DIRECT SERVICE AND PUBLIC PLANNING.MWA'S PROGRAMS IN THESE AREAS ADDRESS WATERFRONT ISSUES AND THE NEED TO PLAN AND ADVOCATE FOR THE WISE USE AND PLANNING OF THE NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY WATERFRONT. 0 0 320724 0 0 SEE SCHEDULE O FOR FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND COALITION BUILDING.COMMUNICATIONS AND COALITION BUILDINGMWA IS THE CENTRAL SOURCE OF INFORMATION AND THE HUB FOR COMMUNICATION ABOUT WATERFRONT ISSUES IN THE NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AREA. THROUGH ITS PROGRAMS FOCUSING ON COMMUNICATIONS AND COALITION BUILDING, MWA MAKES A VARIETY OF PLATFORMS AVAILABLE FOR EDUCATION, DISCUSSION, PLANNING, AND COLLABORATION ON THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES FACING THE NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY HARBOR. THE ALLIANCETHE ALLIANCE IS A COALITION OF OVER 400 CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS, UTILITIES, UNIONS, COMPANIES, LOCAL ACTIVISTS, AND MORE, THAT CARE ABOUT IMPROVING THE WATERFRONT. MWA CONVENES ALLIANCE PARTNERS TO WORK TOWARD OUR SHARED VISION OF A HARBOR AND WATERWAYS ALIVE WITH COMMERCE, RECREATION, AND TRANSPORTATION. IN TURN, MWA PROVIDES ALLIANCE PARTNERS WITH IMPORTANT PLATFORMS, LIKE THE CITY OF WATER DAY FESTIVAL, WHERE THEY CAN ENGAGE THE GENERAL PUBLIC, PROMOTE THEIR WORK, AND DEVELOP LASTING, MUTUALLY-BENEFICIAL RELATIONSHIPS. MWA'S TASK FORCESTHE TASK FORCES CONVENED BY MWA TAKE ON THE IMPORTANT TASKS OF DEFINING NEEDS, SYNTHESIZING VARIOUS AGENDAS, PRIORITIZING LAND-USE PROPOSALS, AND DEVELOPING A COMPREHENSIVE VISION FOR THE NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY WATERFRONT. COMPRISED OF SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS, URBAN PLANNERS, COMMUNITY ADVOCATES, GOVERNMENT WORKERS, BOAT CAPTAINS, AND OTHERS, THE TASK FORCES REPRESENT A DIVERSE GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR LOCAL WATERWAYS. MWA'S TASK FORCES FOCUSED ON AQUATECTURE, GREEN HARBOR, HARBOR EDUCATION, HARBOR RECREATION, AND THE WORKING WATERFRONT HAVE BEEN ACTIVE SINCE 2007 AND CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD ON A VARIETY OF CRITICAL AGENDA ITEMS. IN 2010 THE ALLIANCE'S SIX TASK FORCES DOVE INTO THE GREAT TASK OF DRAFTING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A NEW NEW YORK CITY COMPREHENSIVE WATERFRONT PLAN THAT WAS FEASIBLE AND REFLECTED THE NEEDS AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK. MWA WORKED WITH NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF CITY PLANNING, MWA TASK FORCES, AND OUR ALLIANCE PARTNERS TO ENSURE A ROBUST INPUT PROCESS LED TO IMPLEMENTABLE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE WATERFRONT PLAN. MWA CONDUCTED, FACILITATED AND RECORDED PLAN WORKSHOPS AND SUBMITTED COMMENTS TO THE CITY WITH MWA'S GUIDANCE FOR UPDATES TO THE PLAN. MWA HELD OVER 10 TASK FORCE MEETINGS REGARDING THE PLAN AND ASSISTED THE CITY IN THEIR BOROUGH WORKSHOPS. THE TASK FORCES ALSO LAID THE GROUND WORK FOR THE NEW HARBOR COALITION BY CALLING FOR THE NEED FOR MORE REVENUE AND FEDERAL SUPPORT FOR THE HARBOR. IN SOME CASES, THE TASK FORCES HAVE TAKEN THE INITIATIVE TO WORK INDEPENDENTLY. FOR EXAMPLE, THE HARBOR EDUCATION TASK FORCE HAS PRODUCED AND IS FINALIZING A GUIDE TO HARBOR LITERACY TO BE USED BY EDUCATORS DESCRIBING THE BASELINE KNOWLEDGE EVERY STUDENT SHOULD HAVE ABOUT THE HARBOR AND THE WATERFRONT. THE CITY OF WATER DAY FESTIVALTHE CITY OF WATER DAY FESTIVAL IS A UNIQUE AND HIGH-PROFILE ANNUAL