The outstanding balance of deferred warranty income in the table above is considered a "contract liability," and represents a performance obligation of the Company that we satisfy over the term of the arrangement but for which we have been paid in full at the time the warranty was sold. We expect to recognize $7.8 million of the outstanding contract liability in fiscal 2022, and the remaining balance thereafter. Self-Insurance The following table reflects the total accrued self-insurance liability, comprised of workers' compensation and health insurance related claims, at the dates indicated:
(in thousands) | October 2, 2021 |  | October 3, 2020
Current portion | $ | 2,781 |  |  | $ | 2,993 |
Long-term portion | 1,732 |  |  | 1,962 |
Total accrued self-insurance | $ | 4,513 |  |  | $ | 4,955 |
The current and long-term portions of the accrued self-insurance liability are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Shipping and Handling Shipping and handling revenues recognized were $13.4 million, $16.9 million and $19.4 million for fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively. The related cost of goods sold were $11.7 million, $14.5 million and $17.0 million for fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively. Derivative Instruments We are charged variable rates of interest on our indebtedness outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement (defined in Note 8) which exposes us to fluctuations in interest rates. On October 24, 2018, the Company entered into a four year interest rate collar with a $150.0 million notional value with an effective date of November 30, 2018. The collar was entered into in order to partially mitigate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our variable rate debt. The collar establishes a range where we will pay the counterparty if the three month LIBOR rate falls below the established floor rate of 1.5%, and the counterparty will pay us if the three month LIBOR rate exceeds the ceiling rate of 3.3%. The collar settles quarterly through the termination date of September 30, 2022. No payments or receipts are exchanged on the interest rate collar contracts unless interest rates rise above or fall below the contracted ceiling or floor rates. Throughout the fiscal year ended October 2, 2021, the three month LIBOR rate fell below the established floor, which required us to make $2.0 million in total cash payments to the counterparty. Changes in the interest rate collar fair value are recorded in interest expense as the collar does not qualify for hedge accounting. At October 2, 2021, the fair value of the interest rate collar contract was $2.0 million and is included in "other current liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the interest rate collar is a Level 2 fair value measurement, based on quoted prices of similar items in active markets.
