INCOME TAXES [Abstract]  
INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXESThe Company's effective income tax rate was 31.5% and 31.6% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 27.3% and 30.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were higher than the applicable statutory income tax rate of 21% as a result of certain foreign earnings of the Company being subject to higher local statutory income tax rates and the application of the U.S. global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") tax provision to the Company. The GILTI provision subjects the Company's current foreign earnings to U.S. taxation which creates additional U.S. tax expense.
