What if they decide to add a step between some of the current amounts? You'd have to generate a new ID for every row. (A good example of why a surrogate key should have no meaning other than as a key.)

If all you want is the row with the greatest amount less than or equal to X, something like these should work:

     Select top 1 *
      from adhoc.rates
     Where amount <= .1653
     Order by amount desc

Or

     Select *
      from adhoc.rates
     Where amount <= .1653
     Qualify row_number() over (order by amount desc) = 1
