The Company recorded $(7) million and $15 million of restructuring costs for the quarters ended October 3, 2014 and September 27, 2013, respectively. For the six months ended October 3, 2014 and September 27, 2013, the Company recorded $3 million and $22 million, respectively. The costs recorded during the quarter and six months ended October 3, 2014 were in connection with actions under the Fiscal 2015 Plan, Fiscal 2013 Plan and Fiscal 2012 Plan, as described below. The costs recorded during the quarter and six months ended September 27, 2013 were in connection with actions under both the Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012 plans, as described below.

Fiscal 2015 Plan

In June 2014, the Company initiated restructuring actions (the Fiscal 2015 Plan) across its business segments. The objectives of the Fiscal 2015 Plan are to further reduce headcount in order to align resources to support business needs. Management expects that further actions will be taken during fiscal 2015, which could result in additional charges.

The composition of the restructuring liability for the Fiscal 2015 Plan as of October 3, 2014 is as follows:
(Amounts in millions)
 
Restructuring liability as of March 28, 2014
 
Costs expensed in fiscal 2015

Charges primarily consist of pension benefit augmentations and are recorded as a pension liability.

Fiscal 2013 Plan

In September 2012, the Company initiated restructuring actions (the Fiscal 2013 Plan) across its business segments. The objectives of the Fiscal 2013 Plan were to (i) further increase the use of lower cost off-shore resources, (ii) reduce headcount in order to align resources to support business needs, including the assessment of management span of control and layers, and (iii) optimize utilization of facilities. Actions under the Fiscal 2013 Plan commenced in September 2012 and continued through the end of fiscal 2014. The expense reduction in the first six months of fiscal 2015 was due to cancellation of a portion of a restructuring plan in a region, as well as revisions on plans that were executed at lower than expected costs.

The composition of the restructuring liability for the Fiscal 2013 Plan as of October 3, 2014 is as follows:
(Amounts in millions)
 
Restructuring liability as of March 28, 2014
 
Costs expensed in fiscal 2015
