What was lobbied
3 issue areas, each in the filer's own words, with who lobbied on it and where.
Retirement RET
Client AK Steel sponsors a defined benefit pension plan. The client desires to see changes in funding calculations to reduce the effect of artificially induced low interest rates, which subsequently drive pension funding requirements artificially high over short time spans. The client supports the pension funding stabilization provisions included in S.1813 (Highway Bill), and seeks to see similar provisions enacted into law.

Environment/Superfund ENV
Client AK Steel desires to proceed with a cogeneration project which would utilize waste blast furnace gas from an ironmaking furnace to produce electricity and steam. Various current or proposed rules related to the Clean Air Act represent impediments to this project. In particular, the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and New Source Performance Review (NSPS) Subpart KKKK, contain language which make proceeding with the project, which has strong environmental and energy policy attributes, problematic.

Energy/Nuclear ENG

At certain efficiency standards, the client's sale of grain oriented electrical steels could be adversely affected, as the product is currently used in the manufacture of electrical distribution transformers.
