The Department of Energy has backed off a $730 million conditional loan guarantee to a Russian company for a steel plant in Michigan, after Republicans complained about the proposed arrangement.

The Obama administration did not offer a specific reason for discontinuing federal support for Russian firm Severstal. Energy Department spokesman Damien LaVera said only that officials reached the decision after a review of the application.
