Effective January 2017, the Central Clearing Party (CCP) changed the legal characterization of variation margin payments for centrally cleared derivatives to be settlement payments, as opposed to collateral. Accordingly, the amounts d isclosed for 2017 related to centrally cleared derivatives are based on gross assets of $11 million and liabilities of $8 7 million net of variation margin of $11 million and $79 million, respectively. The Company also maintained several bilateral interest rate contracts tha t are not subject to the CCP’s rule change and amounts related to such contracts are shown gross of any collateral exchanged. Includes foreign currency derivatives embedded in certain operating agreements. Represents the offsetting of the fair value of bi lateral interest rate contracts and certain foreign exchange contracts with the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral. The Company held no non-cash collateral as of September 30, 2017. As of December 31, 2016, t he Comp any received non-cash collateral from a counterparty in the form of security interests in U.S. Treasury securities, with a fair value of $18 million, none of which was sold or repledged. Such non-cash collateral economically reduced the Compa ny’s risk exposure to $537 million as of December 31, 2016, but did not reduce the net exposure on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, the Company posted $152 million and $169 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, resp ectively, as initial margin on its centrally cleared interest rate swaps; such amounts are recorded within Other receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not netted against the derivative balances. Represents the amount of netting of derivati ve assets and derivative liabilities executed with the same counterparty under an enforceable master netting arrangement. The Company has no individually significant derivative counterparties and therefore, no significant risk exposure to any single deriva tive counterparty. The total net derivative assets and net derivative liabilities are presented within Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
