        <Identifier>DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>PART X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>THE COUNCIL HAS ADOPTED THE ACCOUNTING OF UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES AS REQUIRED BY THE INCOME TAXES TOPIC (TOPIC 740) OF THE FASB ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CODIFICATION. TOPIC 740 REQUIRES THE COUNCIL TO DETERMINE WHETHER A TAX POSITION IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITY, INCLUDING RESOLUTION OF ANY RELATED APPEALS OR LITIGATION PROCESSES, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. THE TAX BENEFIT TO BE RECOGNIZED IS MEASURED AS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT THAT IS MORE THAN FIFTY PERCENT LIKELY OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE COUNCIL RECORDING A TAX LIABILITY THAT WOULD REDUCE THE COUNCIL'S CAPITAL. THE COUNCIL HAS ANALYZED ITS TAX POSITIONS, AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT NO LIABILITY FOR UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS SHOULD BE RECORDED RELATED TO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS TAKEN IN OPEN TAX YEARS (2008 - 2010), OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN THE COUNCIL'S 2011 TAX RETURNS. THE COUNCIL IS NOT AWARE OF ANY TAX POSITIONS FOR WHICH IT BELIEVES THAT THERE IS A REASONABLE POSSIBILITY THAT THE TOTAL AMOUNTS OF UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS WILL CHANGE MATERIALLY IN THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS.</Explanation>
