FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | 9 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS We have various financial instruments that require fair value measurements classified as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following discussion represents the assets and liabilities measured at fair value at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. There were no Level 1 financial assets as of September 30, 2016. Financial assets classified in Level 1 as of December 31, 2015, include money market funds of $30.0 million. The valuation of these instruments is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. The derivative financial assets classified within Level 3 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 primarily relate to a freestanding derivative instrument related to certain supply agreements with one of our U.S. Iron Ore customers. The agreements include provisions for supplemental revenue or refunds based on the customer’s annual steel pricing at the time the product is consumed in the customer’s blast furnaces. We account for this provision as a derivative instrument at the time of sale and adjust this provision to fair value as an adjustment to Product revenues each reporting period until the product is consumed and the amounts are settled. The fair value of the instrument is determined using a market approach based on an estimate of the annual realized price of hot-rolled coil at the steelmaker’s facilities, and takes into consideration current market conditions and nonperformance risk. The Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities also consisted of derivatives related to certain provisional pricing arrangements with our U.S. Iron Ore and Asia Pacific Iron Ore customers at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. These provisional pricing arrangements specify provisional price calculations, where the pricing mechanisms generally are based on market pricing, with the final revenue rate to be based on market inputs at a specified point in time in the future, per the terms of the supply agreements. The difference between the estimated final revenue at the date of sale and the estimated final revenue rate is characterized as a derivative and is required to be accounted for separately once the revenue has been recognized. The derivative instrument is adjusted to fair value through Product revenues each reporting period based upon current market data and forward-looking estimates provided by management until the final revenue rate is determined. The following table illustrates information about quantitative inputs and assumptions for the derivative assets and derivative liabilities categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy:
Qualitative/Quantitative Information About Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
|  | (In Millions) Fair Value at September 30, 2016 |  | Balance Sheet Location |  | Valuation Technique |  | Unobservable Input |  | Range or Point Estimate per dry metric ton (Weighted Average)
Provisional pricing arrangements |  | $ | 0.4 |  |  | Other current assets |  | Market Approach |  | Management's Estimate of 62% Fe |  | $56
| $ | 2.7 |  |  | Other current liabilities |  |  |
Customer supply agreement |  | $ | 28.0 |  |  | Other current assets |  | Market Approach |  | Hot-Rolled Coil Estimate |  | $430 - $530 ($470)
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of our provisional pricing arrangements is management’s estimate of 62 percent Fe fines spot price based upon current market data, including historical seasonality and forward-looking estimates determined by management. Significant increases or decreases in this input would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of our customer supply agreement is the future hot-rolled coil price that is estimated based on projections provided by the customer, current market data, analysts' projections and forward-looking estimates determined by management. Significant increases or decreases in this input would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively. We recognize any transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015. The following tables represent a reconciliation of the changes in fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Gains and losses included in earnings are reported in Product revenues in the Statements of Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The carrying amount for certain financial instruments (e.g., Accounts receivable, net, Accounts payable and Accrued expenses) approximates fair value and, therefore, has been excluded from the table below. A summary of the carrying amount and fair value of other financial instruments at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:
