The total net periodic benefit cost for other postretirement employee benefit plans was less than $1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, including net credits recognized into other comprehensive income ("OCI") of $1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The total net periodic benefit cost for other postretirement employee benefit plans was less than $1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, including net credits recognized in OCI of less than $1 million and $1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

We contributed $9 million and $12 million to our defined benefit plans during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Additional contributions ranging between approximately $8 million and $14 million are expected during the remainder of 2019.
