NOTICE OF MEETINGS

OPEN BOARD MEETING
(Board meetings are available by audio webcast and telephone.)

No Board meetings are planned for the week of March 5, 2007. The next scheduled Board meeting is Wednesday, March 14, 2007, and topics for that meeting will be announced in next week’s issue of Action Alert.

OPEN EDUCATION SESSION

Wednesday, March 7, 2007, 9:00 a.m.

The Board will hold an educational, non-decision-making session to discuss topics that are anticipated to be discussed at the March 14, 2007 Board meeting. Those topics will be posted to the FASB calendar four days prior to the education session.

BOARD ACTIONS

The Board Actions are provided for the information and convenience of constituents who want to follow the Board’s deliberations. All of the conclusions reported are tentative and may be changed at future Board meetings. Decisions are included in an Exposure Draft for formal comment only after a formal written ballot. Decisions in an Exposure Draft may be (and often are) changed in redeliberations based on information provided to the Board in comment letters, at public roundtable discussions, and through other communication channels. Decisions become final only after a formal written ballot to issue a final Statement, Interpretation, or FSP.

February 21, 2007 Board Meeting

Agenda decision: emission allowances. The Board added a project to its agenda to provide comprehensive guidance for participants in emission trading programs. The project will provide guidance for emission allowances as well as liability recognition and measurement as a result of an entity’s emitting pollutants. At a future meeting, the Board will determine whether the scope of the project will include guidance for traders of emission allowances or whether that guidance should be provided in phase 2 of the Board’s project on fair value option or in another potential project, such as accounting for traded physical commodity inventory.

FASB DOCUMENT AVAILABLE

Proposed FSP FIN 48-a, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48,” was issued and posted to the FASB website on February 27, 2007. Comments are requested by March 28, 2007.
