Steel manufacturing
Client AK Steel has a direct business interest in the Department of Energy's newly proposed efficiency standards for electrical distribution transformers.   Certain specific proposed standards could significantly affect the client's sales of grain oriented electrical steels, which is currently utilized for the manufacture of electrical distribution transformers. Client AK Steel sponsors a defined benefit pension plan.  The client desired to affect changes in the method for calculating funding requirements due to the effect of artificially induced low interest rates on funding requirements.  Specifically, the low interest rates supported by the Fed drive pension funding requirements considerably higher, especially over short time spans.  Client AK Steel sought legislative remedies to rectify this situation.  The client supported the pension funding stabilization provisions included in S. 1813 and MAP 21. Client AK Steel considered a cogeneration project to utilize waste gas from an ironmaking furnace to produce electricity and steam.  Various current or proposed rules related to the Clean Air Act represent impediments to the project, specifically the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIr) and New Source Performance Review (NSPS) Subpart KKKK.  Client AK Steel sought specific changes to the aforementioned rules in order to make the $300 million proposed project more viable.
