2016 Actions. During 2016, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $242 million for restructuring actions initiated in 2016, consisting of $149 million in cost of sales, $67 million in selling, general and administrative expenses, and $26 million in other expense. The 2016 actions relate to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including workforce reductions, consolidation of field operations, and costs to exit legacy programs.
We are targeting to complete in 2017 and 2018 the majority of the remaining workforce and all facility related cost reduction actions initiated in 2016. No specific plans for significant other actions have been finalized at this time. The following table summarizes the accrual balances and utilization by cost type for the 2016 restructuring actions:
