Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

The fair value of our long-term debt, all of which is fixed-rate debt, is subject to fluctuations resulting primarily from changes in market interest rates. The following table provides the fair value of our long-term debt and the change in fair value based on a 1% increase or decrease in market interest rates at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

(in billions)March 31, 2022December 31, 2021
Fair value$27.7$30.5
Decrease in fair value from a 1% increase in market interest rates2.32.7
Increase in fair value from a 1% decrease in market interest rates2.73.2

Interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Agreement are expected to be based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or a fallback benchmark rate determined based on prevailing market convention, plus a percentage based on the higher of the ratings of our long-term senior unsecured debt from Moody’s and S&P. The applicable percentage based on our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings at March 31, 2022 borrowings under the Credit Agreement was 1.0%. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
