Net revisions of $16 million were recorded in the Company's reportable operating segments and Corporate & Other as follows: $13 million in USCS, $7 million in ICS, $(5) million in GCS, $4 million in GNMS and $(3) million in Corporate & Other.
The majority of cash payments related to the remaining restructuring liabilities are expected to be completed in 2014, and to a lesser extent certain contractual long-term severance arrangements and lease obligations are expected to be completed in 2015 and 2019, respectively.

Restructuring charges, by reportable segment

The following table summarizes the Company's restructuring charges, net of revisions, by reportable operating segment and Corporate & Other for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the cumulative amounts relating to the restructuring programs that were in progress during 2012 and initiated at various dates between 2009 and 2012.

Corporate & Other includes certain severance and other charges of $166 million related to Company-wide support functions which were not allocated to the Company's reportable operating segments, as these were corporate initiatives, which is consistent with how such charges were reported internally.
As of December 31, 2012, the total expenses to be incurred for previously approved restructuring activities that were in progress are not expected to be materially different than the cumulative expenses incurred to date for these programs.
