Purchase Commitments
 
The Company has entered into fuel purchase agreements for approximately 50% of its fuel requirements over the next sixthree months. TheseThe Company has not entered into any fuel purchase agreements for 2003. At September 27, 2002, the agreements amount to approximately 14470 million gallons in commitments at a weighted average of 78 cents per gallon. These contracts require the Company to take monthly delivery of specified quantities of fuel at a fixed price. These contracts cannot be net settled.
 
CSXT also has a commitment under a long-term maintenance program for approximately 40% of the Company’s fleet of locomotives. The agreement expires in 20242025 and totals $2.7$2.6 billion.
 
Contingencies
 
EnvironmentalSelf-Insurance
 
CSXT is a party to various proceedings involving private partiesThe Company obtains substantial amounts of commercial insurance for potential losses for third-party liability and regulatory agencies related to environmental issues. CSXT has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”)property damages. It also self-insures at 82 environmentally impaired sites that are or may be subject to remedial action under the Federal Superfund statute (“Superfund”) or similar state statutes. A number of these proceedings arereasonable levels, based on allegations that CSXT, or its railroad predecessors, sent hazardous substances to the facilities in question for disposal. Such proceedings arising under Superfund or similar state statutes can involve numerous other waste generators and disposal companies and seek to allocate or recover costs associated with site investigation and cleanup, which could be substantial.
CSXT is involved in a number of administrative and judicial proceedings and other clean-up efforts at 206 sites, including the sites addressed under Superfund or similar state statutes, where it is participating in the study and/or clean-up of alleged environmental contamination. The assessment of the required responsemarket risks and remedial costs associated with most sites is extremely complex. Cost estimates are based on information available for each site, financial viability of other PRPs, where available, and existing technology, laws and regulations. CSXT’s best estimates of the allocation method and percentage of liability when other PRPs are involved are based on assessments by consultants, agreements among PRPs, or determinations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or other regulatory agencies.practices.

Contingencies, Continued
 
Environmental, ContinuedCasualty
CSXT incurs claims for occupational injuries, personal injuries and accidents. Casualty reserves are estimated based upon the first reporting of an accident or personal injury, and updated as information develops. Liabilities for accidents are based upon the type and severity of the injury or claim and the use of current trends and historical data. The Company believes it has recorded liabilities in sufficient amounts to cover all identified claims and estimates of incurred, but not reported personal injury and accident claims. Unreported occupational injuries are not subject to reasonable estimation, thus no provision is made for incurred, but not reported occupational injuries. Occupational injury, personal injury and accident liabilities amount to $425 million and $435 million at September 27, 2002 and December 28, 2001, respectively.
Environmental
CSXT is a party to various proceedings involving private parties and regulatory agencies related to environmental issues. CSXT has been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at 89 environmentally impaired sites that are, or may be, subject to remedial action under the Federal Superfund statute (“Superfund”) or similar state statutes. A number of these proceedings are based on allegations that CSXT, or its railroad predecessors, sent hazardous substances to the facilities in question for disposal. Such proceedings arising under Superfund or similar state statutes can involve numerous other waste generators and disposal companies and seek to allocate or recover costs associated with site investigation and cleanup, which could be substantial.
CSXT is involved in a number of administrative and judicial proceedings and other clean-up efforts at 206 sites. The 206 sites where it is participating in the study or clean-up of alleged environmental contamination include the 89 Superfund sites noted above.
 
At least once each quarter, CSXT reviews its role, if any, with respect to each such location, giving consideration to the nature of CSXT’s alleged connection to the location (e.g., generator of waste sent to the site, owner or operator)operator of the site), the extent of CSXT’s alleged connection (e.g., volume of waste sent to the location and other relevant factors), the accuracy and strength of evidence connecting CSXT to the location, and the number, connection, and financial position and ability to pay of other named and unnamed PRPs at the location. The ultimate liability for remediation can be difficult to determine with certainty because of the number and creditworthiness of PRPs involved. Through the assessment process, CSXT monitors the creditworthiness of such PRPs in determining ultimate liability.
 
Based upon such reviews and updates of the sites with which it is involved,assessment review process, CSXT has recorded, and reviews at least quarterly for adequacy, reserves to cover estimated contingent future environmental costs with respect to such sites. The recorded liabilities for estimated future environmental costs were $32 million at June 28,September 27, 2002, and December 28, 2001.2001 were $34 and $32 million, respectively. These recorded liabilities, which are undiscounted, include amounts representing CSXT’s estimate of unasserted claims, which CSXT believes to be immaterial. The liability has been accrued for future costs for all sites where CSXT’sthe Company’s obligation is probable and where such costs can be reasonably estimated. The liability includes future costs for remediation and restoration of sites as well as any significant ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any anticipated insurance recoveries. The majority of the June 28,September 27, 2002 environmental liability is expected to be paid out over the next five to seven years, funded by cash generated from operations.

