FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

The following table summarizes the basis used to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis:

Basis of Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis at December 31	Significant Other Observable Inputs  (Level 2)		Significant Other Observable Inputs  (Level 2)
In millions	2016		2015
Assets at fair value:
Cash equivalents	$	7	$	5
Debt securities (1)	$	2	$	4
Liabilities at fair value:
Long-term debt (2)	$	571	$	573

(1) Included in “Other investments” in the consolidated balance sheets.

(2) See Note 10 for information on fair value measurements of long-term debt.

For assets and liabilities classified as Level 2 measurements, where the security is frequently traded in less active markets, fair value is based on the closing price at the end of the period; where the security is less frequently traded, fair value is based on the price a dealer would pay for the security or similar securities, adjusted for any terms specific to that asset or liability, or by using observable market data points of similar, more liquid securities to imply the price. Market inputs are obtained from well-established and recognized vendors of market data and subjected to tolerance/quality checks.

Assets that are measured using significant other observable inputs are primarily valued by reference to quoted prices of similar assets in active markets, adjusted for any terms specific to that asset. For all other assets for which observable inputs are used, fair value is derived through the use of fair value models, such as a discounted cash flow model or other standard pricing models. There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
