Total tax effect of the change in accumulated gains and losses from derivative instruments designated and qualifying as the effective portion of cash flow hedges. The change includes an entity's share of an equity investee's increase or decrease in deferred hedging gains or losses. While for technical reasons this element has no balance attribute, the default assumption is a credit balance consistent with its label.

The tax effect of the amount of the change in the additional minimum pension liability not yet recognized pursuant to FAS 87 as a net periodic pension cost. If the additional pension liability required to be recognized exceeds the unrecognized prior service costs, then the excess (which is the net loss not yet recognized as net periodic pension cost) is to be recorded as a separate component in other comprehensive income, before adjusting for tax effects. In a subsequent measurement, the elimination or adjustment to the amount of the minimum pension liability recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income is included in this line. Eliminated upon adoption of FAS 158.
