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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have a noncurrent pension liability of $72.7 million and $74.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have a noncurrent other postretirement benefits liability of $268.4 million and $268.9 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 2024 to be less than $1.0 million. We expect our cash payments for other postretirement benefit obligations in 2024, net of GM cost sharing, to be approximately $11.0 million.
