Application forms ar ebeing sent to all homes, along with a letter to households. To apply for free or reduced price meals, households should fill out one application for the household and return it to the school. Additional copies are available at the principal’s office in each school. Applicationa May be submitted at any time during the year. The information provided by the household is confidential; it will be used for the purpose of determining eligibilty. Information may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials.

For the school officials to determine elgibilty, each household thatis now receiving SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly the Food Stamp Program) or that is on the Family Indepence Temporary Assistance Program (FITAP) must provide its SNAP or FITAP case number as well as the signature of an adult household member. All other households must provide the following information on the application: names of all households members, the last four digits of the social security number of either the parent/guardian who is the primary wage earner, or the adult household member who signs the application or a statement that the household member does not posses one; the amount of income (before deductions for taxes, Social Security, etc.) each household member receives; how often th eperson receives the income; where it is from, such as wages, retirement, or welfare, and the signature of an dult household member certifying that the information provided is correct.

If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size increases, the household should contact the school. Such changes may make the children of the household eligible for meal benefits.

Foster children who are the legal responsibility of a welfare agency or court may be eligible for benefits. If a household has foster children and wishes to apply for such meals for them, the household should contact the school for more information.

Households that receive SNAP or FITAP bebfits are not required to complete an application. School officials will determine eligibilty for free meals based on documentation obtained directly from SNAP/FITAP office, which will certify that a child is a member of a household currently receiving SNAP or an assistance unit receiving FITAP benefits. School officials will notify households of their eligibilty. Households who are notified of their eligibilty but do not want their children to receive free meals must contact the school. SNAP and FITPA households should complete an application if they are not notified of their eligibilty by 9/06/2011.

Under the provisions of the free and reduced price policy, Donna Cook will review applications and determine eligibilty. If a parent or guardian is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he may wish to discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. If the parent wishes to make a formal appeal, he may make either an oral or written response to the following:

Notice

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to Article IV, Section 21(D)(1) of the Louisiana Constitution, that on July 29, 2011, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C. (“EGSL”), an electric public utility providing retail electric service to customers in eighteen (18) Parishes of the State of Louisiana, re-filed with the Louisiana Public Service Commission (“LPSC”) its Formula Rate Plan (“FRP”) Rider Evaluation Report for the test year ended December 31, 2010. EGSL is re-filing the Test Year 2010 FRP Evaluation Report, previously filed on May 27, 2011 and assigned to LPSC Docket No. U-31966, solely to cure a publication of legal notice error that occurred in one parish in which EGSL operates. There are no changes between the FRP Evaluation Report filed in May 2011 versus what was filed July 29, 2011.

EGSL’s FRP has a target return on equity (“ROE”) of 10.65% with a plus or minus 75 basis point deadband. The 2010 test year is the final year of the currently approved FRP and EGSL requests that the LPSC consider a renewal/extension of the FRP in this proceeding. EGSL’s FRP 2010 test year filing reflects an EROE of 11.11%. Because the earned ROE is within the earnings deadband, the sharing mechanism in the EGSL FRP provides that no cost of service rate change is required. EGSL has, however, reflected an adjustment to Rider FRP revenues outside of the FRP sharing mechanism for a decrease of approximately $22.8 million to reflect a change in the Additional Capacity Revenue Requirement pursuant to LPSC Special Order 42-2009. EGSL’s FRP filing, if approved by the Commission as filed, will result in a net FRP revenue requirement decrease of approximately $22.8 million, which decrease will be implemented effective the first billing cycle of September 2011, pursuant to Section 2.B.2 of the FRP.

If the Commission approves the 2010 test year as filed, customer rates will decrease as a result of the change in the Additional Capacity Revenue Requirement. It is estimated that the proposed net decrease of $22.8 million will have the following effects upon EGSL customers’ bills based upon May 2011 Fuel Adjustment and Environmental Adjustment Charges. A bill for Residential Service for 1,000 kWh would decrease $1.82 from $92.09 to $90.27. A bill for Small General Service for 5,000 kWh would decrease $11.78 from $548.49 to $536.71. A bill for General Service for 500 kW and 255,500 kWh would decrease $296.61 from $17,881.55 to $17,584.94.

For questions and comments please call the LPSC toll free at (800) 256-2397. Additionally, the Company’s filing and its attachments may be viewed in the Records Division of the LPSC at the following address:

Notice

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to Article IV, Section 21(D)(1) of the Louisiana Constitution, that on July 29, 2011, Entergy Louisiana, LLC (“ELL”) an electric public utility providing retail electric service to customers in forty-six (46) Parishes of the State of Louisiana, re-filed with the Louisiana Public Service Commission (“LPSC”) its Formula Rate Plan (“FRP”) Rider Evaluation Report for the test year ended December 31, 2010. ELL is re-filing the Test Year 2010 FRP Evaluation Report, previously filed on May 13, 2011 and assigned to LPSC Docket No. U-31944, solely to cure a publication of legal notice error that occurred in five parishes in which ELL operates. There are no changes between the FRP Evaluation Report filed in May 2011 versus what was filed July 29, 2011.

