Narrative:
First officer was PF. Captain was typing message to dispatcher concerning icing condition and areas. Aircraft had developed inoperative engine anti-ice during flight. Considering diverting. First officer didn't slow to 250 KTS before descending through 10000 ft. At 8000 ft MSL (approximately), ATC asked us what our speed was. We quickly slowed to 250 KTS from approximately 275 KTS. No vectors or restrs were given to us or other aircraft due to unintentional increased airspeed.

Title: SPD DEV OF OVER 250 KTS AT 8000 FT BY AN F100 FLT CREW WHEN THEY ARE DISTR WITH AN INOP ENG ANTI-ICE SYS NEAR ICING CONDITIONS AT PIT, PA.
Narrative: FO WAS PF. CAPT WAS TYPING MESSAGE TO DISPATCHER CONCERNING ICING CONDITION AND AREAS. ACFT HAD DEVELOPED INOP ENG ANTI-ICE DURING FLT. CONSIDERING DIVERTING. FO DIDN'T SLOW TO 250 KTS BEFORE DSNDING THROUGH 10000 FT. AT 8000 FT MSL (APPROX), ATC ASKED US WHAT OUR SPD WAS. WE QUICKLY SLOWED TO 250 KTS FROM APPROX 275 KTS. NO VECTORS OR RESTRS WERE GIVEN TO US OR OTHER ACFT DUE TO UNINTENTIONAL INCREASED AIRSPD.
