During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we made contributions and payments of $3.6 million related to our pension plans and $0.6 million related to our OPEB plans. We expect to make contributions and payments of $8.4 million related to our pension plans and $6.1 million related to our OPEB plans during the remainder of 2019, dependent upon various factors affecting us, including our liquidity position and the effects of the new Tax Legislation.
