| December 31,
| 2024 |  | 2023
| (In millions)
Current regulatory assets | $ | 25 |  |  | $ | 26 |
Non-current regulatory assets | 231 |  |  | 214 |

Total regulatory liabilities(b) | $ | 232 |  |  | $ | 233 |
(a)Regulatory assets as of December 31, 2024 include (i) $90 million of unamortized losses on disposal of assets; (ii) $41 million income tax gross up on equity AFUDC; and (iii) $125 million of other assets, including amounts related to fuel tracker arrangements. Approximately $162 million of the regulatory assets, with a weighted average remaining recovery period of 8 years, are recoverable without earning a return, including the income tax gross up on equity AFUDC for which there is an offsetting deferred income tax balance for FERC rate base purposes; therefore, it does not earn a return. (b)Regulatory liabilities as of December 31, 2024 are comprised of customer prepayments to be credited to shippers or other over-collections that are expected to be returned to shippers or netted against under-collections over time. Approximately $118 million of the $197 million classified as non-current is expected to be credited to shippers over a remaining weighted average period of 11 years, while the remaining $79 million is not subject to a defined period.
