/energy/powerplan/

draftplan/Default.htm. A formal version 

will be published in the near future.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Variable-Rate Premiums 

Section 4006(a)(3)(E)(iii)(II) of the 

Employee Retirement Income Security 

Act of 1974 (ERISA) and § 4006.4(b)(1) 

of the PBGC’s regulation on Premium 

Rates (29 CFR part 4006) prescribe use 

of an assumed interest rate (the 

‘‘required interest rate’’) in determining 

a single-employer plan’s variable-rate 

premium. Pursuant to the Pension 

Funding Equity Act of 2004, for 

premium payment years beginning in 

2004 or 2005, the required interest rate 

is the ‘‘applicable percentage’’

(currently 85 percent) of the annual rate 

of interest determined by the Secretary 

of the Treasury on amounts invested 

conservatively in long-term investment 

grade corporate bonds for the month 

preceding the beginning of the plan year 

for which premiums are being paid. 

Thus, the required interest rate to be 

used in determining variable-rate 

premiums for premium payment years 

beginning in March 2005 is 4.56 percent 

(i.e., 85 percent of the 5.36 percent 

composite corporate bond rate for 

February 2005 as determined by the 

Treasury). 

The following table lists the required 

interest rates to be used in determining 

variable-rate premiums for premium 

payment years beginning between April 

2004 and March 2005.

For premium payment years 

beginning in: 

The required interest rate is: 

April 2004 ................................. 4.62 

May 2004 .................................. 4.98 

June 2004 ................................. 5.26 

July 2004 .................................. 5.25 

August 2004 ............................. 5.10

January 2005 ............................ 4.73 

February 2005 .......................... 4.66 

March 2005 ............................... 4.56 

Multiemployer Plan Valuations 

Following Mass Withdrawal 

The PBGC’s regulation on Duties of 

Plan Sponsor Following Mass 

Withdrawal (29 CFR part 4281) 

prescribes the use of interest 

assumptions under the PBGC’s 

regulation on Allocation of Assets in 

Single-Employer Plans (29 CFR part 

4044). The interest assumptions 

applicable to valuation dates in April 

2005 under part 4044 are contained in 

an amendment to part 4044 published 

elsewhere in today’s Federal Register. 

Tables showing the assumptions 

applicable to prior periods are codified 

in appendix B to 29 CFR part 4044.

of March 2005.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[File No. 1–11568] 

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application 

of DynTek, Inc. To Withdraw Its 

Common Stock, $.0001 par value, and 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 

and Warrants, From Listing and 

Registration on the Boston Stock 

Exchange, Inc. 

March 9, 2005. 

On February 23, 2005, DynTek, Inc. a 

Delaware corporation (‘‘Issuer’’), filed 

an application with the Securities and 

Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’), 

pursuant to Section 12(d) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 12d2–2(d) 

thereunder,2 to withdraw its common 

stock, $.0001 par value, and series A 

convertible preferred stock and warrants 

(collectively ‘‘Securities’’), from listing 

and registration on the Boston Stock 

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BSE’’).

On February 3, 2005, the Board of 

Directors (‘‘Board’’) of the Issuer 

approved resolutions to withdraw the 

Securities from listing and registration 

on BSE. The Board stated that the 

following reasons factored into its 

decision. In connection with the Issuer’s 

voluntary withdrawal of Securities from 

inclusion for trading on Nasdaq 

SmallCap Market (‘‘Nasdaq’’) on 

December 15, 2004, the Board 

determined that such withdrawal was in 

the best interests of the Issuer and its 

stockholders, and the Issuer’s current 

principal market maker has acted to 

continue to make a market in the 

Securities on the OTC Bulletin Board. 

The Issuer believes that its stockholders 

would be better served by channeling its 

resources into efforts that will accelerate 

the profitable growth of the Issuer, and 

that the ongoing costs, distractions, and 

uncertainties of the process to maintain 

a Nasdaq listing for the Issuer at that 

time was warranted. After the Issuer’s 

voluntary withdrawal from listing on 

Nasdaq, the Issuer received a letter 

dated December 20, 2004 from BSE 

requesting additional information 

regarding the Issuer’s decision to 

voluntary withdraw from Nasdaq, as 

well as other information pertaining to 

the listing of the Securities on BSE. 

After corresponding with BSE, the 

Board determined that it is in the best 

interest of the Issuer and its 

stockholders to voluntarily withdraw 

the listing of its Securities from BSE and 

requested that the Issuer’s current 

market makers continue to make 

markets in the Securities on the OTC 

Bulletin Board. 

The Issuer stated in its application 

that it has complied with BSE rules 

governing the withdrawal of a security 

from BSE by complying with all 

applicable laws in effect in the State of 

Delaware, the state in which the Issuer 

is incorporated, and by complying with 

BSE procedures for delisting by filing 

the required documents governing the 

withdrawal of a security from listing 

and registration on BSE. 

The Issuer’s application relates solely 

to withdrawal of the Securities from 

listing on BSE and from registration 

under Section 12(b) of the Act,3 and 

shall not affect its obligation to be 

registered under Section 12(g) of the 

Act.4

Any interested person may, on or 

before April 4, 2005, comment on the 

facts bearing upon whether the 

application has been made in 

accordance with the rules of the BSE, 

and what terms, if any, should be 

imposed by the Commission for the 

protection of investors. All comment
