Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES In the first quarter of 2013, we recorded tax expense of $19 million on income before income taxes of $50 million. Income tax expense was favorably impacted by $12 million due primarily to recently enacted tax law changes. In the first quarter of 2012, we recorded tax expense of $48 million on income before income taxes of $56 million. Income tax expense was unfavorably impacted by $3 million due primarily to the settlement of prior tax years. We record taxes based on overall estimated annual effective tax rates. In addition to the discrete items noted above, the difference between our effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate was primarily attributable to continuing to maintain a full valuation allowance against our net Federal, State and certain foreign jurisdictions' deferred tax assets. At January 1, 2013, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $82 million that if recognized, would have a favorable impact on our tax expense of $70 million. We had accrued interest of $20 million as of January 1, 2013. If not favorably settled, $24 million of the unrecognized tax benefits and all of the accrued interest would require the use of our cash. It is reasonably possible that our total amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change during the next 12 months. However, we do not expect these changes to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations. Generally, years from 2006 onward are still open to examination by foreign taxing authorities, including in Germany. In the United States, we are open to examination for 2012.
