Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies The year-end Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited statements but does not include all disclosures required for complete financial statements by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The other information in these condensed financial statements is unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods covered, including assessment of certain accounting matters using all available information such as consideration of forecasted financial information in context with other information reasonably available to us. However, our future assessment of our current expectations, including consideration of the unknown future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, could result in material impacts to our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. These condensed financial statements, including notes, have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Additional information is contained in the United States Steel Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which should be read in conjunction with these condensed financial statements. Asset Impairments In the second quarter 2022, the Company recognized charges of approximately $151 million for the write-off of the blast furnaces and related fixed assets for the permanent idling of the iron making process at the Company's Great Lakes Works facility, which had been idled on an indefinite basis during 2020. The coil finishing process at Great Lakes Works continues to operate and remains a component of the Company's operating plans. In May 2019, U. S. Steel announced that it planned to construct a new endless casting and rolling facility at its Edgar Thomson Plant in Braddock, Pennsylvania, and a cogeneration facility at its Clairton Plant in Clairton, Pennsylvania, both part of the Company's Mon Valley Works. The Company purchased certain equipment for this project before delaying groundbreaking in March 2020 in response to COVID-19. In April 2021, the Company determined not to pursue this project, re-evaluated the use of the already purchased equipment, and subsequently transferred suitable equipment to the Mini Mill segment to be used on the new three-million-ton mini mill flat-rolled facility under construction in Osceola, Arkansas (BR2). Total impairments of $56 million were recognized for this project in 2021, $28 million of which was recognized during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Standards | New Accounting Standards In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2021-08). ASU 2021-08 requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 is effective for public companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption of all amendments in the same period permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2021-08 but does not believe it will have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 also requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments and amends certain guidance in ASC 260 on the computation of earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The update requires entities to use the If-Converted Method for calculating diluted earnings per share, retiring the previous alternative calculation of the Treasury Stock Method for calculating diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments. U. S. Steel has adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective implementation method as of January 1, 2022. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated January 1, 2022, balance sheet for the adoption of ASU 2020-06 was as follows: (in millions) Balance as of December 31, 2021 Adjustments due to ASU 2020-06 Balance as of January 1, 2022 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Assets Deferred income tax benefits 32 4 36 Liabilities Long-term debt, less unamortized discount and debt issuance costs 3,863 74 3,937 Deferred income tax liabilities 122 (15) 107 Equity Additional paid-in capital 5,199 (78) 5,121 Retained Earnings 3,534 22 3,556 In November 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance (ASU 2021-10). ASU 2021-10 provides expanded annual disclosure requirements for business entities that account for a transaction with a government by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. U. S. Steel adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Acquisition | 5. Acquisitions and Dispositions Big River Steel Acquisition On January 15, 2021, U. S. Steel purchased the remaining equity interest in Big River Steel for approximately $625 million in cash net of $36 million and $62 million in cash and restricted cash received, respectively, and the assumption of liabilities of approximately $50 million. There were acquisition related costs of approximately $9 million recorded in 2021. Prior to the closing of the acquisition on January 15, 2021, U. S. Steel accounted for its 49.9% equity interest in Big River Steel under the equity method. As a result of the acquisition, the Company adjusted the carrying amount of its previously held equity investment to its fair value of $770 million which resulted in a gain of approximately $111 million. The gain was recorded in gain on equity investee transactions in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The following unaudited pro forma information for U. S. Steel includes the results of the Big River Steel acquisition as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma information is based on historical information and is adjusted for amortization of intangible asset, property, plant and equipment and debt fair value step-ups. The pro forma information does not include any anticipated cost savings or other effects of the integration of Big River Steel. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the actual results that would have occurred, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results of operations. Six Months Ended June 30, (in millions) 2021 Net sales $ 8,761 Net earnings (loss) $ 1,033 Transtar Disposition On July 28, 2021, U. S.

The Company received net cash proceeds of $627 million, subject to certain customary adjustments as set forth in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, and recognized a pretax gain of approximately $506 million in 2021. In connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company entered into certain ancillary agreements including a railway services agreement, providing for continued rail services for its Gary and Mon Valley Works facilities, and a transition services agreement. Because Transtar does not represent a significant component of U. S. Steel's business and does not constitute a reportable business segment, its results through the date of disposition are reported in the Other category. See Note 4 for further details.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue | 6. Revenue Revenue is generated primarily from contracts to produce, ship and deliver steel products, and to a lesser extent, raw materials sales such as iron ore pellets and coke by-products and real estate sales. Generally, U. S. Steel’s performance obligations are satisfied and revenue is recognized when title transfers to our customer for product shipped or services are provided. Revenues are recorded net of any sales incentives. Shipping and other transportation costs charged to customers are treated as fulfillment activities and are recorded in both revenue and cost of sales at the time control is transferred to the customer. Costs related to obtaining sales contracts are incidental and are expensed when incurred. Because customers are invoiced at the time title transfers and U. S. Steel’s right to consideration is unconditional at that time, U. S. Steel does not maintain contract asset balances. Additionally, U. S. Steel does not maintain contract liability balances, as performance obligations are satisfied prior to customer payment for product. U. S. Steel offers industry standard payment terms. The following tables disaggregate our revenue by product for each of the reportable business segments for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively: Net Sales by Product (In millions): Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Flat-Rolled Mini Mill USSE Tubular Other Total Semi-finished $ 80 $ — $ 62 $ — $ — $ 142 Hot-rolled sheets 710 507 636 — — 1,853 Cold-rolled sheets 1,108 123 123 — — 1,354 Coated sheets 1,364 206 456 — — 2,026 Tubular products — — 21 379 — 400 All Other (a) 462 2 44 2 5 515 Total $ 3,724 $ 838 $ 1,342 $ 381 $ 5 $ 6,290 (a) Consists primarily of sales of raw materials and coke making by-products.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans | 11. Stock-Based Compensation Plans U. S. Steel has outstanding stock-based compensation awards that were granted by the Compensation & Organization Committee of the Board of Directors, or its designee, under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (2005 Plan) and the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended and restated (Omnibus Plan). The Company's stockholders approved the Omnibus Plan and authorized the Company to issue up to 32,700,000 shares of U. S. Steel common stock under the Omnibus Plan. While the awards that were previously granted under the 2005 Plan remain outstanding, all future awards will be granted under the Omnibus Plan. As of June 30, 2022, there were 9,310,460 shares available for future grants under the Omnibus Plan. Recent grants of stock-based compensation consist of restricted stock units, total stockholder return (TSR) performance awards and return on capital employed (ROCE) performance awards. Shares of common stock under the Omnibus Plan are issued from authorized, but unissued stock. The following table is a summary of the awards made under the Omnibus Plan during the first six months of 2022 and 2021. 2022 2021 Grant Details Shares (a) Fair Value (b) Shares (a) Fair Value (b) Restricted Stock Units 1,165,130 $ 24.28 1,492,880 $ 18.30 Performance Awards (c) TSR 225,030 $ 28.53 306,930 $ 19.46 ROCE (d) 396,280 $ 23.60 485,900 $ 17.92 (a) The share amounts shown in this table do not reflect an adjustment for estimated forfeitures. (b) Represents the per share weighted average for all grants during the period. (c) The number of performance awards shown represents the target share grant of the award. (d) A portion of ROCE awards granted in 2022 and 2021 are not shown in the table because they were granted in cash. U. S. Steel recognized pretax stock-based compensation expense in the amount of $16 million and $15 million in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $32 million and $26 million in the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, total future compensation expense related to nonvested stock-based compensation arrangements was $72 million, and the weighted average period over which this expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 21 months. Stock Options Compensation expense for stock options is recorded over the vesting period based on the fair value on the date of grant, as calculated by U. S. Steel using the Black-Scholes model and the assumptions listed below. Awards generally vest ratably over a three The expected annual dividends per share are based on the latest annualized dividend rate at the date of grant; the expected life in years is determined primarily from historical stock option exercise data; the expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of U. S. Steel stock; and the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury strip rate for the expected life of the option. The 171,000 performance-based stock options granted in December 2021 do not become vested and exercisable until the Company's 20-trading day average closing stock price meets or exceeds the following stock price hurdles during the seven 20-trading day Average Closing Stock Price Achievement During 7-Year Period Beginning on Grant Date (a) Percentage of Performance-Based Stock Options Exercisable $ 35.00 33.33 % $ 45.00 33.33 % $ 55.00 33.34 % (a) The $35.00 tranche vested in April 2022. Stock Awards Restricted stock units awarded as part of annual grants generally vest ratably over three years. Their fair value is the average market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock units granted in connection with new-hire or retention grants generally cliff vest three years from the date of the grant. TSR performance awards may vest at varying levels at the end of a three-year performance period if U. S. Steel's total stockholder return compared to the total stockholder return of a peer group of companies meets specified performance criteria with each year in the three-year performance period weighted at 20 percent and the full three-year period weighted at 40 percent. TSR performance awards can vest at between zero and 200 percent of the target award. The fair value of the TSR performance awards is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. ROCE performance awards may vest at the end of a three-year performance period contingent upon meeting the specified ROCE performance metric. For the 2022 ROCE performance awards, each year in the three-year performance period is weighted at 20 percent and the full three-year period is weighted at 40 percent of the total award. ROCE performance awards can vest between zero and 200 percent of the target award. The fair value of the ROCE performance awards is the average market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. In December 2021, special performance-based restricted stock unit awards (PSUs) were granted to members of the Company’s executive leadership team. Shares are earned based on the achievement of certain pre-set quantitative performance criteria during the four The Chief Executive Officer was granted PSUs that vest with the following, equally weighted, performance metrics: (i) EBITDA margin expansion, (ii) greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction, (iii) asset portfolio optimization, (iv) leverage metrics and (v) corporate relative valuation. Other members of the executive leadership team were granted PSUs that vest with performance criteria related to: (i) on time and on budget completion of BR2 (30% of the grant), (ii) EBITDA margin expansion (40% of the grant) and (iii) greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction (30% of the grant). For the PSU awards, a payout is achievable at threshold (50% of target), target (100% of target) or maximum (200% of target) performance achievement. Payout amounts will be interpolated between the threshold, target and maximum amounts. |

Income Taxes | 12. Income Taxes Tax provision For the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company recorded a tax provision of $530 million and a tax benefit of $36 million, respectively. Additionally, in accordance with the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company recorded an increase in its long-term state deferred tax asset of $4 million and a decrease in its long-term federal deferred tax liability of $15 million in the first quarter of 2022. The tax provision and tax benefit for the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively, were based on an estimated annual effective rate, which requires management to make its best estimate of annual pretax income or loss and discrete items recognized during the period. In March 2022, the Company and the Arkansas Economic Development Commission entered into the Recycling Tax Credit Incentive Agreement, whereby the Company may earn state income tax credits in an amount equal to 30% of the cost of waste reduction, reuse, or recycling equipment, subject to meeting the requirements of the Arkansas Code Ann. Section 26-51-506, for BR2 which is under construction in Osceola, Arkansas. Documentation supporting the Company's investment in qualifying equipment must be submitted as part of an application for certification expected to be completed on or before 2025. In March 2022, the Company received a lump-sum payment of approximately $82 million as proceeds from the sale of a portion of expected future tax credits to be earned by the Company (see Note 21 for additional information). The Company estimates that it could earn tax credits in excess of $700 million, exclusive of the amount sold in March 2022, which the Company will recognize in the year the assets are placed into service and meet the requirements of Arkansas Code Ann. Section 26-51-506. Any unused tax credit that cannot be claimed in a tax year may be carried forward indefinitely by the Company and applied to its future state tax liability. The tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2021, includes a benefit of $262 million for the release of the domestic valuation allowance recorded against domestic deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company evaluated all available positive and negative evidence, including the impact of profitability generated from current year operations and future projections of profitability. As a result, the Company determined that all of its domestic deferred tax assets were more likely than not to be realized with the exception of certain of its state net operating losses and state tax credits and reversed the valuation allowance against those deferred tax assets accordingly. Throughout the year, management regularly updates forecasted annual pretax results for the various countries in which we operate based on changes in factors such as prices, shipments, product mix, plant operating performance and cost estimates. To the extent that actual 2022 pretax results for U.S. and foreign income or loss vary from estimates applied herein, the actual tax provision or benefit recognized in 2022 could be materially different from the forecasted amount used to estimate the tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2022. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments | 14. Derivative Instruments U. S. Steel uses foreign exchange forward sales contracts (foreign exchange forwards) with maturities up to 28 months to manage our currency requirements and exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The USSE and Flat-Rolled segments use hedge accounting for their foreign exchange forwards. The Mini Mill segment has foreign exchange forwards for which hedge accounting has not been elected; therefore, the changes in the fair value of their foreign exchange forwards are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (mark-to-market accounting). U. S. Steel also uses financial swaps to protect from the commodity price risk associated with purchases of natural gas, zinc, tin, electricity and iron ore pellets (commodity purchase swaps). We elected cash flow hedge accounting for commodity purchase swaps for natural gas, zinc and tin and iron ore pellets and use mark-to-market accounting for electricity swaps. The maximum derivative contract duration for commodity purchase swaps where hedge accounting was elected and was not elected is 6 months and 18 months, respectively. U. S. Steel has entered into financial swaps that are used to partially manage the sales price risk of certain hot-rolled coil sales (sales swaps) and iron ore pellet sales (zero cost collars). Both the sales swaps and the zero cost collars are accounted for using hedge accounting and have maturities of up to 6 months. The table below shows the outstanding swap quantities used to hedge forecasted purchases and sales as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021: Hedge Contracts Classification June 30, 2022 June 30, 2021 Natural gas (in mmbtus) Commodity purchase swaps 51,735,000 25,251,000 Tin (in metric tons) Commodity purchase swaps 1,653 796 Zinc (in metric tons) Commodity purchase swaps 14,476 12,851 Electricity (in megawatt hours) Commodity purchase swaps 636,000 986,400 Iron ore pellets (in metric tons) Commodity purchase swaps 10,000 — Iron ore pellets (in metric tons) Zero-cost collars 756,000 — Hot-rolled coils (in tons) Sales swaps 77,000 159,880 Foreign currency (in millions of euros) Foreign exchange forwards € 332 € 278 Foreign currency (in millions of dollars) Foreign exchange forwards $ 147 $ 9 Foreign currency (in millions of CAD) Foreign exchange forwards $ 8 $ — The following summarizes the fair value amounts included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021: Balance Sheet Location (in millions) June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Designated as Hedging Instruments Accounts receivable $ 76 $ 42 Accounts payable 47 59 Investments and long-term receivables 2 2 Other long-term liabilities 13 4 Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Accounts receivable 18 5 Investments and long-term receivables 6 5 The table below summarizes the effect of hedge accounting on Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) and amounts reclassified from AOCI into earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021: Gain (Loss) on Derivatives in AOCI Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income (In millions) Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Location of Reclassification from AOCI (a) Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Sales swaps $ 82 $ (79) Net sales $ (12) $ (23) Commodity purchase swaps (74) 22 Cost of sales (b) 21 5 Foreign exchange forwards 11 2 Cost of sales 12 (5) (a) The earnings impact of our hedging instruments substantially offsets the earnings impact of the related hedged items resulting in immaterial ineffectiveness.

There were redemption premiums and debt issuance write-offs of $2 million related to the repurchases. Industrial Development Board of the City of Hoover, AL Environmental Improvement Revenue Bonds - Series 2020 During the six months ended June 30, 2022, U. S. Steel completed an approximately $14 million partial redemption of the Hoover, AL environmental revenue bonds. No redemption premiums were incurred as a result of this partial redemption. 2026 Senior Convertible Notes In October 2019, U. S. Steel issued $350 million of 5.00% Senior Convertible Notes due November 1, 2026 (2026 Senior Convertible Notes). Interest on the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The initial conversion rate for the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes is 74.8391 shares of U. S. Steel common stock per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $13.36 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment pursuant to the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes indenture. Based on the initial conversion rate, the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes are convertible into 26,193,685 shares of U. S. Steel common stock and we reserved for the possible issuance of 33,396,930 shares, which is the maximum amount that could be issued upon conversion. Prior to August 1, 2026, holders of notes may convert all or a portion of their notes at their option only upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods. On or after August 1, 2026, holders may convert all or a portion of their notes prior to the maturity date. Upon conversion, we will satisfy the obligation with cash, common stock, or a combination thereof, at our election. U. S. Steel may not redeem the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes prior to November 5, 2023. On or after November 5, 2023, and prior to August 1, 2026, if the price per share of U. S. Steel's common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for specified periods, U. S. Steel may redeem all or a portion of the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes at a cash redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If U. S. Steel undergoes a fundamental change, as defined in the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes, holders may require us to repurchase the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes in whole or in part for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding the repurchase date. Big River Steel - Sustainability Linked ABL Facility Big River Steel's amended senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (Big River Steel ABL Facility) matures on July 23, 2026. The facility is secured by first-priority liens on accounts receivable and inventory and certain other assets and second priority liens on most tangible and intangible assets of Big River Steel in each case subject to permitted liens. Additionally, the amendment includes sustainability targets related to greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction, safety performance and facility certification by ResponsibleSteel™. The Big River Steel ABL Facility provides for borrowings for working capital and general corporate purposes in an amount equal up to the lesser of (a) $350 million and (b) a borrowing base calculated based on specified percentages of eligible accounts receivables and inventory, subject to certain adjustments and reserves. Big River Steel LLC must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for the most recent twelve consecutive months when availability under the Big River Steel ABL Facility is less than the greater of ten percent of the borrowing base availability and $13 million. Based on the most recent four quarters as of June 30, 2022, Big River Steel would have met the fixed charge coverage ratio test. The facility includes affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are customary for facilities of this type. There were no loans outstanding under the Big River Steel ABL Facility at June 30, 2022. U. S. Steel - Sustainability Linked Credit Facility Agreement On May 27, 2022, U. S. Steel entered into the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement (Credit Facility Agreement) to replace the existing Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement (Fifth Credit Facility Agreement). The Credit Facility Agreement has substantially the same terms as the Fifth Credit Facility Agreement, except the Credit Facility Agreement references the Secured Overnight Financing Rate instead of the London Interbank Offered Rate, adjusts the individual lenders' commitments, and renews the five-year maturity to May 27, 2027. The Credit Facility Agreement also adjusts the threshold for the fixed charge coverage ratio. The total availability under the facility remained the same at $1,750 million, and the financial impact from replacing the Fifth Credit Facility Agreement was immaterial. Consistent with the Fifth Credit Facility Agreement, the Credit Facility Agreement is secured by first-priority liens on certain accounts receivable and inventory and includes targets related to greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction, safety performance and facility certification by ResponsibleSteel™. The Credit Facility Agreement provides for borrowings for working capital and general corporate purchases in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) $1,750 million or (b) a borrowing base calculated based on specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, subject to certain adjustments and reserves. As of June 30, 2022, there were approximately $4 million of letters of credit issued and no loans drawn under the Credit Facility Agreement. U. S. Steel must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for the most recent four consecutive quarters when availability under the Credit Facility Agreement is less than the greater of ten percent of the maximum facility availability and $140 million. Based on the most recent four quarters as of June 30, 2022, the Company would have met the fixed charge coverage ratio test. U. S. Steel Košice ( USSK) Credit Facilities On September 29, 2021, USSK entered into a €300 million (approximately $312 million) unsecured sustainability linked credit agreement (USSK Credit Agreement). The USSK Credit Agreement matures in 2026 and contains sustainability targets related to greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction, safety performance and facility certification by ResponsibleSteel™. At June 30, 2022, USSK had no borrowings under the USSK Credit Agreement. