Defined benefit pension plans in the United States represent 87% of the benefit obligation and 88% of the fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2011. 

Certain of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans were overfunded as of December 31, 2011. As a result, $4.4 million and $6.9 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are included in other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

The current portion of accrued pension cost, which is included in salaries, wages and benefits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $6.1 million and $5.7 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In 2011, the current portion of accrued pension cost relates to unfunded plans and represents the actuarial present value of expected payments related to the plans to be made over the next 12 months.
