DEBT
Non-Bank Debt
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the following activity occurred related to our non-bank debt:
in May 2011, we made a scheduled debt repayment of $200 million related to our 6.125% senior notes;
in April 2011, we made scheduled debt repayments of $8 million related to our Series A 5.45%, Series B 5.40%, and Series C 5.40% industrial revenue bonds;
in February 2011, we made a scheduled debt repayment of $210 million related to our 6.75% senior notes; and
in February 2011, we paid $300 million to acquire the Gulf Opportunity Zone Revenue Bonds Series 2010 (GO Zone Bonds), which were subject to mandatory tender. We expect to hold the GO Zone Bonds for our own account until conditions permit the remarketing of these bonds at an interest rate acceptable to us.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the following activity occurred related to our non-bank debt:
in June 2010, we made a scheduled debt repayment of $25 million related to our 7.25% debentures;
in May 2010, we redeemed our 6.75% senior notes with a maturity date of May 1, 2014 for $190 million, or 102.25% of stated value;
in April 2010, we made scheduled debt repayments of $8 million related to our Series A 5.45%, Series B 5.40%, and Series C 5.40% industrial revenue bonds;
in March 2010, we redeemed our 7.50% senior notes with a maturity date of June 15, 2015 for $294 million, or 102.5% of stated value; and
in February 2010, we issued $400 million of 4.50% notes due in February 2015 and $850 million of 6.125% notes due in February 2020 for total net proceeds of $1.2 billion.

Bank Debt and Credit Facilities
We have a $2.4 billion revolving credit facility (the Revolver) that has a maturity date of November 2012. The Revolver has certain restrictive covenants, including a maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio of 60 percent. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our debt-to-capitalization ratio, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Revolver, was 22 percent and 25 percent, respectively. We believe that we will remain in compliance with this covenant.

In addition to the Revolver, one of our Canadian subsidiaries has a committed revolving credit facility under which it may borrow and obtain letters of credit up to C$115 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had no borrowings or repayments under our Revolver or the Canadian revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver or the Canadian revolving credit facility.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had $346 million and $176 million, respectively, of letters of credit outstanding under our uncommitted short-term bank credit facilities.

In connection with the Pembroke Acquisition, we assumed a €2.8 million short-term demand loan, which bears interest at EURIBOR plus a margin. We expect to repay the loan on or before February 2012.

Accounts Receivable Sales Facility
We have an accounts receivable sales facility with a group of third-party entities and financial institutions to sell on a revolving basis up to $1 billion of eligible trade receivables. We amended our agreement in June 2011 to extend the maturity date to June 2012. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the amount of eligible receivables sold was $100 million. There were no sales or repayments of eligible receivables during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we sold $1.2 billion of eligible receivables and repaid $1.3 billion to the third-party entities and financial institutions. Proceeds from the sale of receivables under this facility are reflected as debt.

Capitalized Interest
Capitalized interest was $41 million and $25 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $101 million and $67 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
