RETIREMENT BENEFITS | 12 Months Ended
--- | ---
Dec. 31, 2011
RETIREMENT BENEFITS | NOTE 11. RETIREMENT BENEFITS We sponsor a number of defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans which cover substantially all U.S. employees, other than union employees covered by multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under collective bargaining agreements. Pension benefits are provided based on either a career average, final pay or years of service formula. With respect to certain hourly employees, pension benefits are provided based on stated amounts for each year of service. Our U.S. salaried pension plans are closed to new employees. We also sponsor other postretirement benefits plans, including unfunded defined benefit health care and life insurance plans, that provide postretirement benefits to certain employees. The plans are contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually, and contain cost sharing features including deductibles and coinsurance. Retiree health care benefits are paid as covered expenses are incurred. The changes in benefit obligations and plan assets as well as the funded status of our retirement plans at December 31 are as follows:

The accumulated benefit obligation for all pension benefit plans at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $565.3 million and $510.5 million, respectively. For pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets, the projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets were $520.7 million, $495.5 million and $429.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011 and $208.5 million, $204.0 million and $165.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010. The benefits expected to be paid from our pension and other postretirement benefit plans, which reflect future years of services and the Medicare subsidy expected to be received, are as follows (dollars in thousands):
|  | Pension Benefits |  |  | Other Postretirement Benefits |
2012 |  | $ | 27,363 |  |  | $ | 4,311 |
2013 |  |  | 28,769 |  |  |  | 4,380 |
2014 |  |  | 30,096 |  |  |  | 4,157 |

|  | $ | 330,911 |  |  | $ | 37,986 |
Our principal domestic pension and other postretirement benefit plans used the following weighted average actuarial assumptions to determine the benefit obligations at December 31:
|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
Discount rate |  |  | 4.6 | % |  |  | 5.4 | %
Expected return on plan assets |  |  | 8.5 | % |  |  | 8.5 | %
Rate of compensation increase |  |  | 3.1 | % |  |  | 3.2 | %
Health care cost trend rate: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Assumed for next year |  |  | 7.8 | % |  |  | 8.0 | %
Ultimate rate |  |  | 5.0 | % |  |  | 4.5 | %
Year that the ultimate rate is reached |  |  | 2045 |  |  |  | 2027 |
Our expected return on plan assets is determined by current and expected asset allocation of plan assets, estimates of future long-term returns on those types of plan assets and historical long-term investment performance. Our international pension benefit plans used a discount rate of 4.9 percent and 5.5 percent as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and a rate of compensation increase of 3.5 percent to determine the benefit obligation at December 31, 2011 and 2010. The projected benefit obligation for these plans was $42.0 million and $38.1 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our international pension benefit plans are not funded. The components of the net periodic benefit cost for each of the years ended December 31 are as follows:
|  | Pension Benefits |  |  | Other Postretirement Benefits |
|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |  |  | 2009 |  |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |  |  | 2009 |

Our principal domestic pension and other postretirement benefit plans used the following weighted average actuarial assumptions to determine net periodic benefit cost for the years ended December 31:
|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |  |  | 2009 |
Discount rate |  |  | 5.4 | % |  |  | 5.9 | % |  |  | 6.3 | %

Rate of compensation increase |  |  | 3.2 | % |  |  | 3.4 | % |  |  | 3.4 | %
Health care cost trend rate |  |  | 8.0 | % |  |  | 8.0 | % |  |  | 7.9 | %
Our international pension benefit plans used a discount rate of 5.5 percent, 5.9 percent and 5.9 percent for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our international pension benefit plans used a rate of compensation increase of 3.5 percent for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. The assumed health care cost trend rates affect the amounts reported for our health care plans. A one percentage point change in the assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:
|  | 1-Percentage Point Increase |  |  | 1-Percentage Point Decrease |
|  | (Dollars in thousands) |
Effect on service and interest cost |  | $ | 138 |  |  | $ | (118 | )
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation |  |  | 1,740 |  |  |  | (1,524 | )
MULTIEMPLOYER PENSION PLANS We participate in four multiemployer pension plans which provide defined benefits to certain of our union employees. The aggregate amount contributed to these plans and charged to pension cost in 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $6.0 million, $6.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The risks of participating in multiemployer plans are different from the risks of single-employer plans in the following respects:
| a) | Assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.
| b) | If a participating employer ceases to contribute to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.
| c) | If we cease to have an obligation to contribute to the multiemployer plan in which we had been a contributing employer, we may be required to pay to the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan and on our historical participation in the plan prior to the cessation of our obligation to contribute. This amount is referred to as a withdrawal liability.
Based on the latest information available, we participate in two multiemployer plans with a funded status less than 65 percent. Further information on these multiemployer plans for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

