          well as emergency smoke relief in the event of a fire.                      
          Thermostats in the Reserve Facility register temperatures in the            
          50 degrees Fahrenheit to 85 degrees Fahrenheit range.  The                  
          Reserve Facility is not air-conditioned.                                    
               The Reserve Facility's electrical systems include lighting,            
          power, alarm, and control systems.  These systems are also                  
          integrated into the rack system.  Conduits, fixtures, and                   
          junction boxes are supported by the racks and other structural              
          elements of the Reserve Facility.  The Reserve Facility uses a              
          task-lighting approach, providing illumination only where                   
          required.  The two open areas and the west mezzanine of the                 
          Reserve Facility have general illumination, while the rack system           
          area is lighted with only minimal safety lighting, since the                
          transtackers have their own lighting on the work platform.                  
               The Reserve Facility also contains a fire protection system            
          that conforms to National Fire Protection Association code                  
          requirements.  The fire protection system is a wet, water-based,            
          sprinkler system, which provides protection for the contents of             
          the racks.  The sprinkler system includes sprinklers at roof                
          level, supported by the roof, and at two other intermediate                 
          levels supported by the racks.  One intermediate level is located           
          at approximately 18.5 feet above the floor, and the other is                
          located at approximately 39.5 feet above the floor.  These                  
          intermediate sprinkler levels are integrated into the racks, and            
          there are plywood shelves immediately above those sprinkler