ELL’s FRP has a target return on equity (“ROE”) of 10.25% with a plus or minus 80 basis point deadband. The 2010 test year is the final year of the currently approved FRP and ELL requests that the LPSC consider a renewal/extension of the FRP in this proceeding. ELL’s FRP 2010 test year filing reflects an EROE of 11.07%. Because the earned ROE is within 5 basis points outside of the deadband, the sharing mechanism in the ELL FRP provides that no cost of service rate change is required. ELL has, however, reflected an adjustment to Rider FRP revenues outside of the FRP sharing mechanism for an increase of approximately $8.755 thousand to reflect a change in the Additional Capacity Revenue Requirement pursuant to LPSC Special Order 42-2009.

Notwithstanding the slight increase in the Additional Capacity revenue requirement reflected in the filing, if the Commission approves the 2010 test year as filed, customer rates will actually decrease slightly due to the mechanism used to annualize rates. It is estimated that the proposed net increase of $8.755 thousand will have the following effects upon ELL customers’ bills based upon May 2011 Fuel Adjustment and Environmental Adjustment Charges. A bill for Residential Service for 1,000 kWh would decrease $0.02 from $97.19 to $97.17. A bill for Small General Service for 12,500 kWh would decrease $0.18 from $1,328.14 to $1,327.96. A bill for Large General Service for 1,000 kW and 500,000 kWh would decrease $4.09 from $37,536.56 to $37,532.47.

All bidders are notified that the Mineral Board does not obligate itself to accept any bid, and that acceptance is at the sole discretion of the Mineral Board which reserves the right to reject any and all bids or to grant a lease on any portion of the tract advertised and to withdraw the remainder of the tract.

Act 8 of the 2000 Second Extraordinary Legislative Session established two additional fees to be collected from mineral lessees (excluding state agency lands) on all mineral leases awarded. An additional fee of $15 per acre will be collected and deposited into the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Conservation Fund. An additional fee of $5 per acre will be collected and deposited into the Oil and Gas Regulatory Fund. A separate check in the amount of $20 per acre made payable to the Office of Mineral Resources shall accompany the original bid (inside the sealed bid envelope). Bidders may use a regular check for payment of the fees. The successful bidder will not receive the lease executed by the State Mineral and Energy Board until the fees are received. If the bidder is unsuccessful, both the fee check and the Cash Payment bonus check will be returned to the unsuccessful bidder.

All leases awarded shall be executed upon terms and conditions provided in the current State lease form with all applicable riders appended thereto a copy of which is available for review in the Office of Mineral Resources, Petroleum Lands Division, Leasing Section.

Certified check, cashier’s check or bank money order payable to the OFFICE OF MINERAL RESOURCES for the full amount of the aforesaid Cash Payment bonus shall be submitted with and accompany each bid, and no bid, once submitted, may be thereafter withdrawn or canceled. Once the bid is opened and accepted by the Mineral Board, the accompanying checks or money order shall be negotiated by the Office of Mineral Resources and the proceeds disbursed in the manner required by law.

SPECIAL NOTE:

Act 449 of the 2005 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature requires that a prospective lease holder for a State mineral lease be registered with the Office of Mineral Resources. Registration with the Office of Mineral Resources consists of filling out the Prospective Leaseholder form and supplying this office with a certificate from the Secretary of State for the State of Louisiana attesting that the prospective leaseholder is in good standing as authorized to do business in the State of Louisiana. UNDERSTAND that being registered for nomination or any other purpose DOES NOT CONSTITUTE REGISTRATION AS A PROSPECTIVE LEASEHOLDER. Act 449 specifically states that, “Only those bidders who are registered prospective leaseholders with the office of mineral resources shall be allowed to bid on tracts for the purpose of obtaining a mineral lease from the state of Louisiana.” If an entity plans to submit a bid on a tract at any State mineral lease sale, that bid WILL NOT be accepted unless the bidding entity was properly registered with the Office of Mineral Resources prior to the lease sale at which its bid was submitted. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS REQUIREMENT!!!

Under rules promulgated by the Department of Natural Resources in accordance with authority granted by Act 106 of the First Extraordinary Session of the Louisiana Legislature of 2002, a fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the Cash Payment bonus bid is required to be submitted by separate check, accompanying the original bid (inside the sealed bid envelope). Bidders may use a regular check for the 10% fee. The successful bidder will not receive the lease executed by the State Mineral and Energy Board until the fee is received. If the bidder is unsuccessful, both the fee check and the Cash Payment bonus check will be returned to the unsuccessful bidder.

The successful bidder to whom the lease is awarded who receives the written lease executed by the State Mineral and Energy Board shall return the written lease, duly executed by Lessee (all of named Lessees on the lease instrument), within TWENTY (20) DAYS of receipt of same under penalty for failure to do so of forfeiture of the lease, including the Cash Payment bonus and fee tendered and negotiated.