EVENT THAT FOCUSES WIDE-SCALE PUBLIC ATTENTION ON THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FACING OUR WATERFRONT AND HIGHLIGHTS SOLUTIONS. THIS FREE, DAYLONG FESTIVAL ON GOVERNORS ISLAND AND IN LIBERTY STATE PARK INSPIRES PEOPLE WITH THE VISION OF A WORLD-CLASS REGIONAL WATERFRONT. MWA ACCOMPLISHES THIS THROUGH WATERFRONT FUN, ENTERTAINMENT, AND RECREATION, AS WELL AS DIALOGUE, HANDS-ON LEARNING, AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, IN A WAY NOT REPLICATED AT ANY OTHER HARBOR EVENT IN THE REGION. IN 2010, 15,000 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN THE FESTIVAL AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS LEARNED OF THE EVENT AND THE POTENTIAL OF THE WATERFRONT THROUGH EXTENSIVE MEDIA COVERAGE.WATERFRONT COMMUNICATIONSOUR COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM HAS ESTABLISHED MWA AS AN AUTHORITATIVE VOICE ON WATERFRONT ISSUES AND A RELIABLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR EVERYONE, FORM THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT TO THE SMALLEST NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS. MWA REACHES THOUSANDS OF ACTIVE WATERFRONT-INSPIRED ORGANIZATIONS, INDIVIDUALS, AND LEADERS THROUGH ITS EFFECTIVE AND POPULAR COMMUNICATION TOOLS. THESE INCLUDE THE BI-WEEKLY ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER, WATERWIRE, DISTRIBUTED TO OVER 6,000 READERS; MWA'S WEBSITE FEATURING IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE WATERFRONT AND THE WATERFRONT ACTION AGENDA; A SEMIANNUAL PRINTED NEWSLETTER; AND A DATABASE OF HUNDREDS OF WATERFRONT ACCESS POINTS LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE REGION. THROUGH ITS ROLE AS THE REGIONAL WATERFRONT CONVENER, MWA HAS BECOME A NEXUS FOR NEWS AND POLICY REGARDING THE WATERFRONT THROUGH ITS PRIMARY COMMUNICATION VEHICLE, WATERWIRE. IMPORTANT ISSUES AND EVENTS ARE TRANSMITTED TO THE WATERFRONT COMMUNITY AND SOMETIMES PICKED UP BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AS STORIES.MWA ALSO CONDUCTS IN-DEPTH RESEARCH THAT AFFECTS AND CREATES NEW POLICY, AND WHICH IS AVAILABLE AS DOCUMENTS, PUBLICATIONS, AND WHITE PAPERS ON ITS WEBSITE. 246266 0 26101 SEE SCHEDULE O FOR POLICY INITIATIVES.POLICY INITIATIVESAS A RESULT OF ITS ONGOING WORK TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF WATERFRONT ISSUES AND EFFECT CHANGE, MWA HAS CREATED THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS HIGH-PRIORITY POLICY INITIATIVES. WITH EACH OF THESE PROGRAMS, MWA HAS IDENTIFIED IMPORTANT LEVERAGE POINTS WHERE THE ORGANIZATION CAN USE ITS CONSIDERABLE REPUTATION AND INFLUENCE TO PRESENT A PLAN, BUILD CONSENSUS, AND ULTIMATELY TAKE ACTION TO BENEFIT THE WATERFRONT. WATERFRONT PERMITTING PROGRAMIN THE NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY HARBOR THERE ARE DOZENS OF GOVERNMENT AGENCIES RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME ASPECT OF REGULATING WATERFRONT USE, RESULTING IN A COMPLICATED, NON-TRANSPARENT SYSTEM THAT STYMIES EVEN THE MOST SOPHISTICATED WATERFRONT OPERATORS. MWA HAS TAKEN A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN CLARIFYING AND REFINING THE WATERFRONT PERMITTING SYSTEM, AND HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS THE VOICE FOR THE MARITIME INDUSTRY, COMMUNITY GROUPS, DESIGN FIRMS, PARK DEVELOPERS, AND OTHERS, LOOKING TO CREATE ECOLOGICALLY SOUND WATERFRONT PROJECTS THAT BENEFIT THE CITY AND ITS RESIDENTS. IN 2008, MWA CONDUCTED EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE