Fair values are measured as the present value of all expected future cash flows based on the LIBOR-based swap yield curve as of the date of the valuation.  These inputs to this calculation are deemed to be Level 2 inputs.  The balance sheet carrying value reflects the Company's credit quality as of September 30, 2021.  The rate used in discounting all prospective cash flows anticipated to be made under this swap reflects a representation of the yield to maturity for 30-year debt on utilities rated A- as of September 30, 2021.  The use of the Company's credit rating resulted in a reduction in the fair value of the swap liability of $29 as of September 30, 2021.  The fair value of the swap reflecting the Company's credit quality as of December 31, 2020 is shown in the table below.