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingencies and Commitments | 21. Contingencies and Commitments U. S. Steel is the subject of, or party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Certain of these matters are discussed below. The ultimate resolution of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, management believes that U. S. Steel will remain a viable and competitive enterprise even though it is possible that these contingencies could be resolved unfavorably. U. S. Steel accrues for estimated costs related to existing lawsuits, claims and proceedings when it is probable that it will incur these costs in the future and the costs are reasonably estimable. Asbestos matters – As of June 30, 2022, U. S. Steel was a defendant in approximately 925 active asbestos cases involving approximately 2,515 plaintiffs. The vast majority of these cases involve multiple defendants. About 1,545, or approximately 61 percent, of these plaintiff claims are currently pending in a jurisdiction which permits filings with massive numbers of plaintiffs. At December 31, 2021, U. S. Steel was a defendant in approximately 915 active asbestos cases involving approximately 2,505 plaintiffs. Based upon U. S. Steel’s experience in such cases, it believes that the actual number of plaintiffs who ultimately assert claims against U. S. Steel will likely be a small fraction of the total number of plaintiffs. The following table shows the number of asbestos claims in the current period and the prior three years: Period ended Opening Claims New Claims Closing December 31, 2019 2,320 195 265 2,390 December 31, 2020 2,390 240 295 2,445 December 31, 2021 2,445 200 260 2,505 June 30, 2022 2,505 110 120 2,515 The amount U. S. Steel accrues for pending asbestos claims is not material to U. S. Steel’s financial condition. However, U. S. Steel is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of asbestos-related claims due to a number of uncertainties, including: (1) the rates at which new claims are filed, (2) the number of and effect of bankruptcies of other companies traditionally defending asbestos claims, (3) uncertainties associated with the variations in the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, (4) uncertainties regarding the facts, circumstances and disease process with each claim and (5) any new legislation enacted to address asbestos-related claims. Further, U. S. Steel does not believe that an accrual for unasserted claims is required. At any given reporting date, it is probable that there are unasserted claims that will be filed against the Company in the future. The Company engages an outside valuation consultant to assist in assessing its ability to estimate an accrual for unasserted claims. This assessment is based on the Company's settlement experience, including recent claims trends. The analysis focuses on settlements made over the last several years as these claims are likely to best represent future claim characteristics. After review by the valuation consultant and U. S. Steel management, it was determined that the Company could not estimate an accrual for unasserted claims. Despite these uncertainties, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on U. S. Steel’s financial condition. Environmental matters – U. S. Steel is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites. Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance. Changes in accrued liabilities for remediation activities where U. S. Steel is identified as a named party are summarized in the following table: (In millions) Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Beginning of period $ 158 Accruals for environmental remediation deemed probable and reasonably estimable 3 Obligations settled (24) End of period $ 137 Accrued liabilities for remediation activities are included in the following Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet lines: (In millions) June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities $ 64 $ 65 Deferred credits and other noncurrent liabilities 73 93 Total $ 137 $ 158 Expenses related to remediation are recorded in cost of sales and were immaterial for both the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021. It is not currently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties that may be imposed. Due to uncertainties inherent in remediation projects and the associated liabilities, it is reasonably possible that total remediation costs for active matters may exceed the accrued liabilities by as much as 15 to 30 percent. Remediation Projects U. S. Steel is involved in environmental remediation projects at or adjacent to several current and former U. S. Steel facilities and other locations that are in various stages of completion ranging from initial characterization through post-closure monitoring. Based on the anticipated scope and degree of uncertainty of projects, the Company categorizes projects as follows: (1) Projects with Ongoing Study and Scope Development - For these projects, the extent of remediation that may be required is not yet known, the remediation methods and plans are not yet developed, and/or cost estimates cannot be determined. Therefore, significant costs, in addition to the accrued liabilities for these projects, are reasonably possible. There are four environmental remediation projects where additional costs for completion are not currently estimable but could be material. These projects are at Fairfield Works, Lorain Tubular, USS-UPI LLC (UPI) and the former steelmaking plant at Joliet, Illinois. As of June 30, 2022, accrued liabilities for these projects totaled $1 million for the costs of studies, investigations, interim measures, design and/or remediation. It is reasonably possible that additional liabilities associated with future requirements regarding studies, investigations, design and remediation for these projects could be as much as $22 million to $36 million. (2) Projects with Significant Accrued liabilities with a Defined Scope - As of June 30, 2022, there are three significant projects with defined scope greater than or equal to $5 million each, with a total accrued liability of $83 million. These projects are Gary Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (the RCRA) (accrued liability of $24 million), Duluth Works (accrued liability of $40 million) and the former Geneva facility (accrued liability of $19 million). (3) Other Projects with a Defined Scope - These projects involve relatively small accrued liabilities for which we believe that, while additional costs are possible, they are not likely to be significant, and also include those projects for which we do not yet possess sufficient information to estimate potential costs to U. S. Steel. There are three other environmental remediation projects which each had an accrued liability of between $1 million and $5 million. The total accrued liability for these projects at June 30, 2022 was $5 million. These projects have progressed through a significant portion of the design phase and material additional costs are not expected. The remaining environmental remediation projects each have an accrued liability of less than $1 million each. The total accrued liability for these projects at June 30, 2022 was approximately $4 million. The Company does not foresee material additional liabilities for any of these sites. Post-Closure Costs – Accrued liabilities for post-closure site monitoring and other costs at various closed landfills totaled $24 million at June 30, 2022 and were based on known scopes of work. Administrative and Legal Costs – As of June 30, 2022, U. S. Steel had an accrued liability of $10 million for administrative and legal costs related to environmental remediation projects. These accrued liabilities were based on projected administrative and legal costs for the next three years and do not change significantly from year to year. Capital Expenditures – For a number of years, U. S. Steel has made substantial capital expenditures to comply with various regulations, laws and other requirements relating to the environment. Such capital expenditures totaled $13 million and $7 million in the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. U. S. Steel anticipates making additional such expenditures in the future, which may be material; however, the exact amounts and timing of such expenditures are uncertain because of the continuing evolution of specific regulatory requirements. European Union (the EU) Environmental Requirements - Phase IV of the EU Emissions Trading System (the EU ETS) commenced on January 1, 2021 and will finish on December 31, 2030. The European Commission issued final approval of the updated 2021-2025 Slovak National Allocation table in February 2022. Subsequently, the Slovak Ministry of Environment allocated the full amount of 2022 free allowances totaling 6.3 million EUA to USSE in February and April 2022. As of June 30, 2022, we have pre-purchased approximately 1.7 million EUA totaling €111 million (approximately $115 million) to cover the expected 2022 shortfall of emission allowances. The EU’s Industrial Emissions Directive requires implementation of EU-determined best available techniques (BAT) for Iron and Steel production to reduce environmental impacts as well as compliance with BAT associated emission levels. Total capital expenditures for projects to comply with or go beyond BAT requirements were €138 million (approximately $143 million) over the actual program period. These costs were partially offset by the EU funding received and may be mitigated over the next measurement periods if USSK complies with certain financial covenants, which are assessed annually. USSK complied with these covenants as of June 30, 2022. If we are unable to meet these covenants in the future, USSK might be required to provide additional collateral (e.g., bank guarantee) to secure 50 percent of the EU funding received. Environmental indemnifications – Throughout its history, U. S. Steel has sold numerous properties and businesses and many of these sales included indemnifications and cost sharing agreements related to the assets that were divested. The amount of potential environmental liability associated with these transactions and properties is not estimable due to the nature and extent of the unknown conditions related to the properties divested and deconsolidated. Aside from the environmental liabilities already recorded as a result of these transactions due to specific environmental remediation activities and cases (included in the $137 million of accrued liabilities for remediation discussed above), there are no other known probable and estimable environmental liabilities related to these transactions. Guarantees – The maximum guarantees of the indebtedness of unconsolidated entities of U. S. Steel totaled $7 million at June 30, 2022. Other contingencies – Under certain lease agreements covering various equipment, U. S. Steel has the option to renew the lease or to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term. If