PCA makes pension plan contributions that are sufficient to fund its actuarially determined costs, generally equal to the minimum amounts required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). From time to time, PCA may make additional discretionary contributions based on the funded status of the plans, tax deductibility, income from operations, and other factors. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 payments to our nonqualified pension plans were insignificant. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we made contributions of $2.2 million and $5.9 million, respectively, to our qualified pension plans. We made a contribution of $3.7 million to our qualified plans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. We expect to contribute at least the estimated required minimum contributions to our qualified plans of approximately $8.0 million in 2017.
