Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAXES 7. INCOME TAXESIncome tax provisions for interim (quarterly) periods are based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate calculated separately from the effect of significant, infrequent or unusual items. Income tax expense was $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to income tax expense of $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change was primarily driven by higher income before taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the prior year. The Company did not recognize any material discrete tax expenses or benefits in either period.The Company engages in continuous discussions and negotiations with taxing authorities regarding tax matters, and the Company has determined that over the next 12 months it expects to resolve certain tax matters related to U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. As a result, as of March 31, 2023, we estimate that it is reasonably possible that gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $3 million to $5 million in the next 12 months.
