(WASHINGTON, DC) -- Petitions filed by U.S. pipeline
companies are among the 22,500 exemption requests made to the Commerce
Department from tariffs on imported steel.
The agency provided the list of exemption filings Tuesday,
which include requests by Plains All American Pipeline, Kinder Morgan, and Hess
Corp. Pipeline companies rely heavily on imported steel in their products,
because there is little domestic manufacturing base.
