About this prospectus supplement
This document consists of two parts. The first part is the prospectus supplement, which describes the
specific terms of this offering and certain other matters relating to United States Steel Corporation. The
second part, the accompanying prospectus, gives more general information about securities we may
offer from time to time, some of which do not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer to the
prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. If the description in the
prospectus supplement differs from the description in the accompanying prospectus, the description in
the prospectus supplement supersedes the description in the accompanying prospectus.

incorporated by reference in other parts of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus. This summary highlights selected information from the prospectus supplement and the

See "Risk factors" in this prospectus supplement and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2006, as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, for factors that you
should consider before investing in the Notes and "Forward-Looking Statements" in the accompanying
prospectus for information relating to statements contained in this prospectus supplement that are not
historical facts.
The company
U. S. Steel is an integrated steel producer with major production operations in North America and
Central Europe. We have annual raw steel production capability of 24.6 million net tons in North
America and 7.4 million net tons in Central Europe. U. S. Steel is also engaged in several other
business activities, most of which are related to steel manufacturing. These activities include the
production of coke in both North America and Central Europe and the production of iron ore pellets
from taconite, transportation services (railroad and barge operations) and real estate operations in
North America.

finishing services, for a net purchase price of $2.0 billion. The acquisition has strengthened U. S.
Steel's position as a premier producer of tubular products for the energy sector.

Prospectus Supplement
approximately $1.2 billion for the stock purchase and approximately $785 million for the retirement of
debt (the "acquisition"). On the closing date of the acquisition, Stelco was renamed U. S. Steel Canada

million of senior notes, $458 million of obligations relating to environmental
revenue bonds, a $500 million term loan and $96 million of obligations

In May 2007, U. S. Steel entered into a $750 million unsecured five-year
revolving credit facility with a group of lenders. As of September 30, 2007,
we had no borrowings against this facility.
At September 30, 2007, U. S. Steel Kosice, s.r.o. ("USSK") had no
borrowings against its 40 million and 20 million credit facilities (which
approximated $85 million, in aggregate, at September 30, 2007), but had,
in aggregate, approximately $5 million of customs and other guarantees
outstanding, reducing the aggregate availability to approximately $80
million.
At September 30, 2007, U. S. Steel Balkan, d.o.o. ("USSB") had no
borrowings against its 25 million facility (which approximated $35 million
at September 30, 2007), which is secured by its inventory of finished and
semi-finished goods.
U. S. Steel Canada remains liable for its previously outstanding C$150
million loan owed by Stelco to the Province of Ontario (the "Province
Note"). The Province Note is unsecured and is repayable on December 31,
2015. See "Stelco acquisition."
Covenants
We will issue the Notes under a senior indenture, as amended, with The
Bank of New York, as trustee. The senior indenture, among other things,
restricts our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to:
· create liens on any Principal Property or shares of stock or other equity
interests of a Subsidiary that owns any Principal Property to secure
indebtedness;
· engage in sale leaseback transactions with respect to any Principal
Property; and
· consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of U. S. Steel's
assets.
These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications
which are described in "Description of the notes--Covenants."
Additional notes
The senior indenture governing the Notes provides for unlimited issuances
of additional Notes. See "Description of the notes--Additional issuances."
