Interest Rate Risk Management
We use interest rate swap agreements to manage our interest rate exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of variable and fixed rate debt. These derivatives may be designated as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges depending on the nature of the risk being hedged.
Fair Value Hedges
As of March 31, 2017, pay variable/receive fixed interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $300 and net asset fair value of $3 were designated and accounted for as fair value hedges. The swaps were structured to hedge the fair value of related debt by converting them from fixed rate instruments to variable rate instruments.
The following is a summary of our fair value hedges at March 31, 2017:

Foreign Exchange Risk Management
We are a global company that is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business. As a part of our foreign exchange risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts and purchased option contracts, to hedge the following foreign currency exposures, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities:
 
Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities
Forecasted purchases and sales in foreign currency
At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had outstanding forward exchange and purchased option contracts with gross notional values of $3,125 and $3,149 respectively, with terms of less than 12 months. The associated currency exposures being hedged at March 31, 2017 were materially consistent with our year-end currency exposures, with the exception of our Euro/U.K. Pound Sterling exposure, which decreased by approximately $340, and our U.K. Pound Sterling/Euro exposure, which increased by approximately $290 (currencies hedged - buy/sell). There has not been any material change in our hedging strategy.
Foreign Currency Cash Flow Hedges
We designate a portion of our foreign currency derivative contracts as cash flow hedges of our foreign currency-denominated expenses. The net liability fair value of these contracts were $8 and $20 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 no amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for these designated cash flow hedges and all components of each derivative’s gain (loss) was included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. In addition, no amount was recorded for an underlying exposure that did not occur or was not expected to occur.
At March 31, 2017, a net after-tax loss of $5 was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with our cash flow hedging activity. The entire balance is expected to be reclassified into net income within the next 12 months, providing an offsetting economic impact against the underlying anticipated transactions.
Non-Designated Derivative Instruments Gains (Losses)
Non-designated derivative instruments are primarily instruments used to hedge foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. They are not designated as hedges since there is a natural offset for the re-measurement of the underlying foreign currency-denominated asset or liability.
The following table provides a summary of gains on non-designated derivative instruments:

Net currency gains and losses are included in Other expenses, net and include the mark-to-market adjustments of the derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and the related cost of those derivatives as well as the re-measurement of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, currency losses, net were $3 and $4, respectively.
