Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	(13) Related Party Transactions Icahn Enterprises In May 2012, IEP announced that it had acquired control of CVR pursuant to a tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. As of March 31, 2016, IEP and its affiliates owned approximately 82% of the Company's outstanding common shares. On March 7, 2016, we paid a cash dividend to the Company's stockholders of record at the close of business on February 29, 2016 for the fourth quarter of 2015 in the amount of $0.50 per share, or $43.4 million in the aggregate. IEP received $35.6 million in respect of its common shares. Tax Allocation Agreement CVR is a member of the consolidated federal tax group of AEPC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IEP, and has entered into a Tax Allocation Agreement. Refer to Note 7 ("Income Taxes") for a discussion of related party transactions under the Tax Allocation Agreement. Insight Portfolio Group Insight Portfolio Group LLC ("Insight Portfolio Group") is an entity formed by Mr. Carl C. Icahn in order to maximize the potential buying power of a group of entities with which Mr. Icahn has a relationship in negotiating with a wide range of suppliers of goods, services and tangible and intangible property at negotiated rates. In January 2013, CVR Energy acquired a minority equity interest in Insight Portfolio Group and agreed to pay a portion of Insight Portfolio Group's operating expenses in 2013 and subsequent periods. The Company paid Insight Portfolio Group approximately $0.1 million and $0.0, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company may purchase a variety of goods and services as a member of the buying group at prices and terms that management believes would be more favorable than those which would be achieved on a stand-alone basis. Commitment Letter Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership entered into a commitment letter (the "Commitment Letter") with CRLLC, pursuant to which CRLLC committed to, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, make available to the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership term loan financing of up to $150.0 million, which amounts would be available solely to fund the repayment of all of the loans outstanding under East Dubuque's $50.0 million credit facility, the cash consideration and expenses associated with the mergers. The term loan facility, if drawn, would have a one year term and would bear interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.0% per annum. Calculation of interest would be on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. CRLLC Guaranty On February 9, 2016, CRLLC and the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership entered into a guaranty pursuant to which CRLLC agreed to guaranty the indebtedness outstanding under the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership's credit facility. Refer to Note 8 ("Long-Term Debt") for additional discussion of the guarantee. CRLLC Facility with the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership On April 1, 2016, in connection with the closing of the mergers, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership entered into a senior term loan credit agreement with CRLLC and the Commitment Letter and the CRLLC guaranty were terminated.