PERMITTING SYSTEM FROM WHICH FOUR WORK PRODUCTS WERE DEVELOPED, INCLUDING THE REPORT IMPROVING WATERFRONT PERMITTING IN THE NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY HARBOR ESTUARY CONTAINING 26 PERMITTING REFORM RECOMMENDATIONS. OVER THE LAST 18 MONTHS, THE REPORT HAS PROVEN TO BE A CATALYST FOR IMPROVING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STATE AND CITY AGENCIES AND HAS SERVED AS THE BASIS OF THE NEW YORK CITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION'S MARITIME INFRASTRUCTURE AND PERMITTING COMMITTEE. THE MEETINGS WERE DESIGNED TO REACH BETTER AGREEMENT AND SOLUTIONS TO THE REGULATORY IMPASSE ON HOW TO REFORM WATERFRONT PERMITTING AND TO DISCUSS SEVERAL OF THE TOP WATERFRONT PERMITTING RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE REPORT. SOME AGREEMENT WAS REACHED AND IT IS LIKELY THE SUBCOMMITTEE WILL FUNCTION AS PART OF THE NEW YORK CITY WATERFRONT ADVISORY BOARD.REGIONAL FERRY SERVICEREGIONAL FERRY SERVICE IS A PRIORITY ADVOCACY AREA FOR MWA. TO DATE, FERRY SERVICE HAS PLAYED ONLY A LIMITED ROLE IN TRANSPORTATION IN NEW YORK CITY. HOWEVER, THE REVITALIZATION OF THE WATERFRONT IS RENEWING AWARENESS OF THE VALUE OF THE CITY'S WATERWAYS AS A TRANSPORTATION RESOURCE. WATERBORNE RECREATIONAL AND COMMUTER TRANSPORT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MAKE A LASTING POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE REGION BY TAKING CARS OFF THE ROADS AND RELIEVING BURDENS ON MASS TRANSIT. MWA HAS BEEN THE MOST PROMINENT CIVIC VOICE CALLING FOR THE USE OF OUR HARBOR AND WATERWAYS AS A BLUE HIGHWAY FOR COMMUTATION AND FUN, AND FOR RELIEVING CONGESTION. MWA STARTED A REGIONAL FERRY SERVICE RESEARCH PROGRAM IN 2010, TO BE COMPLETED IN 2011 WHICH WILL SERVE AS A RESOURCE LIBRARY TO HELP INFORM AND MORE FULLY DEVELOP MWA'S FERRY STRATEGY. WATERFRONT GOVERNANCE MWA'S 2010 TASK FORCE MEETINGS REVEALED IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE NEED FOR BETTER WATERFRONT GOVERNANCE. A 21ST CENTURY WATERFRONT REQUIRES A 21ST CENTURY GOVERNANCE MODEL THAT ADDRESSES WHO RUNS THE WATERFRONT, WHO PAYS FOR THE WATERFRONT, AND WHO PAYS FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE WATERFRONT, QUESTIONS THAT REMAIN UNANSWERED. MWA BEGAN TO ADVOCATE IN 2010 FOR BETTER WATERFRONT GOVERNANCE, IDENTIFYING THAT THE STRATEGY MUST CONSIST OF TWO COMPONENTS: 1) BROADLY COMMUNICATING THE NEED FOR IMPROVED WATERFRONT GOVERNANCE THROUGH MWA CONFERENCES AND PUBLICATIONS AND 2) DEVELOPING AND DISSEMINATING THE STATE OF THE WATERFRONT - A TOOL FOR HOLDING OUR GOVERNMENT LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR COMMITMENTS MADE FOR THE WATERFRONT. THE STATE OF THE WATERFRONT REPORT WAS DEVELOPED IN 2010 AND WILL BE USED AS A COMMUNICATION TOOL HIGHLIGHTING THE NEED FOR BETTER WATERFRONT GOVERNANCE.WATERFRONT CONFERENCESCONVENED BY MWA, NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY WATERFRONT CONFERENCES GATHER THE REGION'S LEADING WATERFRONT ADVOCATES, POLITICIANS, ENVIRONMENTALISTS, COMMUNITY AND BUSINESS LEADERS, SCIENTISTS, AND ELECTED OFFICIALS TO SHARE IDEAS AND DEVELOP STRATEGIES FOR REVITALIZING THE REGION'S WATERFRONT. MWA'S CONFERENCES ACHIEVE MULTIPLE GOALS - EDUCATING LEADERS, BRINGING TOGETHER MWA'S CONSTITUENCY, GENERATING POLICY IDEAS, AND BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR NEW THINKING.THE 2010 WATERFRONT CONFERENCE WAS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS WITH OVER 620 IN ATTENDANCE. BECAUSE OF THIS OVERWHELMING RESPONSE, AS WELL AS EXTREMELY POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM CONFERENCE PARTICIPANTS, MWA WILL PLAN A WATERFRONT CONFERENCE FLOATING FOLLOW-UP, A MINI-CONFERENCE TO BE HELD IN MAY 2011. IN CREATING THIS BI-ANNUAL EVENT, MWA IS SEEKING TO SUSTAIN THE MOMENTUM CREATED BY THE WATERFRONT CONFERENCE DURING OFF YEARS. 