The components of net periodic benefit costs, included in general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(In thousands)	2014		2013
Service cost	$	456	$	415
Interest cost	407		395
Amortization of net loss	—		205
	$	863	$	1,015

Under the authoritative guidance, the net actuarial loss is not amortized if it is less than 10% of the postretirement obligation. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to amortize its net actuarial loss from accumulated other comprehensive income during 2014.
