_________________________

(A)

During the first nine months of 2020, we reclassified $189 million of stranded tax effects out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss and into Accumulated deficit. The stranded tax effects remained a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a result of the remeasurement of our deferred tax assets related to our U.S. pension and OPEB plans through the statement of operations, to the new U.S. federal tax rate of 21% through our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result, stranded tax effects within Accumulated other comprehensive loss which would not be realized at the established historical tax rates have now been adjusted through equity.

The following table presents the amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss and the affected line item in our Consolidated Statements of Operations:
