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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have a noncurrent pension liability of $117.6 million and $121.3 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have a noncurrent other postretirement benefits liability of $479.3 million and $481.2 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 2022 to be less than $1 million. We expect our cash payments for other postretirement benefit obligations in 2022, net of GM cost sharing, to be approximately $16.5 million.
