(2) We recognize our Consolidated Balance Sheets underfunded and overfunded status of our various defined benefit postretirement plans, measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation. (3) We determined that for certain rate-regulated subsidiaries the future recovery of pension and other postretirement benefits costs is probable. These rate-regulated subsidiaries recorded regulatory assets and liabilities of $798.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2018, and $733.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2017 that would otherwise have been recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss.
