Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
LOCATION AND AMOUNTS OF DERIVATIVE FAIR VALUES ON THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
The balance sheet classifications of derivatives recorded at fair value are shown in the following table. The notional amount of derivative contracts represents the basis upon which pay or receive amounts are calculated and are presented in the table to quantify the volume of the Company's derivative activities. Notional amounts are not reflective of credit risk.

None of the Company's derivative instruments are designated as hedges under current accounting guidance.
