During 2013, we offered a voluntary separation incentive program to certain eligible employees to reduce costs and improve our operating efficiency.  Eligible employees, who accepted the program, received enhanced severance and other retiree benefit enhancements.  In connection with the program, we have recorded a charge of $1.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2013.

Liabilities associated with the remaining restructuring and integration costs as of December 31, 2013 relate primarily to employee severance and other retiree benefit enhancements to be paid through 2017 and environmental clean-up costs at our Long Island City, New York location in connection with the closure of our manufacturing operations at the site.
