Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXESEffective Tax RateOur effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2021 was an expense of 26.5% as compared to a benefit of 22.2% in the second quarter of 2020 and an expense of 26.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to a benefit of 12.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the tax rate was impacted by a reduction in earnings due to accelerated depreciation charges and additional negative economic impacts caused by the COVID-19 effects. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the tax rate was also impacted by the recognition of a valuation allowance of $13 million related to our U.K. deferred tax assets and a charge of $7 million related to expiring state net operating losses.
