*The fair values for the common/collective trusts, stable value fund, and common stock fund are provided above to permit the reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the statements of assets available for benefits. The common/collective trusts, stable value fund, and common stock fund are measured using the net asset value per unit as a practical expedient and therefore are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.
