Context: the analysis of our depreciation studies . changes in the estimated service lives of our assets and their related depreciation rates are implemented prospectively . under group depreciation , the historical cost ( net of salvage ) of depreciable property that is retired or replaced in the ordinary course of business is charged to accumulated depreciation and no gain or loss is recognized . the historical cost of certain track assets is estimated using ( i ) inflation indices published by the bureau of labor statistics and ( ii ) the estimated useful lives of the assets as determined by our depreciation studies . the indices were selected because they closely correlate with the major costs of the properties comprising the applicable track asset classes . because of the number of estimates inherent in the depreciation and retirement processes and because it is impossible to precisely estimate each of these variables until a group of property is completely retired , we continually monitor the estimated service lives of our assets and the accumulated depreciation associated with each asset class to ensure our depreciation rates are appropriate . in addition , we determine if the recorded amount of accumulated depreciation is deficient ( or in excess ) of the amount indicated by our depreciation studies . any deficiency ( or excess ) is amortized as a component of depreciation expense over the remaining service lives of the applicable classes of assets . for retirements of depreciable railroad properties that do not occur in the normal course of business , a gain or loss may be recognized if the retirement meets each of the following three conditions : ( i ) is unusual , ( ii ) is material in amount , and ( iii ) varies significantly from the retirement profile identified through our depreciation studies . a gain or loss is recognized in other income when we sell land or dispose of assets that are not part of our railroad operations . when we purchase an asset , we capitalize all costs necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use . however , many of our assets are self-constructed . a large portion of our capital expenditures is for replacement of existing track assets and other road properties , which is typically performed by our employees , and for track line expansion and other capacity projects . costs that are directly attributable to capital projects ( including overhead costs ) are capitalized . direct costs that are capitalized as part of self- constructed assets include material , labor , and work equipment . indirect costs are capitalized if they clearly relate to the construction of the asset . general and administrative expenditures are expensed as incurred . normal repairs and maintenance , including rail grinding , are also expensed as incurred , while costs incurred that extend the useful life of an asset , improve the safety of our operations or improve operating efficiency are capitalized . these costs are allocated using appropriate statistical bases . total expense for repairs and maintenance incurred was $ 2.1 billion for 2012 , $ 2.2 billion for 2011 , and $ 2.0 billion for 2010 . assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease . amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the period of the related lease . 12 . accounts payable and other current liabilities dec . 31 , dec . 31 , millions 2012 2011 .

agricultural products 2013 higher volume , fuel surcharges , and price improvements increased agricultural freight revenue in 2010 versus 2009 . increased shipments from the midwest to export ports in the pacific northwest combined with heightened demand in mexico drove higher corn and feed grain shipments in 2010 . increased corn and feed grain shipments into ethanol plants in california and idaho and continued growth in ethanol shipments also contributed to this increase . in 2009 , some ethanol plants temporarily ceased operations due to lower ethanol margins , which contributed to the favorable year-over-year comparison . in addition , strong export demand for u.s . wheat via the gulf ports increased shipments of wheat and food grains compared to 2009 . declines in domestic wheat and food shipments partially offset the growth in export shipments . new business in feed and animal protein shipments also increased agricultural shipments in 2010 compared to 2009 . lower volume and fuel surcharges decreased agricultural freight revenue in 2009 versus 2008 . price improvements partially offset these declines . lower demand in both export and domestic markets led to fewer shipments of corn and feed grains , down 11% ( 11 % ) in 2009 compared to 2008 . weaker worldwide demand also reduced export shipments of wheat and food grains in 2009 versus 2008 . automotive 2013 37% ( 37 % ) and 24% ( 24 % ) increases in shipments of finished vehicles and automotive parts in 2010 , respectively , combined with core pricing gains and fuel surcharges , improved automotive freight revenue from relatively weak 2009 levels . economic conditions in 2009 led to poor auto sales and reduced vehicle production , which in turn reduced shipments of finished vehicles and parts during the declines in shipments of finished vehicles and auto parts and lower fuel surcharges reduced freight revenue in 2009 compared to 2008 . vehicle shipments were down 35% ( 35 % ) and parts were down 24% ( 24 % ) . core pricing gains partially offset these declines . these volume declines resulted from economic conditions that reduced sales and vehicle production . in addition , two major domestic automotive manufacturers declared bankruptcy in the second quarter of 2009 , affecting production levels . although the federal car allowance rebate system ( the 201ccash for clunkers 201d program ) helped stimulate vehicle sales and shipments in the third quarter of 2009 , production cuts and soft demand throughout the year more than offset the program 2019s benefits . 2010 agricultural revenue 2010 automotive revenue .