The “EIN/Pension Plan Number” column provides the Employer Identification Number and the three digit plan number assigned to a plan by the Internal Revenue Service. The most recent Pension Protection Act Zone Status available for 2011 and 2010 is for plan years that ended in each of those years. The zone status is based on information provided to us and other participating employers by each plan and is certified by the plan’s actuary. A plan in the “red” zone has been determined to be in “critical status,” based on criteria established under the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”), and is generally less than 65 percent funded. The “FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented” column indicates whether a rehabilitation plan, as required under the Code to be adopted by plans in the “red” zone, is pending or has been implemented as of the end of the 2011 plan year. The “Surcharge Imposed” column indicates whether our contribution rate for 2011 included an amount in addition to the contribution rate specified in the applicable collective bargaining agreement, as imposed by a plan in “critical status” in accordance with the requirements of the Code. The last column lists the expiration dates of the collective bargaining agreements under which we contribute to the plans. Our contributions to each of these respective plans were less than five percent of total contributions made by all employers to each of these respective plans, as reported by these plans for the year ended December 31, 2010, the most recent plan year available. We expect our contributions for the year ended December 31, 2012 to these plans to be at the same level as the year ended December 31, 2011. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS We also sponsor defined contribution plans covering substantially all employees. Our contributions to these plans are based upon employee contributions and operating profitability. Contributions charged to expense for these plans for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $8.0 million, $8.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively. PLAN ASSETS INVESTMENT STRATEGY Our investment strategy is based on an expectation that equity securities will outperform debt securities over the long term. Accordingly, the composition of our plan assets is broadly characterized as a 58 percent/42 percent allocation between equity and debt securities. This strategy utilizes indexed U.S. equity securities (which constitutes approximately 85 percent of equity securities), with a lesser allocation to indexed international equity securities, and indexed investment grade U.S. debt securities. We attempt to mitigate investment risk by regularly rebalancing between equity and debt securities as contributions and benefit payments are made. The weighted average asset allocation for our pension plans at December 31, 2011 and 2010 and target allocation for 2011 was as follows:
|  | Target |  |  | Actual Allocation |
|  | Allocation |  |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
Equity securities—U.S. |  |  | 49% |  |  |  | 47% |  |  |  | 52% |
Equity securities—International |  |  | 9% |  |  |  | 10% |  |  |  | 10% |
Debt securities |  |  | 42% |  |  |  | 42% |  |  |  | 37% |
Cash and cash equivalents |  |  | 0% |  |  |  | 1% |  |  |  | 1% |
|  |  | 100% |  |  |  | 100% |  |  |  | 100% |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Our plan assets are primarily invested in commingled funds holding equity and debt securities, which are valued using the Net Asset Value, or NAV, provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. Commingled funds are classified within Level 2 (as described in Note 9) of the fair value hierarchy because the NAV’s are not publicly available. Plan excess cash balances are invested in short term investment funds which include investments in cash, bank notes, corporate notes, government bills and various short-term debt instruments. These typically are commingled funds valued using one dollar for the NAV. These short term funds are also classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of our plan assets by asset category consisted of the following at December 31:
|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
|  | (Dollars in thousands) |
Equity securities—U.S. |  | $ | 239,076 |  |  | $ | 256,524 |
Equity securities—International |  |  | 50,599 |  |  |  | 51,715 |
Debt securities |  |  | 216,156 |  |  |  | 182,519 |
Cash and cash equivalents |  |  | 4,046 |  |  |  | 3,423 |
|  | $ | 509,877 |  |  | $ | 494,181 |
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK As of December 31, 2011, approximately 99 percent of plan assets were under management by a single investment management company in six individual commingled equity and debt index funds. Of these six funds, four funds held assets individually in excess of ten percent of our total plan assets. MINIMUM REQUIRED CONTRIBUTIONS Based on current legislation, there are no significant minimum required contributions to our pension benefit plans in 2012. In order to reduce our unfunded pension liability, we have historically made contributions in excess of the ERISA minimum requirements that are tax deductible.
