During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we made contributions and payments of $0.8 million related to our pension plans and $0.7 million related to our OPEB plans. We do not expect to make any significant contributions or payments related to our pension and OPEB plans during the remainder of 2021. This is dependent upon various factors affecting us, including our liquidity position and possible tax law changes.
