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.

Optional Redemption
We may redeem the notes, at any time in whole, or from time to time in

Ranking
The notes will be our senior and unsecured obligations and will rank
equally with all of our other existing and future senior and unsecured
indebtedness. The notes will effectively rank junior to any of our existing
and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such
indebtedness, and will be structurally subordinated to any indebtedness
and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.
Other Debt outstanding
As of December 31, 2009, we had an aggregate of approximately $2,980
million of senior indebtedness outstanding (including approximately
$2,463 million of senior notes, $458 million of obligations relating to
environmental revenue bonds, and $59 million of obligations under capital
leases and other debt, excluding intercompany liabilities).
After giving effect to this offering and the use of net proceeds therefrom,
we would have an aggregate of approximately $3,580 million of senior
indebtedness, excluding intercompany liabilities.
U. S. Steel has a $500 million Receivables Purchase Agreement with
financial institutions that expires in September 2010. As of December 31,

Prospectus Supplement

Table of Contents
U. S. Steel has a $750 million revolving credit facility with a consortium
of lenders that includes a security interest in the majority of our domestic
inventory, certain accounts receivable and related collateral and will expire
in May 2012 (the "Credit Facility"). As of December 31, 2009, there were
no amounts drawn under the Credit Facility, and inventory levels
supported the full $750 million of availability under the facility. Since
availability was greater than $112.5 million, compliance with the fixed
charge coverage ratio covenant was not applicable. However, based on the
most recent four quarters, as of December 31, 2009, we would not meet
this covenant if we were to borrow more than $637.5 million.
As of December 31, 2009, U. S. Steel Canada had C$150 million
(approximately $142 million) outstanding under a note to the Province of
Ontario.
At December 31, 2009, U. S. Steel Kosice ("USSK") had 200 million
(approximately $288 million) borrowed under a three-year revolving credit
facility that expires in July 2011.
At December 31, 2009, USSK had no borrowings against its 40 million,
20 million and 10 million credit facilities (which in total approximated
$101 million) and the availability was approximately $93 million due to
approximately $8 million of customs and other guarantees outstanding,
respectively. The 40 million and 10 million credit facilities expire in
October 2012 and January 2011, respectively. The 20 million credit
facility expires in December 2012.
At December 31, 2009, U. S. Steel Serbia, d.o.o. ("USSS") had no
borrowings against its credit facilities, which include a 40 million
revolving credit facility and an 800 million Serbian dinar overdraft facility
(which in total approximated $69 million). The credit facilities are secured
by, and availability is limited to the value of, USSS's inventory of finished
and semi-finished goods. These credit facilities expire in August 2010. At
December 31, 2009, there were no borrowings under these facilities and
the availability was approximately 39 million (approximately $55
million).
Covenants
We will issue the notes under a senior indenture with The Bank of New
York Mellon Trust Company N.A., as trustee. The senior indenture will,
among other things, restrict 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 and leaseback transactions with respect to any Principal

Property; and

· consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of U. S. Steel's

assets.

Table of Contents
These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications that
are described in "Description of the Notes--Covenants."

Additional Notes
The senior indenture governing the notes will provide for unlimited
issuances of additional notes. See "Description of the Notes--Additional
Issuances."
Book Entry Form Only
The notes will be issued in book-entry form and will be represented by one
or more permanent global certificates deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC
and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC. Beneficial interests in
any of the notes will be shown on, and transfers will be effected only
through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee, and any such interest
may not be exchanged for certificated securities.
Use of Proceeds
The net proceeds from the sale of the notes in this offering are estimated to
be approximately $582 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and
our expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes
for general corporate purposes. See "Use of Proceeds."
Risk Factors
See "Risk Factors" and the other information included or incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement for a discussion of certain factors
you should carefully consider before deciding to invest in the notes.

RISK FACTORS
Before investing in the notes, you should carefully consider the risks set forth in Item 1A of our annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as well as the following risks. The following risks are not the only ones
facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business
operations or the value of the notes.
Risks Related to an Investment in the Notes
The notes do not impose any limitations on our ability to incur additional debt or other obligations.
The senior indenture governing the notes does not restrict the future incurrence of secured indebtedness, unsecured
indebtedness, guarantees or other obligations. Except for the limitations in granting liens or entering into sales and leasebacks
of certain assets we currently own within the definition of "Principal Property", the senior indenture does not restrict our
ability to grant liens on our assets or to engage in sale and leaseback transactions. See "Description of the Notes--Limitation
on Liens" and "Description of the Notes--Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions."
The notes will be effectively junior to the Credit Facility and any other secured indebtedness that we may issue in the
future.
The notes are unsecured. Holders of our secured debt that we may issue in the future may foreclose on the assets
securing such debt, reducing the cash flow from the foreclosed property available for payment of unsecured debt, including
the notes. We have granted the lenders under the Credit Facility a first lien on the majority of our domestic inventories and
certain accounts receivable. Holders of our secured debt also would have priority over unsecured creditors in the event of our
bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. As a
result, the notes will be effectively junior to the Credit Facility, secured obligations under capital leases and any secured debt
that we may issue in the future.
The notes are obligations exclusively of U. S. Steel and not of our subsidiaries, and payment to holders of the notes will be
structurally subordinated to the claims of our subsidiaries' creditors.
The notes are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. As a result, liabilities, including indebtedness or guarantees
of indebtedness, of each of our subsidiaries, will rank effectively senior to the indebtedness represented by the notes, to the
extent of such subsidiary's assets. As of December 31, 2009, our subsidiaries had an aggregate of approximately $430
million of indebtedness outstanding, including C$150 million (approximately $142 million) due to the Province of Ontario
and 200 million (approximately $288 million) due under the USSK revolving credit facility.
The definition of a Change of Control requiring us to repurchase the notes is limited, and the market price of the notes
may decline if we enter into a transaction that is not a Change of Control under the senior indenture governing the notes.
The term Change of Control (as defined in the senior indenture) is limited in its scope and does not include many
events that might cause the market price of the notes to decline. Furthermore, we are required to repurchase notes of each
series upon a Change of Control only if, as a result of such Change of Control, the notes receive certain reductions in ratings,
and the Rating Agencies assigning the ratings expressly link the reductions in ratings to the Change of Control. As a result,
our obligation to repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of a Change of Control is limited and may not preserve the value
of the notes in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, merger or similar transaction. If we experience a
Change of Control, we may not have sufficient funds or be permitted under the terms of our debt instruments to repurchase
the notes. See "Description of the Notes--Change of Control Offer."

Prospectus Supplement
Page 10 of 62
Table of Contents
Certain of our other creditors, such as the lenders under our Credit Facility, and the United Steelworkers have
broader change of control protection, and the senior indenture governing the notes does not restrict our ability to agree to
change of control provisions or to enter into transactions that would constitute a change of control under the notes or in any
other agreement into which we may enter.
There is no public market for the notes, which could limit their market price or your ability to sell them.
The notes are a new issue of securities for which there currently is no trading market. As a result, a market may not
develop for any series of notes and you may not be able to sell your notes. Any notes that are traded after their initial issuance
may trade at a discount from their initial offering price. Future trading prices of the notes will depend on many factors,
including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, general economic conditions and our financial condition,
performance and prospects. Accordingly, you may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the notes for an
indefinite period of time. We do not intend to apply for listing or quotation of the notes on any securities exchange or
automated quotation system. While the underwriters may make a market in the notes they are not required to do so and
consequently any market making with respect to the notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. Even if the
underwriters make a market in the notes the liquidity of such a market may be limited. See "Underwriting."
