Interest Rate Risk
 
At December 31, 2008, we had debt outstanding of $5.8 billion. Of this amount, $4.8 billion, or 83%, bears interest at fixed rates averaging 7.2%. Additionally, we had $1.0 billion of outstanding commercial paper, bearing interest at floating rates which averaged 3.0%.
 
We also have interest rate swaps to mitigate a portion of the fair value effects of interest rate fluctuations on our fixed-rate debt. Under the terms of these swaps, we receive a fixed rate and pay a variable rate on a total notional amount of $1.05 billion. The key terms of these interest rate swaps are presented in the following table.

The fair values of our interest rate instruments are largely determined by estimates of the forward curves of the Federal Funds rate and LIBOR. At December 31, 2008, a 10% increase in these forward curves would have decreased our net assets by approximately $3 million.

At December 31, 2007, we had debt outstanding of $7.9 billion. Of this amount, $5.5 billion, or 69%, bears interest at fixed rates averaging 7.3%. Additionally, we had $1.0 billion of outstanding commercial paper and $1.4 billion of credit facility borrowings bearing interest at floating rates, which averaged 5.07% and 5.27%, respectively. At the end of 2007 and as of February 15, 2008, we did not have any interest rate hedging instruments.

At December 31, 2006, we had debt outstanding of $7.8 billion. Of this amount, $5.6 billion, or 72%, bears interest at fixed rates averaging 7.3%. Additionally, we had $1.8 billion of outstanding commercial paper

bearing interest at floating rates which averaged 5.37% at December 31, 2006. The remaining debt consists of $400 million 4.375% senior notes due in October of 2007. Through the use of an interest rate swap, this fixed-rate debt has been converted to floating-rate debt bearing interest equal to LIBOR plus 40 basis points.
 
We use a sensitivity analysis technique to evaluate the hypothetical effect that changes in interest rates may have on the fair value of any outstanding interest rate swap instruments. At December 31, 2006, a 10% increase in the underlying interest rates would have decreased the fair value of our interest rate swap by $2 million.
 
The above sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk excludes accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities because of the short-term maturity of such instruments.
