The risks associated with certain of our accrued insurance claims and expenses have been reinsured, and the related IBNR receivables are recognized as noncurrent assets to the extent the related liability is classified as a noncurrent liability. See Note 7. Our reserve for uncertain tax positions is discussed in Note 12.

Other noncurrent liabilities include certain asset retirement obligations, including amounts related to the closure and post-closure obligations associated with our Waste Management Segment's facility in West Texas. We are required to provide certain financial assurance to the Texas government agencies with respect to the decommissioning obligations related to such facility, as more fully described in Note 17. Certain of our affiliates have provided or assisted us in providing such financial assurance, as discussed in Note 16.
