The noncurrent liabilities associated with our pension and other postretirement benefit plans are classified as Postretirement benefits and other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we have a noncurrent pension liability of $134.5 million and $141.2 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we have a noncurrent other postretirement benefits liability of $554.2 million and $556.7 million, respectively.

Due to the availability of our pre-funded pension balances (previous contributions in excess of prior required pension contributions), we expect our regulatory pension funding requirements in 2021 to be less than $1 million. We expect our cash payments for other postretirement benefit obligations in 2021, net of GM cost sharing, to be approximately $17 million.
