PAA’s fixed-rate senior notes (including current maturities) had a face value of approximately $9.8 billion and $9.3 billion as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We estimated the aggregate fair value of these notes as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 to be approximately $9.7 billion and $9.9 billion, respectively. PAA’s fixed-rate senior notes are traded among institutions, and these trades are routinely published by a reporting service. Our determination of fair value is based on reported trading activity near the end of the reporting period. We estimate that the carrying value of outstanding borrowings under credit facilities and the PAA commercial paper program approximates fair value as interest rates reflect current market rates. The fair value estimates for the PAA senior notes, credit facilities and the PAA commercial paper program are based upon observable market data and are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
