For 2019, significant components of the Pension Plans actuarial loss that changed the benefit obligation were mainly related to updates in discount and mortality rates. For OPEB Plans significant components of the actuarial loss that change the benefit obligation were mainly related to updates in discount and mortality rates partially offset by update in healthcare election rates and expected annual healthcare costs. For 2018, significant components of the Pension Plans actuarial gains that change the benefit obligation were mostly related to updates in discount rate partially offset by the impact of the 2018 Voluntary Retirement Program. For OPEB Plans significant components of the actuarial gain that change the benefit obligation were mainly related to updates in discount rate and expected annual healthcare costs.
