Our effective tax rate can fluctuate significantly from period to period and may differ significantly from the U.S. federal statutory rate as a result of income taxed in various non-U.S. jurisdictions with rates different from the U.S. statutory rate, as a result of our inability to recognize a tax benefit for losses generated by certain unprofitable operations and as a result of the varying mix of income earned in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We have reduced our U.S. and certain non-U.S. tax benefits by a valuation allowance based on a consideration of all available evidence, which indicates that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In periods when operating units subject to a valuation allowance generate pretax earnings, the corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance favorably impacts our effective tax rate. Conversely, in periods when operating units subject to a valuation allowance generate pretax losses, the corresponding increase in the valuation allowance has an unfavorable impact on our effective tax rate.                 Fiscal Year 2010   Our effective tax rate for the fiscal first three months of 2010 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% due principally to the net impact of the following: ·         Income earned in tax jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, which is expected to contribute to an approximate 19-percentage point reduction in the effective tax rate for the full year 2010. ·         A valuation allowance increase because we are unable to recognize a tax benefit for losses subject to valuation allowance in certain jurisdictions (primarily the United States), which is expected to contribute an approximate five-percentage point increase in the effective tax rate for the full year 2010.  Fiscal Year 2009 Our effective tax rate for the fiscal three months ended March 31, 2009 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% due principally to the impact of the following: ·         Income earned in tax jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, which contributed to an approximate 19-percentage point reduction in the effective tax rate; and ·         A valuation allowance increase because we were unable to recognize a tax benefit for losses subject to valuation allowance in certain jurisdictions (primarily the United States), which contributed to an approximate five-percentage point increase in the effective tax rate. These variances were partially offset by losses in certain other jurisdictions for which no benefit was recognized (a valuation allowance is established) and other permanent differences. We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, the need for the valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions in which we currently maintain a valuation allowance. Such evaluation includes a review of all available evidence, both positive and negative, in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary. Our subsidiaries file income tax returns in numerous tax jurisdictions, including the United States, several U.S. states and numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions around the world. Tax returns are also filed in jurisdictions where our subsidiaries execute project-related work. The statute of limitations varies by jurisdiction. Because of the number of jurisdictions in which we file tax returns, in any given year the statute of limitations in a number of jurisdictions may expire within 12 months from the balance sheet date. As a result, we expect recurring changes in unrecognized tax benefits due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, none of which are expected to be individually significant. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. (including federal, state and local) or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal year 2005. A number of tax years are under audit by the relevant state and non-U.S. tax authorities. We anticipate that several of these audits may be concluded in the foreseeable future, including in fiscal year 2010. Based on the status of these audits, it is reasonably possible that the conclusion of the audits may result in a reduction of unrecognized tax benefits. However, it is not possible to estimate the magnitude of any such reduction at this time. We recognize interest accrued on the unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties on the unrecognized tax benefits in other deductions, net on our consolidated statement of operations. During the fiscal three months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded a net increase of interest expense of $942, which included $4 of previously accrued interest expense that was ultimately not assessed and net reduction of penalties on unrecognized tax benefits of $101 which included $123 of previously accrued tax penalties that were ultimately not assessed. During the fiscal three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded a net reduction of interest expense of $62, which included $499 of previously accrued interest expense that was ultimately not assessed and a net reduction of penalties on unrecognized tax benefits of $102, which included $577 of previously accrued tax penalties that were ultimately not assessed.  </div></div> </div> 10.       Income Taxes The tax provision for each year-to-date period is calculated by multiplying pretax income by the false false false Description containing the entire income tax disclosure.
