This table summarizes the principal amounts of our long-term debt excluding unamortized discounts:

 

                Book value     Principal amount  
(In millions)               December 31,     December 31,     December 31,     December 31,  
Interest rate     Year of issue         2011     2010     2011     2010  
                                     
  6.900 %     1998     Senior debentures, due 2028   $ 28     $ 28     $ 28     $ 28  
  6.920 %     2005     Senior debentures, due 2028     391       391       391       391

                 Total   $ 790     $ 790     $ 793     $ 793  

 

The fair value of our senior debt approximated $814 million at year-end 2011 compared with $783 million at year-end 2010. Fair value for 2011 and 2010 was determined under ASC 820 based on market pricing of these or similar debt instruments that are actively trading. Fair value can vary with macroeconomic concerns. Regardless of the fluctuations in fair value, the outstanding principal amount of our long-term debt remained unchanged from year-end 2010. None of the notes are encumbered by rating triggers.

 

Below are the expected capital lease obligations, totaling $31 million, excluding an insignificant amount of interest, that we expect to pay over the next five years:
