Pension and Postretirement Plan Assets A discussion of the fair value of our Pension and Postretirement Plan assets is included in Note 13. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurement A discussion of the fair value of our investment in equity securities of a privately held oil and gas company, a Level 3 asset, is included in Note 1. Other Fair Value Measurements The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and equivalents and short-term borrowings approximates fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are classified in Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Notes payable consist of commercial paper borrowings and are not traded on an exchange; therefore, they are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments not recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31 (in thousands):
| 2021 | 2020
| Carrying Amount | Fair Value | Carrying Amount | Fair Value
Long-term debt, including current maturities (a) | $ | 4,126,923 |  | $ | 4,570,619 |  | $ | 3,536,536 |  | $ | 4,208,167 |
____________________ (a) Long-term debt is valued based on observable inputs available either directly or indirectly for similar liabilities in active markets and therefore is classified in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Carrying amount of long-term debt is net of deferred financing costs.
