As of September 30, 2017, approximately 155 of the 800 employees associated with 2017 restructuring programs, approximately 1,200 of the 1,750 employees (previously 1,800) associated with 2016 restructuring programs (with planned departures in 2017), and approximately 1,120 of the 1,220 employees (previously 1,240) associated with the 2015 restructuring programs were separated. The total number of employees associated with both the 2016 and 2015 restructuring programs was updated to reflect employees who, initially identified for separation, accepted other positions within Arconic, as well as natural attrition. Most of the remaining separations for the 2017 restructuring programs are expected to be completed in 2017 and 2018. All of the remaining separations for the 2016 and 2015 restructuring programs are expected to be completed by the end of 2017. In the 2017 third quarter and nine-month period, cash payments of $11 and $13, respectively, were made against layoff reserves related to 2017 restructuring programs, cash payments of $3 and $23, respectively, were made against layoff reserves related to 2016 restructuring programs, and cash payments of $1 and $5, respectively, were made against the layoff reserves related to 2015 restructuring programs. Activity and reserve balances for restructuring charges were as follows:

* | Other includes reversals of previously recorded restructuring charges and the effects of foreign currency translation. In 2017, Other for layoff costs includes the reclassification of a stock awards reversal of $13. In 2016, Other for other exit costs also included reclassifications of $8 in asset retirement, $2 in environmental obligations and $4 in legal obligations as these liabilities were included in Arconic’s separate reserves for asset retirement obligations, environmental remediation and legal costs.
The remaining reserves are expected to be paid in cash during the remainder of 2017, except for approximately $15 to $20, which is expected to be paid within the next year for layoffs. As part of its ongoing restructuring in Brazil, the Company anticipates recognizing a restructuring-related charge of approximately $30 - $50 in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to its extrusions business which is part of the Transportation and Construction Solutions segment. The charge relates to the noncash impairment of the net book value of the business.