The Company does not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of additional liabilities, if any, on some sites until completion of future environmental studies. In addition, latent conditions at any given location could result in exposure, the amount and materiality of which cannot presently be reliably estimated. Based upon information currently available, however, CSXTthe Company believes its environmental reserves are adequate to accomplish remedial actions to comply with present laws and regulations, and that the ultimate liability for these matters will not materially affect its overall results of operations and financial condition.
 
New Orleans Tank Car Fire
 
In 2001 CSXT reached aCSXT’s settlement of the New Orleans Tank Car Fire litigation, whichLitigation was subject to a fairness hearing and court approval. The amount to be paid by CSXT under the settlement is $220 million, $85of which approximately $135 million was funded by CSXT’s insurers, and was paid during the third quarter of 2002 to be paid net of insurance recoveries. The fairness hearing occurred in April 2002, and the Court approved the settlement. The time has run for appeals. The Company is fully accrued for this settlement, which is subject to plaintiffs’ attorney’s reaching agreement with the group of plaintiffs. The Company expects that agreement to be obtained and the settlement is expected to be paid in 2002.

Contract Settlement
 
In July the Company received $44 million as the first of two payments to settle a contract dispute. In the quarter ended September 27, 2002, the Company recognized approximately $7 million of this first payment in other income as this amount related to prior periods. The remaining $37 million will be recognized ratably over the contract period which ends in 2020.The second payment of $23 million is due in January 2003. The accounting for the settlement is under review,2003 and the Company believes some portion will likewise be recognized in the third quarter of 2002, but will be primarily recognized ratably over the remaining 18 year lifecontract period which ends in 2020. The results of the contract.this settlement will provide approximately $3 million in annual pretax earnings through 2020.
 
Other Legal Proceedings
 
A number of other legal actions are pending against CSXT in which claims are made in substantial amounts. While the ultimate results of these actions against CSXT cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not currently expect that resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on CSXT’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is also party to a number of actions, the resolution of which could result in gain realization in amounts that could be material to results of operations in the quarter received.

Labor and fringe benefits decreasedFuel costs were down $14 million, $13 million primarily resulting from increased crew productivity and net headcount reductions of approximately 1,700 from prior year quarter as part of a continued effort by managementdue to eliminate inefficiencies, which was somewhat offset by inflation.

The net impact on operating income of reduced fuel price was $11$4 million, since $9 million of fuel surcharge revenue was eliminated.

OUTLOOK
During the remainder of 2002, CSXT expects that its financial results will improve as the industrial sector slowly recovers from the industrial recession that impacted the company’s volumes negatively over the last seven quarters. CSXT believes it is ready to capitalize and benefit significantly from an economic recovery through the inherent operating leverage that it possesses. Even if an economic recovery does not materialize until 2003, CSXT still anticipates posting quarterly year-over-year improvements in earnings throughout the remainder of the year.

Other important assumptions and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are specified elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in the Company’s other SEC reports, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the Company’s website at www.csx.com.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
The Company is subject to risk relating to changes in the price of diesel fuel. Forward purchase agreements have been entered into with various suppliers for approximately 14470 million gallons of fuel, which is approximately 50% of the remaining 2002 requirement over the next three months, at a weighted average price of 78 cents per gallon. The Company is subject to fluctuations in prices for the remainder of its 2002 needs. A one cent change in the price per gallon of fuel would affect fuel expense for the remainder of 2002 by approximately $1.4$0.7 million. The Company has not entered into any fuel purchase contracts for 2003.
 
CSXT participates in the CSX cash management plan, under which excess cash is advanced to CSX for investment. CSX than makes cash funds available to CSXT as needed for use in theirits operations CSXT and CSX are committed to repay all amounts due on demand should circumstances require. CSXT is charged for borrowings or compensated for investments based on returns earned by the plan portfolio. At June 28,September 27, 2002 and December 29,28, 2001, CSXT had adeficit balances of $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion, deficit balancerespectively, relating to CSXT’sits participation in the CSX cash management plan, which is included in Due to Parent Company in the Statement of Financial Position. CSXT also had $108 million of floating rate debt outstanding at June 28,September 27, 2002 and December 28, 2001. A 1% increase or decrease in the interest rates would have an approximately $12$1.1 million effect on annual interest expense.
