Ending balance as of September 30, | $58 | $10 |  | $13 | $44 |
(a)Unbilled contract revenue represents accumulated incurred costs and earned profits on contracts (revenue arrangements), which have been recorded as revenue, but have not yet been billed to customers, and which represent contract assets as defined in Topic 606. Substantially all accrued unbilled contract revenue is expected to be collected within one year. Unbilled contract revenue arises from the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition. Unbilled contract revenue from fixed-price type contracts is converted to billed receivables when amounts are invoiced to customers according to contractual billing terms, which generally occur when deliveries or other performance milestones are completed. (b)Unearned revenue represents a liability for billings to customers in excess of earned revenue, which are contract liabilities as defined in Topic 606. (c)Additions for unbilled contract revenue and subtractions for unearned revenue represent additional revenue earned. Additions for unearned revenue and subtractions for unbilled contract revenue represent billings. Activity also includes appropriate balance sheet classification for the period. (d)Of the subtractions from unearned revenue, $31 million and $4 million were included in the balances as of January 1, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the remaining fixed performance obligations of the Clean Energy Businesses under contracts with customers for energy services is $187 million, of which $148 million will be recognized within the next two years, and the remaining $39 million will be recognized pursuant to long-term service and maintenance agreements. In March 2020, the Utilities began suspending new late payment charges and certain other fees for all customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the estimated late payment charges and fees that were not billed by Con Edison and CECONY were approximately $12 million and $11 million lower than the amounts that were approved to be collected pursuant to the Utilities’ rate plans, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the estimated late payment charges and fees that were not billed by Con Edison and CECONY were approximately $49 million and $46 million lower than the amounts that were approved to be collected pursuant to the Utilities’ rate plans, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the estimated late payment charges and fees that were not billed by Con Edison and CECONY were approximately $18 million and $17 million lower than the amounts that were approved to be collected pursuant to the Utilities’ rate plans, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the estimated late payment charges and fees that were not billed by Con Edison and CECONY were approximately $38 million and $36 million lower than the amounts that were approved to be collected pursuant to the Utilities’ rate plans, respectively. The Utilities also began providing payment extensions for all customers that were scheduled to be disconnected prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2021, CECONY filed a petition with the NYSPSC to timely establish a surcharge recovery mechanism for $52 million of late payment charges and fees, offset for related savings, for the year ended December 31, 2020 to begin in September 2021 and end in December 2022. The petition also requests a surcharge recovery or surcredit mechanism for any fee deferrals for 2021 and 2022 starting in January of the subsequent year over a twelve-month period, respectively. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B.