Context: the analysis of our depreciation studies . changes in the estimated service lives of our assets and their related depreciation rates are implemented prospectively . under group depreciation , the historical cost ( net of salvage ) of depreciable property that is retired or replaced in the ordinary course of business is charged to accumulated depreciation and no gain or loss is recognized . the historical cost of certain track assets is estimated using ( i ) inflation indices published by the bureau of labor statistics and ( ii ) the estimated useful lives of the assets as determined by our depreciation studies . the indices were selected because they closely correlate with the major costs of the properties comprising the applicable track asset classes . because of the number of estimates inherent in the depreciation and retirement processes and because it is impossible to precisely estimate each of these variables until a group of property is completely retired , we continually monitor the estimated service lives of our assets and the accumulated depreciation associated with each asset class to ensure our depreciation rates are appropriate . in addition , we determine if the recorded amount of accumulated depreciation is deficient ( or in excess ) of the amount indicated by our depreciation studies . any deficiency ( or excess ) is amortized as a component of depreciation expense over the remaining service lives of the applicable classes of assets . for retirements of depreciable railroad properties that do not occur in the normal course of business , a gain or loss may be recognized if the retirement meets each of the following three conditions : ( i ) is unusual , ( ii ) is material in amount , and ( iii ) varies significantly from the retirement profile identified through our depreciation studies . a gain or loss is recognized in other income when we sell land or dispose of assets that are not part of our railroad operations . when we purchase an asset , we capitalize all costs necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use . however , many of our assets are self-constructed . a large portion of our capital expenditures is for replacement of existing track assets and other road properties , which is typically performed by our employees , and for track line expansion and other capacity projects . costs that are directly attributable to capital projects ( including overhead costs ) are capitalized . direct costs that are capitalized as part of self- constructed assets include material , labor , and work equipment . indirect costs are capitalized if they clearly relate to the construction of the asset . general and administrative expenditures are expensed as incurred . normal repairs and maintenance are also expensed as incurred , while costs incurred that extend the useful life of an asset , improve the safety of our operations or improve operating efficiency are capitalized . these costs are allocated using appropriate statistical bases . total expense for repairs and maintenance incurred was $ 2.3 billion for 2013 , $ 2.1 billion for 2012 , and $ 2.2 billion for 2011 . assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease . amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the period of the related lease . 12 . accounts payable and other current liabilities dec . 31 , dec . 31 , millions 2013 2012 .

Context: taxing authorities could challenge our historical and future tax positions . our future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory rates and changes in tax laws or their interpretation including changes related to tax holidays or tax incentives . our taxes could increase if certain tax holidays or incentives are not renewed upon expiration , or if tax rates or regimes applicable to us in such jurisdictions are otherwise increased . the amount of tax we pay is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we file . we have taken and will continue to take tax positions based on our interpretation of such tax laws . in particular , we will seek to organize and operate ourselves in such a way that we are and remain tax resident in the united kingdom . additionally , in determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes , we regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from tax examinations . while it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of the resolution of a tax examination , our reserves for uncertain tax benefits reflect the outcome of tax positions that are more likely than not to occur . while we believe that we have complied with all applicable tax laws , there can be no assurance that a taxing authority will not have a different interpretation of the law and assess us with additional taxes . should additional taxes be assessed , this may result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition . item 1b . unresolved staff comments we have no unresolved sec staff comments to report . item 2 . properties as of december 31 , 2016 , we owned or leased 126 major manufacturing sites and 15 major technical centers . a manufacturing site may include multiple plants and may be wholly or partially owned or leased . we also have many smaller manufacturing sites , sales offices , warehouses , engineering centers , joint ventures and other investments strategically located throughout the world . we have a presence in 46 countries . the following table shows the regional distribution of our major manufacturing sites by the operating segment that uses such facilities : north america europe , middle east & africa asia pacific south america total .

in addition to these manufacturing sites , we had 15 major technical centers : five in north america ; five in europe , middle east and africa ; four in asia pacific ; and one in south america . of our 126 major manufacturing sites and 15 major technical centers , which include facilities owned or leased by our consolidated subsidiaries , 75 are primarily owned and 66 are primarily leased . we frequently review our real estate portfolio and develop footprint strategies to support our customers 2019 global plans , while at the same time supporting our technical needs and controlling operating expenses . we believe our evolving portfolio will meet current and anticipated future needs . item 3 . legal proceedings we are from time to time subject to various actions , claims , suits , government investigations , and other proceedings incidental to our business , including those arising out of alleged defects , breach of contracts , competition and antitrust matters , product warranties , intellectual property matters , personal injury claims and employment-related matters . it is our opinion that the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position , results of operations , or cash flows . with respect to warranty matters , although we cannot ensure that the future costs of warranty claims by customers will not be material , we believe our established reserves are adequate to cover potential warranty settlements . however , the final amounts required to resolve these matters could differ materially from our recorded estimates. .

cercla ) . many of these proceedings involve the cleanup of hazardous substances at large commercial landfills that received waste from many different sources . while joint and several liability is authorized under cercla and equivalent state laws , as a practical matter , liability for cercla cleanups is typically allocated among the many potential responsible parties . remedial costs are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they become probable and reasonably estimable . international paper has estimated the probable liability associated with these matters to be approximately $ 94 million in the aggregate at december 31 , 2013 . cass lake : one of the matters referenced above is a closed wood treating facility located in cass lake , minnesota . during 2009 ,

a proposed soil remedy at the site with an estimated cost of $ 46 million . the overall remediation reserve for the site is currently $ 51 million to address this selection of an alternative for the soil remediation component of the overall site remedy . in october 2011 , the epa released a public statement indicating that the final soil remedy decision would be delayed . in the unlikely event that the epa changes its proposed soil remedy and approves instead a more expensive clean-up alternative , the remediation costs could be material , and significantly higher than amounts currently recorded . in october 2012 , the natural resource trustees for this site provided notice to international paper and other potentially responsible parties of their intent to perform a natural resource damage assessment . it is premature to predict the outcome of the assessment or to estimate a loss or range of loss , if any , which may be incurred . other : in addition to the above matters , other

and continues to collect information from the epa and other parties relative to the site to evaluate the extent of its liability , if any , with respect to the site . accordingly , it is premature to

fort james corporation and georgia pacific llc in a contribution and cost recovery action for alleged pollution at the site . the suit seeks contribution under cercla for $ 79 million in costs
