Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXESOur effective tax rate was 23 percent and 27 percent for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in the rate was primarily due to a $5 million income tax expense from the elimination of a disproportionate tax effect from accumulated other comprehensive income, relating to our interest rate swap, following the retirement of the related debt in March 2021 and a $5 million increase to income tax expense from a loss on the termination of our qualified domestic defined-benefit pension plans in 2021 providing no tax benefit in certain jurisdictions.