90894 0 0 SEE SCHEDULE O FOR DIRECT SERVICE AND PUBLIC PLANNING.DIRECT SERVICE AND PUBLIC PLANNINGALL OF MWA'S WORK HAS THE END GOAL OF MAKING THE WATERFRONT MORE ACCESSIBLE, SAFE, AND ENJOYABLE FOR EVERYONE IN THE NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY HARBOR REGION. MWA'S DIRECT SERVICE AND PUBLIC PLANNING PROGRAMS PROMOTE ACCESS TO THE WATERFRONT AND WATERWAYS, AND PUT PLANS IN PLACE FOR IMPROVED ACCESS AT MORE SITES IN THE FUTURE. IN ADDITION, THESE PROGRAMS HELP EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT OUR HARBOR, WATERWAYS, AND THE ISSUES THAT THEY FACE, AS WELL AS PROMOTE STEWARDSHIP OF THESE INVALUABLE RESOURCES.HARBOR CAMPHARBOR CAMP IS A UNIQUE WATER-BASED SUMMER CAMP THAT INTRODUCES LOW-INCOME SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN TO NEW YORK CITY'S HARBOR AND WATERWAYS. EACH SUMMER, MWA PROVIDES AN AVERAGE OF 20 NO-COST, ON-WATER, OR WATER-FOCUSED FIELD TRIPS TO CHILDREN FROM LOCAL SETTLEMENT HOUSES, MOST OFTEN ON HISTORIC AND EDUCATIONAL VESSELS. THE TRIPS PROVIDE HANDS-ON ECOLOGICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, MARITIME, AND HISTORICAL EDUCATION, AND CULTIVATE AN ATTITUDE OF STEWARDSHIP IN PARTICIPANTS. IN 2010, OVER 1,100 CHILDREN FROM SETTLEMENT HOUSES PARTICIPATED IN HARBOR CAMP, AN EXPERIENCE THAT WILL SEED THEIR COMMITMENT AS ADULTS TO SHAPE, PROTECT, AND DEVELOP THE WATERFRONT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. HARBOR CAMP EXPANDED IN 2010 THROUGH A NEW PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN MWA AND THE NEW YORK HARBOR SCHOOL. THIS EXPANSION ENABLES HARBOR CAMP TO NOW ALSO SERVE AS A VEHICLE TO INTRODUCE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS TO A HARBOR EDUCATION AND CAREERS IN THE MARITIME INDUSTRY. HARBOR CAMP IS A PART OF A GROWING EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVE FOR MWA THAT INCLUDES THE HARBOR EDUCATION TASK FORCE, MWA'S HARBOR LITERACY DOCUMENT FOR EDUCATORS, SPLASH! - MWA'S WATERFRONT EDUCATION RESOURCE GUIDE, AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING AT CITY OF WATER DAY.DESIGN THE EDGEDESIGN THE EDGE IS A COLLABORATIVE VENTURE TO MAKE INNOVATIVE WATERFRONT DESIGN A STANDARD IN ALL WATERFRONT PROJECTS. BIG BOX STORES, LARGE CONDOMINIUMS, BULKY SEA WALLS, OR POORLY DESIGNED PROMENADES AND WATERFRONT PARKS CAN LOCK AWAY OUR SHORELINE AND HAVE SIGNIFICANT ECOLOGICAL IMPACT. BY GATHERING LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, MARINE ENGINEERS, MARINE BIOLOGISTS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ARTISTS, MWA'S DESIGN THE EDGE PROGRAM CHALLENGES TRADITIONAL PARADIGMS OF WATERFRONT DESIGN AND HAS INITIATED PROJECTS TO TRANSFORM NEW YORK CITY'S MANY SHORELINES THAT ARE POORLY PLANNED FOR OPTIMAL USE. BUILDING ON ITS 2006 DESIGN THE EDGE PROJECT IN HARLEM RIVER PARK (MANHATTAN), MWA COMPLETED TWO MORE DESIGN THE EDGE PROJECTS IN 2010 - IN THE FAR ROCKAWAYS (BROOKLYN) AND NEAR THE SOUTH STREET SEAPORT (MANHATTAN). MWA WORKED IN 2010 TO ENSURE THE PRINCIPLE OF DESIGN THE EDGE WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE NEW YORK CITY COMPREHENSIVE WATERFRONT PLAN.THE OPEN WATERS