In September 2019, we entered into a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility maturing in November 2021 and terminated the previous $1.25 billion revolving credit facility maturing in November 2020 without penalty. Under the credit facility, we can borrow, issue letters of credit and backstop commercial paper. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at various rate options, including LIBOR plus a margin based on our credit ratings. Based on our credit ratings at December 31, 2019, borrowings would generally bear interest at LIBOR plus 80.5 basis points. The credit facility is composed of commitments from 20 separate highly rated lenders, each committing no more than 10% of the facility. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under our credit facilities.

Under the credit facility we must comply with certain covenants, including a ratio of total debt to total capitalization of no more than 60%. Our ratio of total debt to total capitalization, as those terms are defined in the credit facility, was 28.0% at December 31, 2019. We are providing this ratio as this metric is used by our lenders to monitor our leverage and is also a threshold that could limit our ability to utilize this facility. We were in compliance with our credit facility covenants as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Total cash paid for interest on commercial paper and long-term debt was $193 million, $194 million and $214 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