Bids may be for the whole or any particularly described portion of the land advertised, but consistent with Mineral and Energy Board policy. All bidders are hereby notified that bids on portions of tracts shall be described by metes and bounds and be accompanied by a plat (pdf) and should identify the Point of Beginning with X and Y coordinates (if applicable), the Section, Township and Range, the Block No. (if offshore), the Parish, any adjacent existing State Mineral Leases. It shall also show the Topographic features (Land and Water) of the area in detail similar to the Official Plat contained herein. Failure to follow these guidelines in submitting a portion bid may result in outright rejection of the portion bid by the State Mineral and Energy Board at its sole discretion.

Notice is given that the State Mineral and Energy Board will include provisions in the lease to insure applicable payments attributable to the lease property without regard to adverse title claims, disputes, litigation or title failure and the language of those provisions is available to any interested party at the Office of Mineral Resources. Prospective bidders should carefully examine the same prior to submitting any bid.

Some tracts available for leasing may be situated in the Louisiana Coastal Zone as defined in Act 361 of the Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature of 1978 (promulgated as LSA-R. S. 49:213) and may be subject to the guidelines and regulations promulgated by the Coastal Management Section of the Department of Natural Resources for operations in the Coastal Zone.

NOTE: All bids shall specify the Cash Payment bonus for leases as a price per acre amount and an aggregate total amount, whereby a bid for the entire tract shall be controlled by the bid price per acre multiplied by the specified amount of state owned/claimed acreage advertised for the tract, and a bid for a portion of the tract shall be controlled by the bid price per acre multiplied by the actual amount of state owned/claimed acreage within the polygon boundaries of the portion bid. For purposes of rental payments, the price bid per acre for the Cash Bonus, reduced if appropriate to the rental price per acre- but not less than one-half of the price per acre bid for the Cash Bonus- multiplied by the state owned/claimed acreage of the polygon bid (specified acreage if entire tract is bid; actual acreage in portion bid polygon) shall determine the amount of the rental payment throughout the primary term, regardless of any releases. For purposes of deferred development payments, one-half of the price per acre bid for the Cash Bonus multiplied by the state owned/claimed acreage within the remaining lease polygon, if any release has occurred, but outside of a unit polygon within which unit activity is ongoing, shall determine the amount of the deferred development payment.

NOTE: Multiple portion bids on the same tract may be accepted by the State Mineral and Energy Board, even though they overlap. In the case of overlapping portion bids on the same tract, each of which is otherwise acceptable to the State, the State Mineral and Energy Board will indicate which one of the multiple bids on the same tract is most advantageous, considering the royalty, per acre cash payment, bonus, any additional consideration and what, in the sole discretion of the Mineral Board, is in the best interest of the State, and that bid (referred to as “Bid A”) will be given priority in having a lease issued. The State Mineral and Energy Board will also indicate the acceptability of other portion bids on the same tract, if any, in the order of their acceptance (referred to respectively as “Bid B”, “Bid C”, etc.). Once the plat of “Bid A” ‘s portion has been rendered as accurately as possible, “Bid B” will be contacted and given an option to take a lease on the remaining portion of his portion bid acreage not overlapping “Bid A” ‘s bid portion, at “Bid B’ ‘s per acre bid price (both as to bonus and rental); and thereafter, each successive bidder whose bid is otherwise acceptable will be given the option to take a lease on whatever portion remains of his portion bid acreage at his respective per acre bid price, less and except any prior portion bid acreage on which the successful bidder has opted to take a lease.

NOTE: If you require accommodations due to a disability in order to attend or participate in a meeting, please notify the Office of Mineral Resources at P.O. Box 2827, Baton Rouge, LA 70821-2827 or 225-342-4606 at least two (2) working days before the meeting date.

NOTE: DEEPWELL INCENTIVE: It is important for the continued prosperity and welfare of the people of the state of Louisiana, that the state promote the continued growth and development of the mineral resources of the state of Louisiana. It is the intention of this notice to inform the bidders of the economic incentives allowed by state law in order to enhance mineral production to the ultimate benefit of the state. In accordance with the provisions of LA R.S. 47§633(9)(d)(v), Louisiana law allows the suspension of severance tax on the production of natural gas, gas condensate, and oil from any well drilled to a true vertical depth of more than fifteen thousand (15,000) feet, where the production commenced after July 31, 1994. The severance tax exemption shall start from the date of production for twenty-four months or until payout of the well cost, whichever comes first. In addition to this Severance Tax Provision, please refer to other applicable statutes, such as LA R.S. 47§633, 47§633.4 and 30§127.1 for other incentives allowed by Louisiana law.

INLAND TRACTS (Tract Nos. 42252 through 42283 inclusive, herein) are those tracts which lie landward of the Louisiana shoreline as defined by the report of the Special Master in the litigation in the Supreme Court of the United States styled United States v.