INITIATIVEMWA'S OPEN WATERS INITIATIVE WILL BRING COMMUNITY ECO DOCKS TO WATERFRONTS THROUGHOUT THE FIVE BOROUGHS, UNLOCKING THE REGION'S WATERFRONT AND ALLOWING HUMAN-POWERED BOATS, HISTORIC AND EDUCATIONAL VESSELS, TALL SHIPS, AND OTHER VESSELS TO VISIT THESE ONCE LAND-LOCKED WATERFRONT COMMUNITIES. THESE FLOATING DOCKS ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL TYPES OF VESSELS, AND THEIR FLEXIBILITY, COST-EFFECTIVENESS, AND POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS MAKE THEM ALMOST UNIVERSALLY APPROVED BY CITY AGENCIES AND COMMUNITIES ALIKE. IN 2010, MWA WORKED EXTENSIVELY TO BEGIN THE PLANNING, DESIGN, AND COORDINATION OF MWA'S FIRST COMMUNITY ECO DOCK TO BE INSTALLED IN 2012 AT THE 69TH ST. PIER IN BAY RIDGE, BROOKLYN. MWA COMPLETED PRELIMINARY WORK IN 2010 WITH ITS ALLIANCE PARTNERS AND USER GROUPS TO ENSURE THAT THE DOCK IS A SUCCESS - BROADLY EMBRACED AND UTILIZED BY THE COMMUNITY - AND SERVES AS THE MODEL AND CATALYST FOR SUBSEQUENT DOCKS THROUGHOUT THE REGION. 657884 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 24 0 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 14 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 NY X X X ROLAND LEWIS 2129359831 241 WATER STREET 3RD FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10038 PAUL BALSER 0.50 X X 0 0 0 JOHN H WATTS 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PAIGE C SUTHERLAND 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KENT L BARWICK 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ROLAND LEWIS 40.00 X X 146933 0 3047 LAURIE BECKELMAN 0.50 X 0 0 0 DR EMLYN KOSTER 0.50 X 0 0 0 MARGARET C AYERS 0.50 X 0 0 0 PEGGY SHEPARD 0.50 X 0 0 0 JOHN NEU 0.50 X 0 0 0 JOHN SOLOMON DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN CULHANE DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 KATHY ROBB 0.50 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER COSTLEY 0.50 X 0 0 0 RICH MILLER 0.50 X 0 0 0 KATE WEINGARTEN 0.50 X 0 0 0 146933 0 3047 1 0 0 0 0 160662 72966 577472 811100 CONFERENCE FEES 900099 26101 26101 26101 31900 160662 51539 -19639 -19639 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 2810 2810 2810 820372 26101 0 -16829 153047 127320 8754 16973 204343 169994 11703 22646 2612 2173 150 289 20073 16699 1149 2225 29802 24792 1706 3304 32419 32419 34500 34500 139859 121085 10734 8040 47846 30859 5844 11143 4155 4155 31651 26330 1812 3509 4712 3920 270 522 6081 5059 348 674 11820 9833 677 1310 10341 8603 592 1146 PROGRAM EXPENSE 79058 79058 TEMPORARY HELP 29976 26876 3100 BAD DEBT 10200 10200 SPECIAL EVENT INDIRECT 8175 8175 MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSE 1356 1128 78 150 862026 657884 89536 114606 122304 298852 318474 122811 4381 2567 44133 15897 37069 28236 482228 452466 35009 46901 18377 18377 53386 65278 X 328842 337188 100000 50000 428842 387188 482228 452466 -41654 0 X X 0 1 1 X 0 X 629398 694013 834310 811100 2968821 629398 694013 834310 811100 2968821 1412029 1556792 9925 2045 2810 14780 2983601 91882 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: MISCELLANEOUS INCOME RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8955 1940 7015 35178 13957 21221 28236 REFUNDABLE ADVANCES 18377 18377 820372 862026 -41654 0 -41654 820372 0 820372 0 820372 862026 0 862026 0 862026 DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48: PART X: MWA RECOGNIZES THE EFFECT OF TAX POSITIONS ONLY IF THOSE POSITIONS ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT OF BEING SUSTAINED.