U. S. Steel does not exercise the purchase option by the end of the lease term, U. S. Steel guarantees a residual value of the equipment as determined at the lease inception date (totaling approximately $13 million at June 30, 2022). No liability has been recorded for these guarantees as the potential loss is not probable. The Company's BR2 project in Osceola, Arkansas qualifies for financing and related economic incentives associated with the acquisition, development, construction, and operation of the facility. These incentives consist of advance lump-sum payments which are included in deferred credits and other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In March 2022, the Company received a lump-sum payment of approximately $82 million as proceeds from the sale of a portion of expected future tax credits to be earned by the Company under the State of Arkansas's Recycling Tax Credit program. These funds are to be used primarily for the acquisition of project related equipment, however they may also be used for the training and development of new employees hired for the project. The Company is contingently liable for certain repayment penalties if the Company fails to meet certain employment requirements in any given period. In April 2022, the Company received a $3 million grant from Mississippi County, Arkansas, and in May 2022, the Company received a $50 million grant from the State of Arkansas Quick Action Closing Fund. Both grants pertain to the reimbursement of qualifying project costs. Deferred liabilities were recognized for each of these grants and are included in deferred credits and other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For each of these incentives and grants, the balance of deferred income will be recognized into other gains, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company earns the granted funds by complying with the investment and employment requirements of the grant programs. Insurance – U . S. Steel maintains insurance for certain property damage, equipment, business interruption and general liability exposures; however, insurance is applicable only after certain deductibles and retainages. U. S. Steel is self-insured for certain other exposures including workers’ compensation (where permitted by law) and auto liability. Liabilities are recorded for workers’ compensation and personal injury obligations. Other costs resulting from losses under deductible or retainage amounts or not otherwise covered by insurance are charged against income upon occurrence. U. S. Steel uses surety bonds, trusts and letters of credit to provide whole or partial financial assurance for certain obligations such as workers’ compensation. The total amount of active surety bonds, trusts and letters of credit being used for financial assurance purposes was approximately $272 million as of June 30, 2022, which reflects U. S. Steel’s maximum exposure under these financial guarantees, but not its total exposure for the underlying obligations. A significant portion of our trust arrangements and letters of credit are collateralized by the Credit Facility Agreement. The remaining trust arrangements and letters of credit are collateralized by restricted cash. Restricted cash, which is recorded in other current and noncurrent assets, totaled $64 million and $78 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Capital Commitments – At June 30, 2022, U. S. Steel’s contractual commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment totaled $2.128 billion. Contractual Purchase Commitments – U. S. Steel is obligated to make payments under contractual purchase commitments, including unconditional purchase obligations. Payments for contracts with remaining terms in excess of one year are summarized below (in millions): Remainder of 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Later Total $317 $652 $351 $347 $272 $745 $2,684 The majority of U.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
New and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2021-08). ASU 2021-08 requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 is effective for public companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption of all amendments in the same period permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2021-08 but does not believe it will have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 also requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments and amends certain guidance in ASC 260 on the computation of earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The update requires entities to use the If-Converted Method for calculating diluted earnings per share, retiring the previous alternative calculation of the Treasury Stock Method for calculating diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments. U. S. Steel has adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective implementation method as of January 1, 2022. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated January 1, 2022, balance sheet for the adoption of ASU 2020-06 was as follows: (in millions) Balance as of December 31, 2021 Adjustments due to ASU 2020-06 Balance as of January 1, 2022 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Assets Deferred income tax benefits 32 4 36 Liabilities Long-term debt, less unamortized discount and debt issuance costs 3,863 74 3,937 Deferred income tax liabilities 122 (15) 107 Equity Additional paid-in capital 5,199 (78) 5,121 Retained Earnings 3,534 22 3,556 In November 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance (ASU 2021-10). ASU 2021-10 provides expanded annual disclosure requirements for business entities that account for a transaction with a government by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. U. S. Steel adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |
