1. We note your response to prior comment 1. In your response you indicate that
classification of environmental remediation costs as nonoperating expense is more useful
and informative to investors than cla ssification as discontinued operations.
Notwithstanding the fact that the operations which gave rise to the environmental
remediation costs were discontinued decad es ago, it appears to the Staff that
classification as discontinued operations is required by SAB Topic 5Z(5). Please revise
your classification accordingly in future filings.

2. We note your response to prior comment 4 where you discuss how you estimated the
amount of the liability allocable to NCR. We further note from disclosure on page 35 of
your Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year E nded December 31, 2008 that you established a
range of the share that you and API will join tly bear of the total liability and that you
determined your liability based on the low end of the range. However, we were unable to locate quantitative disclosures relating to the range. Given the apparent uncertainty
regarding your allocation assumptions, tell us why you believe disclo sure regarding your
assumptions, and the possible impact of any ch ange therein, in periods prior to the court
ruling was adequate. Considering the magnit ude of the adjustment to your liability
subsequent to the court ruling, it appears that quantification of the range would have been
necessary for a complete understanding of your potential environmental liability. Also
tell us how much of the liability you assume d would be allocable to PRP’s, other than
you and API, in periods prior to the court ru ling. Refer to Question 2 of SAB Topic 5Y
and Section III.B.3 of SEC Release 33-8350.
Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules, page 93
