______________________________________ 

(a)
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), was enacted by the U.S. government. The most significant impact to our financial statements was the reduction of the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%.

(b)
As of December 31, 2018, we completed our assessment of the effects of the Tax Act on our financial statements. In connection with our analysis of the Tax Act, we recorded discrete tax benefits of $3.8 million and $8.1 million, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. The $3.8 million reduction in income tax expense resulted from the remeasurement of deferred income taxes to the new federal statutory rate of 21%, which mostly relates to a $20.0 million discretionary pension contribution made during 2018, for which we received a tax deduction at the 2017 federal income tax rate. The $8.1 million reduction in income tax expense resulted from the remeasurement of deferred income taxes to the new federal statutory rate of 21%.

Net Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities [Table Text Block] The components of our net deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2019 and 2018, are summarized as follows:
