ii Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 2000
Preface

Coal Industry Annual 2000 provides comprehensive

information about U.S. coal production, number of

mines, prices, productivity, employment, productive

capacity, and recoverable reserves. U.S. coal production for 1998 and later are based on the U.S.

Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health

Administration's Form 7000-2, "Quarterly Mine

Employment and Coal Production Report." Coal production for 1997 and previous years is based on the

annual survey EIA-7A, "Coal Production Report."

This report also presents data on coal consumption,

coal distribution, coal stocks, coal prices, and coal

quality. Appendix A contains a compilation of coal

statistics for the major coal-producing States. This

report also includes national total coal consumption

for nonutility power producers that are not in the manufacturing, agriculture, mining, construction, or commercial sectors.

The base year for the implicit price deflator, which is

used to convert nominal figures to real figures is 1996

(Table D2).

This report constitutes the 25th annual report on coal

production published by EIA and continues the series

formerly included in the Minerals Yearbook published

by the Bureau of Mines.

The data presented in the report were collected and

published by the Energy Information Administration

(EIA), to fulfill its data collection and dissemination

responsibilities, as specified in the Federal Energy

Administration Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-275), as

amended. Data for the Demonstrated Reserve Base

(DRB) are now reported in U.S. Coal Reserves: A

Review and Update (DOE/EIA-0529). However, this

report includes data on the recoverable portion of the

DRB in Table 105.

The Office of Coal, Nuclear, Electric and Alternate

Fuels gratefully acknowledges the cooperation of the

respondents in supplying the information presented in

the Coal Industry Annual 2000 and appreciates the

valuable assistance of State coal mining agencies; the

U.S. Department of the Interior: the Bureau of Land

Management, the Minerals Management Service; the

U.S. Department of Labor: the Mine Safety and

Health Administration, the Bureau of Labor Statistics;

Census; and the King Publishing Corporation.

Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 2000 iii 
Notice

The Energy Information Administration (EIA)

changed the survey form EIA-7A "Coal Production

Report," beginning with the collection of 1998 data.

Data on coal production and employment are no

longer collected on the Form EIA-7A; rather those

data are obtained through a data-sharing agreement

with the Mine Safety and Health Administration

(MSHA) of the U.S. Department of Labor, based on

the Form 7000-2, "Quarterly Mine Employment and

Coal Production Report." As a result of these changes,

certain data elements are no longer consistent with the

historical data series.

Some differences in the 1998 and later data are attributable to modifications of definitions, while other differences are a result of changes in the industry. It is

important to note these changes when comparing data

over the historical period.

The changes are specified in the following text:

(1)The data on 1998 and later coal production at the

county level are no longer comparable with data published in previous issues of the Coal Industry Annual.

Production at the county level is now solely based on

the county in which the mine orginally opened,

whether or not any coal was produced in that county.

(Adjustments have been made only for mines that

cross State boundaries.) As a consequence, the

number of mines are also no longer comparable with

the historical series, since a mine that had previously

crossed county lines, was counted as two mines.

(2)The data on 1998 and later productivity are not

comparable with the historic data series, since the

MSHA definition of employment differs from that

previously used by EIA. EIA had defined employment

to include all managerial, technical, and engineering

personnel, whether or not they worked in the mine.

MSHA defines employment into two categories: one

for the employees working in the mine and a second

for office employees. All MSHA employees are now

included in the total employment data.

(3)The definition of the producer's price of coal has

changed for 1998 and later. Previously, EIA defined

price data as f.o.b. (free on board) mine price; producer's price is now defined as f.o.b. (free on board)

rail/barge.

Executive Summary

Overview

For the first time in more than 40 years, U.S. coal

production has decreased for a second consecutive year.

In 2000, coal production declined by 2.4 percent from

1999, to 1,073.6 million short tons. (Table ES1). Nevertheless, overall coal consumption increased in 2000. The

additional needs of the industry were answered by a

substantial draw down in stocks of 43.4 million short

tonsClowering year-end stock levels by 23.7 percent

from 1999 levels.

Coal consumption in the United States totaled 1080.9

million short tons, an increase of 3.5 percent. The electric

power industry, excluding cogeneration facilities owned

by the industrial and commercial sectors, used a record

982.6 million short tons of coal, 90.9 percent of total U.S.

consumption. Coal-based electric power accounted for

51.8 percent of total electric generation. The increase in

coal consumed to generate electricity was, in part, a

response to the weather and the decline in hydroelectric

generation. Coal use in the non-electricity sector rose for

the first time in 6 years, as consumption at coke plants

pushed the total sector to grow by 0.6 percent to reach a

total of 98.3 million short tons.

Reflecting increasing global competition in the coal

market, U.S. coal imports climbed in 2000 by more than

37 percent, achieving a record level of 12.5 million short

tons. Several utilities used imported low-sulfur coal to

help meet stricter sulfur emission requirements of Phase

II of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA),

which became effective January 1, 2000. Although there

was a decline in steam coal exports, the increase in

metallurgical coal exports mitigated that loss, holding

total coal exports at 58.5 million short tons for the

yearBreversing a 3 year downward trend.

Year-end coal stocks declined in both the consuming and

producing sectors. Consumer stocks decreased by 35.8

million short tons while producer and distributor stocks

fell by 7.6 million short tons.

The delivered price of coal continued a downward trend

that started more than a decade ago. On an annual basis,

the average utility price per ton of coal delivered to

utilities dropped by 1.8 percent in 2000, the price of

coking coal fell by 3.2 percent, while the price of other

industrial steam coal declined marginally. As a result of

the strong competition in the world coal market, U.S.

coal export price, measured in free alongside ship (f.a.s.)

value, decreased by 4.4 percent, while the price of coal

imports dropped by 2.2 percent.

Production

Coal production in 2000 totaled 1,073.6 million short

tons, dropping 2.4 percent (26.8 million short tons) from

1999 (Figure ES1 and Table ES1). The decline in

production was attributable to (1) a substantial draw

down in total coal stocks, (2) a lack of excess production

capacity at some mines, and (3) a reluctance on the part

of some producers to expand production to meet

increasing demands in the latter part of the year. In a

departure from the trend of the past several years,

production levels in all three regions declined (Figure

ES2 and Table ES2).

Appalachian Region

Coal production in the Appalachian Region was 419.4

million short tons in 2000, a decrease of 6.2 million short

tons from 1999. Of the three major coal producing States

in the region, only West Virginia had higher production

levels in 2000, while Eastern Kentucky and Pennsylvania

registered a decrease in production. Coal production in

West Virginia, the largest coal producing State in the

region, rose by 0.3 million short tons (0.2 percent) to a

level of 158.3 million short tons. Although coal production increased in West Virginia in 2000, it was

constrained in part by controversy surrounding a

lawsuit brought by an environmental group in Federal

court, involving mountaintop removal and valley fills.

The judge in the case banned valley fills within the

buffer zones around streams in October 1999, thereby

delaying the start of several new mines that could have

produced coal in 2000. Eastern Kentucky’s production

dropped 5.1 million short tons to end the year at 104.9

million short tons. In 2000, Pennsylvania produced 74.6

million short tons, a drop of 1.8 million short tons (2.3

percent), somewhat reflecting the drop in steam coal

increased their production, while Alabama, Ohio, and

Tennessee had decreases in coal production in 2000.

Interior Region

Reflecting the closure of several large mines in the

region, coal production in the Interior Region dropped

in 2000 by 19.0 million short tons (11.7 percent) to a level

of 143.5 million short tonsCextending a downward trend

for the region to 4 years. Every major coal-producing

State in the Interior Region had lower production levels

in 2000. The States in the Illinois Basin (Illinois, Indiana,

and Western Kentucky) accounted for 88.5 percent of the

loss, falling from a combined total of 104 million short

tons to 87.2 million short tons. The greatest decline in

tonnage for any State in the Interior Region was

registered by Illinois (down by 7 million short tons)

where production ceased at two major mines, the

Peabody’s Marissa mine and Arch Coal’s Conant mine,

which together accounted for 5.8 million short tons of

production in 1999. Coal production in the two other

Illinois Basin States, Indiana and Western Kentucky,

dropped by 6 million short tons (17.8 percent) and by 3.8

million short tons (12.8 percent), respectively. Production ceased at three major mines in Indiana,

Peabody’s Hawthorn and Lynnville mines, and Kindell

Mining’s Kindell #1 mine. These three mines produced

7 million short tons of coal in 1999. Texas, the largest

coal-producing State in the Interior Region, saw its production level decline by 3.6 million short tons (6.7

percent), which reflects the continuing displacement of

state-produced lignite by Powder River Basin coal at

several of the State’s electric utilities. In the Interior

Region, only Louisiana increased production in 2000

from 1999, by 25.3 percent. Coal mining began in

Mississippi during the last couple of weeks in December

1999 and continued throughout most of 2000 in

preparation for start up of the Choctaw Generation

Ltd.’s Red Hills Power Plant.

Table ES2. U.S. Coal Production by Coal-Producing Region and State, 1997-2000

(Million Short Tons)

Western Region

In 2000, coal production in the Western Region declined

for the first time in 16 years, dropping by 1.7 million

short tons to 510.7 million short tons, a decrease of only

0.3 percent. Coal production in this region (as well as in

the entire United States) was dominated by Wyoming,

which accounted for two thirds of the regional

production and nearly one third of U.S. production in

2000. Wyoming produced 338.9 million short tons of

coalConly 7 percent less than the next three largest coalproducing States combined. In 2000, Wyoming

continued an 8-year trend of increasing coal production,

growing by 1.8 million short tons (0.5 percent). The

continued penetration of Powder River Basin coal into

the eastern electric power markets has helped to drive

Wyoming production to record level for another year,

although the level of growth dropped substantially in

2000. The slowdown in growth in Wyoming was a

reflection of the decision by some producers to limit

production expansion and by the constraints of the coal

transportation (or railroad loadout) capacity in the

Powder River Basin.

Montana, the second largest coal producing State in the

Western Region, had a decrease in production of 2.8

million short tons. Production levels in Colorado and

New Mexico also declined in 2000. Colorado produced

29.1 million short tons, a decline of 2.8 percent. In 2000,

New Mexico experienced a localized strike and some

equipment problems. As a result, some of the producers

drew down their stocks thereby decreasing New

Mexico’s coal production by 1.8 million short tons, to a

level of 27.3 million short tons. Arizona increased coal

production by 1.3 million short tons (11.2 percent),

reflecting the increase in coal-based electric power in the

area.

Consumption

Coal consumption in the United States in 2000 grew 3.5

percent to reach a level of 1,080.9 million short tons.

More than 90 percent of all coal was consumed in the

electric power sector. The 982.6 million short tons of coal

consumed in that sector does not include coal consumed

by cogeneration facilities reported in the industrial and

commercial sectors. Coal was used to produce 51.8

percent of all electricity generated in the United States

(Table ES1 and Figure ES3). Two factors affected the

growth in coal consumption for power generation in

2000. The increase of 35.8 million short tons for the

generation of electricity was in part a result of a decline

in hydroelectric generation in 2000. Hydroelectric

generation show a drop of 40.3 billion kilowatthours

from the 1999 level.

The other factor affecting the higher level of consumption was weather. The summer of 2000 was warmer in

some parts of the country than it was in 1999. During

June through September, the Mountain Census Division

experienced growth in cooling-degree days of more than

16 percent than the same period in 1999. During August

2000, the East North Central and West North Central

Census Divisions had a higher number of cooling-degree

days, 29 and 38 percent, respectively, when compared to

August 1999. In addition, the cooler than normal

weather across most of the nation during April,

November, and December also resulted in higher coal

consumption for electricity generation. Six of the nine

Census Divisions (New England, Middle Atlantic, East

North Central, West North Central, South Atlantic, and

East South Central) had a rise in heating-degree days in

April compared with April 1999, ranging from 6.6 to

69.7 percent higher. During November and December

2000, all nine Census Divisions had growth in heatingdegree days, compared with the same period in 1999.

These changes in weather resulted in increased coal

consumption for electricity generation for the year in

every Census Division except the West South Central.

The West South Central Census Division had a significant increase in natural gas-fired generation, which

resulted in a decrease in coal consumption for generation of 1.7 million short tons (1.2 percent).

Coal use in the non-electric power sector increased in

2000 for the first time in 6 years. While there was a

decline (15.7 percent) in coal consumed in the residential/commercial sector, consumption by coke plants

and other industrial plants increased. Coal consumed at

coke plants increased in 2000 by 0.8 million short tons,

up of 3 percent. This increase was reflective of a 3.5

percent increase in pig iron production in the United

States (Figure ES5).

Coal prices, on an annual basis, declined in 2000,

continuing the downward trend of the last several years.

Although there were higher prices for some of the

consuming sectors as a result of the increasing fuel costs

at the end of the year (on a delivered basis), the average

price of utility coal (on a delivered basis) declined 1.8

percent, for an annual average of $24.28 per short ton

(120.1 cents per million Btu). Coking coal prices dropped

to $44.37 per short ton, a 3.2-percent decline over the

1999 price. The price of other industrial steam coal was

slightly lower in 2000 with an annual average price of

$31.44 per short ton (Figure ES6).

Exports and Imports

ExportsCIn 2000, total U.S. coal exports remained unchanged from 1999 at 58.5 million short tons, reversing

a 3-year declining trend (Figure ES7). The highly competitive world coal market was again dominated by

Australia, the leadingcoal-exporting country. The strong

U.S. dollar in 1999 and 2000 gave an edge to other coalexporting countries when contract prices were negotiated. Metallurgical coal exports increased in 2000 by 2.2

percent, regaining some of the loss experienced in 1999.

The slight boost in metallurgical coal exports was helped

by the world wide demand for steel, as well as a price

drop of 7 percent on a per ton f.a.s. basis for metallurgical coal exports. The average price per ton dropped

from $41.91 in 1999 to $38.99, a price that has not been

seen in decades. Of the major U.S. buyers of metallurgical coal, Belgium and Luxembourg, Brazil, Spain,

and Turkey each increased their imports of U.S.

metallurgical coal. Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Korea,

the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, all imported

less metallurgical coal in 2000. Reflecting the competitiveness in the Asian market, U.S. exports of

metallurgical coal to the region declined in 2000 by 42

percent. Japan imported less than 1 million short tons in

2000, a drop of 57.6 percent, and Korea imported 29.5

percent less coal than in 1999.

The market for U.S. steam coal exports dropped somewhat in 2000. Total steam coal exports were down (by

2.6 percent) to a level of 25.7 million short tons, down

from 26.3 million short tons in 1999. Canada represented

the largest steam coal export market for the United

States, accounting for 58.1 percent of all steam coal

exports in 2000, despite the 4.1 percent drop from the

1999 level. Other major declines in steam coal exports

were experienced in Mexico (1 million short tons) and in

China, (0.8 million short tons). Although total steam coal

exports were down overall, Japan and the United

Kingdom increased their share of U.S. steam coal

exports. The increases of 38.1 percent for the United

Kingdom and 28.2 percent for Japan were not enough to

compensate for the declines by other countries. The f.a.s.

price of steam coal declined by only 0.8 percent in 2000

to $29.67 per short ton.

ImportsCCoal imports, although an extremely small

part of the total U.S. coal supply (less than 1 percent of

total consumption), increased dramatically in 2000. Total

coal imports were 12.5 million short tons, an increase of

37.7 percent (Figure ES7). The rise in imports in 2000

was attributable to the heightened demand for lowsulfur coal to meet the stricter sulfur emission requirements of Phase II of the Clean Air Act Amendments

(CAAA) of 1990. Electric utilities accounted for 60

percent of all coal imports with other power producers

accounting for approximately 20 percent. A significant

portion of the increase can be attributed to higher

receipts of imported coal by utilities in Alabama. The

average price of U.S. coal imports for 2000 was $30.10

per short ton, only slightly less than the 1999 value of

$30.77 per short ton. Colombia remained the largest

supplier of U.S. coal imports with 7.6 million short tons,

or 61 percent of all coal imports. Venezuela and Canada

followed with 2 million short tons and 1.9 million short

tons, respectively.

Stocks

Coal stocks at the end of 2000 totaled 140.1 million short

tons, a drop of 43.4 million short tons (Figure ES8).

Stocks held by coal producers and distributors fell by 7.6

million short tons, a decrease of 19.2 percent. Industrial

users, including coke plants, held a total of 6.1 million

short tons, a decrease of 1.4 million short tons. Coal

stocks in the electric power sector declined by 34.4

3 Mines that have any production from longwall mining method. A typical longwall mining operation uses 80 percent longwall mining and 20 percent

continuous mining.

4 Mines that produce coal using shortwall, scoop loading, hand loading, or other mining methods or a 50/50 percent continuous/conventional split in

mining method, or mines that produce less than 10,000 short tons, which are not required to provide data.

1 The coalbed ID number is a unique code assigned by EIA to each correlated coalbed or to coal-bearing geologic formations, coal groups, or coal

zones. 2 The coalbed name given is the name most commonly used in the State having the greatest production from that coalbed. The States having the

greatest production for each coalbed are: Eastern Kentucky (coalbeds 0111, 0135, 0151, 0168, 0176); West Virginia (0036, 0084, 0103, 0344); Pennsylvania (0071);Western Kentucky (0489); Illinois (0484); North Dakota (1569); Montana (1808); Wyoming (1699). In some other States where these are major producing beds, the following alternate coalbed names are also used: 0084, No. 5 Block (Eastern Kentucky); 0111, Coalburg (West Virginia); 0135,

Chilton (West Virginia); 0151, Jellico (Tennesee), Taggert (Virginia), Cedar Grove (West Virginia); 0168, No. 2 Gas (West Virginia); 0176, Middle Eagle

(West Virginia); 0484, No. 11 (Western Kentucky); 0489, No. 5 (Illinois and Indiana).

3 Average thickness is the bed thickness weighted by bed production.

4 Includes mines with production of less than 10,000 short tons, which are not required to provide data. NA Not available.

Notes: Coal production excludes silt, culm, refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge operations except for Pennsylvania anthracite. A major coalbed is

defined here as a coalbed from which 10 million or more short tons were produced during the year. The category ‘‘Other Coalbeds’’ includes all coalbeds from which less than 10 million short tons were produced during the year. In some regions, coalbeds are characteristically discontinuous or uncorrelatable from one location to another, and production is identified by the geological formations, coal groups, or coal zones of the native rock where the

coalbeds occur. These types of coalbeds are found primarily in the Rocky Mountain States and even in the Gulf Coast lignite belt. Coalbeds of these

types are also included in ‘‘Other Coalbeds,’’ even though production may exceed 10 million short tons. Totals may not equal sum of components due to

independent rounding.

1 For a definition of coal-producing regions, see Appendix C. w Withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company data.

Notes: Productivity is calculated by dividing total coal production by the total direct labor hours worked by all employees engaged in production, preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair, and shop or yard work at mining operations, including office workers. Productive capacity is the maximum amount of coal that can be produced annually as reported by mining companies on Form EIA-7A. Capacity utilization is the ratio of total production

to annual productive capacity as reported by mining companies on Form EIA-7A. Excludes silt, culm, refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge operations except for Pennsylvania anthracite. Excludes mines producing less than 10,000 short tons and preparation plants with less than 5,000 employee hours, which

are not required to provide data. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

Notes: Recoverable reserves represent the quantity of coal that can be recovered (i.e., mined) from existing coal reserves at reporting mines. Productive capacity is the maximum amount of coal that can be produced annually as reported by mining companies on Form EIA-7A. Capacity utilization is the

ratio of total production to productive capacity as reported by mining companies on Form EIA-7A. Excludes silt, culm, refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge

operations except for Pennsylvania anthracite. Excludes mines producing less than 10,000 short tons, which are not required to provide data. Totals may

Notes: Scale has been enlarged to show detail in the short tons per miner per hour by type of mining plot. Because vertical scales differ,

graphs should not be compared; excludes silt, culm, refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge operations except for Pennsylvania anthracite;

excludes mines producing less than 10,000 short tons of coal during the year and preparation plants with less than 5,000 employee hours;

includes all employees engaged in production, preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair, shop or yard work at mining

operations; excludes office workers; includes mining operations management and all technical and engineering personnel. Short tons

produced per miner per hour is calculated by dividing total coal production by the direct labor hours worked by all mine employees.

1 Mines that produce greater than 50 percent of coal by continuous mining method.

2 Mines that produce greater than 50 percent of coal by conventional mining method.

3 Mines that have any production from longwall mining method. A typical longwall mining operation uses 80 percent longwall mining and 20 percent

continuous mining.

4 Mines that produce coal using shortwall, scoop loading, hand loading, or other mining methods or a 50/50 percent continuous/conventional split in

mining method, or mines that produce less than 10,000 short tons, which are not required to provide data.

Notes: For each State, stand alone preparation plant hours are distributed across the mining methods by the proportion of production for all stand

alone mines. Productivity is calculated by dividing total coal production by the total direct labor hours worked by all employees engaged in production,

preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair, shop or yard work at mining operations, including office workers. Excludes mines producing

less than 10,000 short tons of coal during the year, and preparation plants with less than 5,000 employee hours, which are not required to provide data.

Notes: Major coal-exporting States are those with total coal exports of over 500,000 short tons in 2000. Totals may not equal sum of components

due to independent rounding.

Sources: Values shown for destinations other than Canada and Mexico are estimates based upon information reported on Energy Information Administration Form EIA-6A, ‘‘Coal Distribution Report,’’ and coal export data presented in King’s COALBASE (King Publishing Corporation, Knoxville, Tennessee). See the Explanatory Notes for a complete description of the methodology used to develop these estimates. Values shown for Canada and Mexico

are based upon Form EIA-6A.

Figure 12. Coal Prices, 1990-2000

 Notes: Average mine prices exclude mines producing less than 10,000 short tons of coal during the year. Mine

Price is calculated by dividing the total free on board (f.o.b.) mine value of the coal produced by the total

production. Consumer Price is based on the cost including insurance and freight (C.I.F. cost) for electric utilities,

and insurance, freight and taxes for manufacturing and coke plants, and does not include the residential and

commercial sector. Export Price is based on the free alongside ship (f.a.s.) value. Import Price is based on the

customers import value.

Notes: For 1997 and prior years, average mine price is calculated by dividing the total free on board (f.o.b.) mine value of the coal produced by the

total production. For 1998 and forward, average mine price is calculated by dividing the total free on board (f.o.b.) rail/barge value of the coal sold by the

total coal sold. A measure of dispersion of the 2000 average prices at the State level (interquartile range) is given in Appendix D, Table D1. Excludes silt,

1 For 1991, the Form EIA-7A solicited data on ‘‘Annual Productive Capacity.’’ However, that data was not verified with the respondents and as a result

it is not releasable.

2 Capacity utilization (percent) is the ratio of total production to annual productive capacity as reported by mining companies on Form EIA-7A. Productivity (short tons per miner per hour) is calculated by dividing total coal production by the total direct labor hours worked by all employees engaged in production, preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair, and shop or yard work at mining operations.

3 Imports for 1996 through 2000 include imports to electric utilities, manufacturing plants and coke plants. Imports for 1991 include only imports to electric utilities.

Metric Tables

In response to requests from international users of

U.S. coal statistics, certain summary data have been

converted from the customary short tons to metric.

This enables U.S. statistics to be compared with data

published by countries using the metric system. The

conversion to metric tons is made by multiplying

short tons by 0.907185.

The data converted to metric tons are from Tables

ES3, 1, 16, 25, 35, 48, 67, 68, 76, 80, 92, 94, 96, 98,

* Data round to zero.

NM Not meaningful as value is greater than 500 percent.

Notes: Productivity is calculated by dividing total coal production by the total direct labor hours worked by all employees engaged in production, preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair, shop or yard work at mining operations, including office workers for 1998 forward. For 1997 and

prior years, includes mining operations management and all technical and engineering personnel, excluding office workers. Excludes silt, culm, refuse bank,

slurry dam, and dredge operations except for Pennsylvania anthracite. Excludes mines producing less than 10,000 short tons, which are not required to

provide data.

* Data round to zero.

w Withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company data.

Notes: Average mine price is calculated by dividing the total free on board (f.o.b.) mine value of the coal produced by the total production for 1997

and prior years. For 1998 and forward, average mine price is calculated by dividing the total free on board (f.o.b.) rail/barge value of the coal sold by the

total coal sold. A measure of dispersion of the 2000 average prices at the State level (interquartile range) is given in Appendix D, Table D1. Excludes silt,

culm, refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge operations except for Pennsylvania anthracite. Excludes mines producing less than 10,000 short tons, which are

not required to provide data.

Explanatory Notes

Data Sources

All data in this report were collected by the Energy

Information Administration (EIA), U.S. Department

of Energy (DOE), except: import and export data,

which were collected by the Bureau of the Census

(Census Bureau), U.S. Department of Commerce; supplemental export data which were collected by King's

Publishing Corporation, Knoxville, Tennessee;

Federal and Indian land leasing data which were collected by the U.S. Department of the Interior (Bureau

of Land Management and Minerals Management

Service); and miner injury and fatality data which

were collected by the U.S. Department of Labor

(Mine Safety and Health Administration).

Coal Surveys

As early as the 1880's, the U.S. Geological Survey

began collecting coal data under a voluntary reporting

system. The responsibility for gathering this information was transferred to the Bureau of Mines in the

1920's, initially under the U.S. Department of Commerce and later under the U.S. Department of the

Interior, which published the data in its Minerals

Yearbook. Except for a brief period from 1937 to

1943, when bituminous coal data were collected under

the mandatory authority of the Bituminous Coal Act,

the Bureau of Mines continued to conduct voluntary

coal surveys until the Department of Energy was

created.

Coal Production Report (Form EIA-7A)

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) began

collecting annual coal production data on October 1,

1977. The 1998 coal production and identification

data in this report were collected on Form EIA-7A,

"Coal Production Report," and the U.S. Department of

Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration's

Form 7000-2, "Quarterly Mine Employment and Coal

Production Report" from companies that produced,

processed or prepared coal in 1998. All other data collected on Form EIA-7A are reported for only those

companies that owned a mining operation that

produced, prepared or processed 10,000 short tons or

more of coal in 1998 and preparation plants with

5,000 or more employee hours.

So that the EIA may fulfill its data collection functions as specified in the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-275), response to

this survey is mandatory. EIA compares respondents

to this survey with lists of mining operations maintained by various State coal mining/licensing agencies

and the Mine Safety and Health Administration

(MSHA), U.S. Department of Labor, to identify new

respondents. No sampling procedures are used. In

1998, there were 1,773 mining operations that

produced, processed, or prepared 10,000 or more short

tons of coal. All of the data were collected by mail

and were edited to ensure that they were complete and

accurate.

As in all surveys, data from Form EIA-7A, "Coal Production Report," are subject to various sources of

error: (1) coverage (the list of respondents may not be

complete or, on the other hand, there may be double

counting), (2) nonresponse (all units that are surveyed

may not respond or may not provide all the information requested), (3) respondents (respondents may

commit errors in reporting the data), (4) processing

(the data collection agency may lose or incorrectly

transcribe the submissions), (5) concept (the data collection elements may not measure the items they were

intended to measure), and (6) adjustment (errors may

be made in estimating values for missing data).

Because the annual coal production survey (Form

EIA-7A) is not a sample survey, the estimates shown

in this report are not subject to sampling error. 1 It is

1 Sampling error is a measure of the variation that occurs by chance because a sample rather than a complete enumeration of units is

surveyed.

not possible to present estimates of nonsampling

error, but precautionary steps were taken at each stage

of the survey design to minimize the possible occurrence of these errors. These steps are described as

follows.

team personnel. The editors screen the forms for legibility, completeness, and consistency. Names and

address changes are updated in the files. The reported

data are compared with data from previous years.

Inconsistencies are identified and the respondents

contacted for clarification. Computer edits are generated to identify keypunch errors, errors made by

coders, out-of-range codes, and unlikely data combinations. Errors are corrected to conform to the data on

the submissions or revised after telephone conversations with the company representatives. All changes

to reported data are documented. EIA maintains data

from the Form EIA-7A on an automated database at

its computing facility in Washington, D.C. The survey

forms are filed by EIA indetification number organized by State and county.

The survey forms were sent via regular mail in

January with a due date of April 2, 2001. Nonresponse

letters were mailed April 11 to those mining operations that had not submitted their forms. Subsequent

to the letter, attempts were made to contact, by telephone, those nonrespondents whose reported 2000

production was 100,000 short tons or more.

288 Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 2000
Some forms could not be delivered. Where possible,

address corrections were obtained. Some mining operations that had reported in earlier surveys or operated

only in 2000 were no longer in business.

Since 1992, California has not reported coal production as the courts determined that the product

mined in that State did not meet the standard classification for coal.

Missing coalbed classification, coalbed thickness,

and coal rank/group data were estimated using State

mining agency production reports, geological data,

and previous years' reports for these mines.

When a mine had a missing disposition value, its disposition was multiplied by the county-level average

mine price to estimate the value. County-level average

mine prices were calculated by dividing the total

value for the appropriate disposition (open/captive)

and the type of mining (underground or surface) by

the corresponding total disposition. All missing disposition was classified as open market unless information was available to classify it as captive. Of those

mines whose production was 10,000 or more short

tons, value data were estimated for 129 mines, representing 1.2 percent (13.4 million short tons) of the disposition total.

When an underground mine had unreported mining

method, it was assumed that the mining method was

conventional.

Missing recoverable coal reserves data were estimated by using the mine's 1999 recoverable reserves

minus the mine's 2000 production. If this calculation

could not be made, the mine's projected production

for 2001 was used. If recoverable coal reserves for

1999 and 2000 and projected production for 2001

were all missing, no estimate was made. In 2000,

recoverable reserves were reported by or estimated for

1,045 mines, representing 1,056 million short tons, or

98.3 percent of the mines whose production exceeded

10,000 or more short tons.

Missing recovery percentage data were estimated by

using 2000 recovery percentage averages at the State

level for the appropriate type of mining (underground

or surface).

Missing productive capacity data were estimated by

assuming productive capacity was equal to 2000 production. If productive capacity was reported as less

than annual production, productive capacity was

equated to 2000 production. There were 312 in-scope

mines with production of 144.3 million short tons for

which 2000 production was used as a proxy for productive capacity, resulting in 100 percent capacity

utilization.

These mines included those with productive capacity

less than 1999 production, and mines that did not

report productive capacity and could not be contacted.

If these mines were excluded from the calculation of

percent utilization, the U.S. total becomes 79.28

versus 82.04, when those mines are included.

In 2000, there were 13 mines that produced 2.3

million short tons of refuse bituminous and

subbituminous coal. Those operations are not included

in this report.

In order to protect the confidentiality of individual

respondent's data, a policy was implemented to ensure

that the reporting of survey data on mine prices and

recoverable reserves in this publication would not

associate those data with a particular company. The

final phase in the data quality assurance and control

procedures is determining which data must be suppressed (withheld) during publication to provide the

necessary confidentiality for mines or companies that

represent a significant portion of a reported data cell.

All withholding analysis is done based upon production volumes. These procedures are performed as

follows:

1. Primary Withholding Based on the Number of

Respondents in a Cell -- All cells with three or

fewer active coal mining operations are suppressed.

2. Residual Withholding Dominance Rule Phase 1

All cells containing between 4 and 10 active coal

mining operations are examined. A cell is suppressed if any single respondent accounts for 75

percent or more of the volume for all respondents

included in that cell.

3. Residual Withholding Dominance Rule Phase 2

All cells in which two active coal mining operations represent 90 percent or more of the volume

for all respondents included in that cell are suppressed.

4. Complementary Suppression -- All tables are

reviewed to identify cells which should have data

withheld to prevent disclosure of already suppressed cells. An example of cells to be withheld

during complementary suppression is underground

price, if the surface price is withheld during

primary or residual suppression. Because the total

price is published, if the underground price is not

withheld, the surface price could be calculated

using the total price, the underground price, and

the underground, surface, and total volumes.

5. Most complementary suppression involves type of

mining considerations. Other complementary suppression is based on regional level data. A State

or region must be withheld during complementary

suppression because an already withheld State

could be calculated using other States and the

regional total. Cells are also selected for complementary suppression that represent the smallest

volumes or that were withheld in prior years.

6. Inter-table effects are also examined regarding

complementary suppression. For example, States

that are withheld in one State table can influence

the complementary suppression of an associated

State table. This analysis is very similar to that

done at the regional level, except that two tables

are involved rather than one. Finally, similar

tables are reviewed to ensure that all like suppressed cells are consistently withheld (suppressed) in all tables in which they appear.

Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 2000 289 
The withholding/suppression of data is performed as

an adjunct to the quality assurance (QA) procedures.

The work is performed by survey editors, and the QA

staff and is reviewed by the survey manager before

being submitted to division-level QA review.

All sensitive cells identified in withholding analysis

are denoted with the symbol/letter "w." The use of the

symbol/letter applies to primary, complementary and

inter-table suppressions as well as all withheld data.

The symbol/letter "w" is footnoted as follows: "w

Withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company

data."

The interquartile range is a measure of dispersion of

State-level average mine prices. Two States may have

the same average mine price, but the spread about this

price may be totally different. For a fixed average

mine price, a larger interquartile range suggests a

broader distribution of coal prices than a smaller

interquartile range. The summary statistics (Table D2)

given in this publication are weighted by production.

The interquartile range (weighted by production) is

computed in the following manner:

• Each cell is sorted according to average mine

price, from the lowest to the highest.

• For each cell, the corresponding mine's production according to increasing average mine

price is divided by that particular cell's total production and multiplied by 100. These percentages

are then added as a cumulative percentage of production.

• The first quartile (Q1) is the associated mine price

for which the cumulative percentage of production first passes 25 percent. Thus, at least 25

percent of that cell's total production is identified

with prices at or lower than Q1.

• The third quartile (Q3), is the associated mine

price for which the cumulative percentage of production first passes 75 percent. Thus, at least 75

percent of that cell's total production is identified

with prices at or lower than Q3.

The interquartile range is Q3-Q1.

Quarterly Coal Consumption Report -

Manufacturing Plants (Form EIA-3)

Form EIA-3 is used to survey U.S. manufacturers that

consume 1,000 tons or more of coal per year for all

uses other than coke production. These data were collected on a monthly basis until 1980, when the

reporting cycle was revised to a quarterly schedule.

Data on manufacturers' coal stocks, receipts, prices,

and consumption are reported.

Through the end of 1988, all manufacturers that consumed coal were required to file Form EIA-3. Beginning with the first quarter of 1989, only those

manufacturers that consumed 1,000 or more tons in

the past year were required to report. In 2000, 552

manufacturers responded to the EIA-3 survey. The

response rate for the year was 100 percent. In order to

identify undercoverage problems, the data from this

survey are compared with shipments to manufacturers reported on EIA's "Coal Distribution Report,"

Form EIA-6A. At present, the coal receipts reported

by manufacturers on Form EIA-3 cover approximately 99 percent of the coal shipments to manufacturers on Form EIA-6A. Consequently, the coal

consumption data gathered on the Form EIA-3 do not

represent the total consumption at manufac- turing

plants. See Technical Note 5 for data adjustment procedures for coal consumption for the other industrial

sector.

Current year data from this survey are preliminary and

unrevised in the January - March, April - June, and

July - September issues of the Quarterly Coal Report

(DOE/EIA-0121). In the October - December issue,

any revisions necessary for the entire year are applied

and the data are considered final.

The respondent list of manufacturers for Form EIA-3

is compared with lists of coal-consuming manufacturing plants from State Air Quality and Energy

Offices. When new respondents are found, they are

added to the survey mailing list.

Annual Coal Quality Report -

Manufacturing Plants (Form EIA-3A)

Form EIA-3A contains questions on the origin of coal

(State or Country), the quantity of coal receipts, the

Btu, sulfur and ash content of the coal receipts, and

the basis used to determine the coal quality data. The

threshold for the annual collection will be the same as

for the EIA-3: manufacturing plants that consume in

excess of 1,000 short tons of coal per per year. In

2000, 552 manufacturers responded to the EIA-3A

survey. The response rate for the year was 100

percent.

Coke Plant Report (Form EIA-5)

Form EIA-5, a quarterly report of coal receipts,

carbonization, and stocks, and of coke and breeze production, distribution, and stocks, is used to survey all

U.S. coke plants.

Coke plants were surveyed monthly and a supplemental survey was taken annually until 1981, when

the reporting cycle was revised to a quarterly schedule

with an annual supplemental survey. In 1985, collection of the annual supplement was ended.

In 2000, there were 23 respondents to the EIA-5

survey, and the response rate was 100 percent. The

respondent list for this survey is updated by continuous monitoring of the industry literature.

Current year data from this survey are preliminary and

unrevised in the January - March, April - June, and

July - September issues of the Quarterly Coal Report

(DOE/EIA-0121). In the October - December issue,

any revisions necessary for the entire year are applied

and the data are considered final.

290 Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 2000
Annual Coal Quality Report - Coke

Plants (Form EIA-5A)

This form contains questions on the origin of coal

(State or country), the quantity of coal receipts, the

volatile matter, sulfur and ash content, and the basis

used to determine the coal quality data. There is no

threshold for this form. In 2000, there were 23

respondents to the EIA-5A survey, and the response

rate was 100 percent.

Coal Distribution Report (Form EIA-6A)

Form EIA-6A is used to survey all U.S. companies

(producers and/or distributors) that own or purchase

and distribute more than 50,000 short tons annually.2

Data on coal production and purchases, distribution

by consumer category, and method of transportation

are reported.

In 2000, there were about 920 respondents to the

EIA-6A survey. Until the end of 1988, coal distribution companies were required to report production on

a Bureau of Mines district basis. For the year 1989,

respondents were required to report on a BOM

district/State basis. Beginning with the first quarter of

1990, respondents were required to report on a State

basis. The response rate for the current quarter was

100 percent. The annual production total reported on

Form EIA-6A exceeds 99 percent of total production

as reported by all mines on Form EIA-7A, "Coal Production Report," due to the difference in reporting

thresholds. The data gathered on the Form EIA-6A

only represent the domestic coal distributed; therefore, imported coal distributed during the quarters is

not included.

Current year data from this survey are preliminary and

unrevised in the January - March, April - June, and

July - September issued of the Quarterly Coal Report

(DOE/EIA-0121). In the October - December issue,

any revisions necessary for the entire year are applied

and the data are considered final.

The respondent list for this survey is updated by comparing it with lists of coal producers from the Mine

Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), U.S.

Department of Labor, and from similar lists maintained by various State agencies. Also, new respondents are frequently identified on Form EIA-6A itself

when other companies are named as sources of coal

purchases.

Electric Utility Surveys

Coal data appear in this report from three surveys of

electric utilities --from all generating electric utilities

and from fossil-fueled plants.

The Census Bureau collected and published the results

of a census taken every 5 years from 1902 to 1937 on

the electric light and power industries and some data

on industrial production of electric energy. The U.S.

Geological Survey collected data on capacity and generation of electric utilities from 1920 to 1936, when

this activity was turned over to the Federal Power

Commission (FPC).

All data are presented as reported on the surveys. No

estimates or other adjustments are made for missing

data. The data are maintained in a computer system

and are edited to ensure that they are reasonable, consistent, and complete. For additional information from

these surveys and for other electric utility data, see

the EIA publication, Electric Power Monthly

(DOE/EIA-0226).

Monthly Power Plant Report (Form

EIA-759)

Form EIA-759 (which, until 1982, was called FPC

Form 4) is used to survey all generating electric utilities. The Federal Power Act and FPC Order Number

141 define the legislative authority to collect power

production data. Consumption and stocks of coal and

other fuels at each plant are reported. The respondents

to Form EIA-759, approximately 700 plants,

accounted for 100 percent of total electric utility generation.

Beginning with the 1996 data collection, the Form

EIA-759 is a cutoff model sample of approximately

360 electric utilities drawn from the frame of all operators of electric utility plants (approximately 700

electric utilities) that generate electric power for

public use. Data will be collected on an annual basis

from the remaining operators of electric utiltiy plants.

The new monthly data collection is from all utilities

with at least one plant with a name- plate capacity of

25 megawatts or more. (Note: includes all nuclear

units). However, the few utilities that generate electricity by using renewable fuel sources other than

hydroelectric are all included in the sample. The Form

EIA-759 is used to collect monthly data on net generation; consumption of coal, petroleum, and natural

gas; and end-of-the-month stocks of coal and petroleum for each plant by fuel-type combination.

Current year data from this survey are considered

final.

2 For the States of Arkansas, Maryland, Oklahoma, and the anthracite portion of Pennsylvania, the threshold is 10,000 tons.

Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 2000 291 
Monthly Report of Cost and Quality of

Fuels for Electric Plants (FERC Form

423)

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Form

423 is used to survey all fossil-fueled plants with a

total steam-generating capacity of 50 megawatts or

more. It is submitted by approximately 230 electric

utilities. (Before 1983, this form was called FPC Form

423, and all fossil-fueled plants with a total generating capacity of 25 megawatts or more were surveyed.) In 1972, the FPC issued Order Number 453,

which included the legislative authority to create

FERC Form 423. Cost, quality, and source of fuels

(by State or country of origin), including coal, are

reported. Current year data from this survey are considered final.

Annual Nonutility Power Producer

Report (Form EIA-867)

The Form EIA-867 is a restricted-universe census

used to collect annual data from all existing and

planned nonutility power producers in the United

States during the years 1993 through 1997. In 1992,

the reporting threshold of the Form EIA-867 was

lowered to include all facilities with a combined

nameplate capacity of 1 or more megawatts. Previously data were collected every 3 years from facilities

with a nameplate capacity between 1 and 5 megawatts. For the purpose of this data collection, a nonutility power producer is an enterprise that has electric

generating capacity and is not an electric utility. They

include qualifying cogenerators, qualifying small

power producers, and other nonutility generators

(including independent power producers) without a

designated franchised service area. The form is used

to collect data on the installed capacity, energy consumption, generation, and electric energy sales to

electric utilities from approximately 2,000 facilities.

Annual Electric Generator Report -

Nonutility (Form EIA-860B)

The Form EIA-860B is a mandatory survey of all

existing and planned nonutility electric generating

facilities in the United States with a total generator

nameplate capacity of 1 or more megawatts. The form

is used to collect data on the installed capacity,

energy consumption, generation, and electric energy

sales to electric utilities and other nonutilities by

facility. Additionally, the form is used to collect data

on the quality of fuels burned and the types of environmental equipment used by the respondent. These

data are aggregated to provide geographic totals for

selected States and at the Census division and national

levels.

Export and Import Data

Export and import data (except imports to electric

utilities, manufacturing plants and coke plants, which

are reported on the FERC Form 423, EIA-3A, and

EIA-5A, respectively.) are obtained from the Census

Bureau--export data from the monthly EM 545 (formerly EM 522) report, import data from the monthly

IM 145 report. The Census Bureau compiles these

data monthly from documents filed with the U.S.

Customs Service as required by law. They include

shippers' export declaration forms, import entry

forms, and warehouse withdrawal forms. No sampling

procedures are used. The Census Bureau publication

Guide to Foreign Trade Statistics describes the

foreign trade statistics program, including the EM 545

and IM 145 monthly reports. Data from these surveys

are considered final at the time of publication.

Foreign distribution of U.S. coal, major exporting

State, and destination, along with foreign distribution

of metallurgical and steam coal (Tables 60, 61, and

62, respectively), was determined using EIA-6A distribution data by origin State, and coal export data

from King's COALBASE (King Publishing Corporation, Knoxville, Tennessee) which gives the

metallurgical and steam breakdown as well as the

country destination data. The percentage of

metallurgical and steam coal for each country of destination are applied to the EIA-6A export figures for

each State of origin to derive coal distribution data

that link State of origin to countries of destination by

type of coal. The King's destination country data are

considered to be more accurate than the Census

country-of-destination data because it account for

transhipments through intermediate countries to final

destination countries, whereas the Census data would

designate the destination as the intermediate country.

Copies of the survey forms and instructions used to

collect data appearing in this publication can be

obtained by calling EIA's National Energy Information Center at (202) 586-8800.

Technical Notes

1. Differences in Related Coal

Data

Coal Production versus Coal Distribution. Coal production represents newly mined coal. Coal distribution represents shipments of newly mined coal and

coal from producer/distributor stockpiles (previously

mined coal).

Coal Distribution versus Coal Receipts. Differences

in coal distribution data and coal receipts data are due

to the time lag between distribution and receipt of

coal shipments, and due to the survey threshold differences. In addition, coal distributed includes only

domestic coal, whereas receipts include imported

coal.

Foreign Distribution of U.S. Coal versus U.S. Coal

Exports. Foreign distribution of U.S. coal does not

equal U.S. coal exports because there are differences

in reporting time and survey thresholds.

Receipts of Imported Coal versus U.S. Coal Imports.

Receipts of imported coal at electric utilities and manufacturing and coke plants does not equal U.S. coal

imports due to reporting time differences. In addition,

it does not include receipts at independent power producers.

2. Other Industrial Plants and

Manufacturing

The other industrial plants end-use sector includes

the manufacturing, agriculture, forestry and fishing,

mining, and construction industries. Manufacturing

accounts for approximately 97 percent of the coal

receipts and consumption and 100 percent of the coal

stocks in the other industrial plants sector as reported

herein. Data sources for the other industrial plants

sector and the manufacturing sector are Forms

EIA-6A and EIA-3, respectively. The source statement in each table identifies the survey used to collect

coal data for the other industrial plants sector, and

the following technical notes describe the methodology used for deriving data.

3. Residential and

Commercial

To reduce the reporting burden to coal users, the EIA

does not conduct any survey of coal data from residential and commercial users of coal. Shipments of

coal to this sector, reported by producers and distributors of coal on Form EIA-6A, are equated to coal

receipts and consumption by the residential and commercial sector, assuming no stock changes.

4. Consumer Prices

Prices are derived for each end-use sector as follows:

Electric Utilities. Prices are reported for each plant in

cents-per-million Btu on FERC Form 423. The price

per ton of coal is calculated at each plant using centsper-million Btu and the average Btu content per pound

of coal for the appropriate rank of coal. The average

prices appearing in the tables (e.g., across all States)

are calculated by summing the dollar value at each

plant (short tons of coal multiplied by price per short

ton) and dividing by the corresponding total tons. For

more information about prices of coal at electric utilities, see the EIA publication, Electric Power Monthly

(DOE/EIA-0226).

Coke Plants. Respondents are asked to report the

number of tons of coal received (or coke distributed)

on Form EIA-5 and the total value of that coal (or

coke) in dollars. Average prices are calculated by

summing the reported values (e.g., across all States)

and dividing by the corresponding total tons.

Other Industrial Plants. Respondents (manufacturing

plants only) are asked to report the number of tons of

coal received on Form EIA-3 and the total value of

that coal in dollars. Average prices are calculated by

summing the reported values across all States and

dividing by the corresponding total tons.

Residential and Commercial. Data are not collected.

See Technical Note 3.

Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 2000 293 
5. Consumption

Annual Data

Annual coal consumption data are sums of quarterly

or monthly data described below except for nonutility

power producers whose coal consumption is not

included in this report. These data are however,

reported on Form EIA-867 and published in the Electric Power Annual (DOE/EIA-0348).

Electric Utilities. Consumption is reported on Form

EIA-759.

Nonutility Electric Generating Facilities. For 1997

and prior years, consumption is reported on Form

EIA-867. For 1998 and forward years, consumption

data is reported on the Form EIA-860B.

Coke Plants. Consumption is reported on Form

EIA-5.

Other Industrial Plants. In deriving a quarterly estimate for coal consumption for the other industrial

plants sector, the first step is to equate consumption

to beginning stocks plus receipts minus ending stocks.

In terms of an equation, consumption can be

expressed as C = Sb + R - Se, where Sb = beginning

stocks, R = receipts, and Se = ending stocks.

Therefore, consumption is C = (Sb - Se (change in

stocks)) + R. Next, stock change at the State level is

equated to the stock change for that State as reported

on Form EIA-3, receipts at the State level are derived

as described in Section 3, and a computed consumption is derived using the same equation for each State.

Finally, the quarterly consumption (C) at the State

level is equated to the maximum of the computed consumption at the State level, as previously described,

and the quarterly consumption for that State as

reported on Form EIA-3. This process ensures that

State-level consumption for the other industrial

plants sector is always greater than or equal to the

manufacturing sector consumption for that State.

Total quarterly consumption for the other industrial

plants sector is computed by summing the quarterly

State-level consumption figures.

Residential and Commercial. Shipments to the residential and commercial sector as reported on Form

EIA-6A are defined as consumption as well as

receipts for this end-use sector.

EIA publishes monthly estimates of coal consumption

in the Monthly Energy Review (DOE/EIA-0035).

Monthly coal consumption at electric utility plants is

derived directly from Form EIA-759. Prior to 1980,

monthly coal consumption at coke plants was derived

directly from Form EIA-5. For 1981 through 1987, it

was derived from the quarterly coal consumption

reported on Form EIA-5, using the ratios of monthly

to quarterly consumption in 1979, the last year that

coke plant data were collected monthly on Form

EIA-5. These ratios by month (January - December)

are 0.3377, 0.3200, 0.3423; 0.3529, 0.3462, 0.3009;

0.3364, 0.3347, 0.3289; and 0.3273, 0.3301, 0.3426.

Starting with 1988, monthly coal consumption at coke

plants is derived from quarterly coal consumption

reported on Form EIA-5, using ratios derived from

monthly data on raw steel production published by the

American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) on Form

AIS7. The ratio is the proportion of monthly raw steel

production from open hearth and basic oxygen process

furnaces to the quarterly raw steel production from

those furnace types.

Prior to 1978, coal consumption for the other industrial plants sector (i.e., industrial users minus coke

plants) was derived by using monthly data reported on

Form EIA-3 to modify baseline coal consumption

figures from the most recent Census of Manufactures

or Annual Survey of Manufactures, Bureau of the

Census, U.S. Department of Commerce. For 1978

through 1987, data from Forms EIA-3 and EIA-6A are

used to compute monthly coal consumption for the

other industrial plants sector.

Given the quarterly consumption for the other industrial plants sector (C), the monthly consumption for

the sector (Cm) is estimated for each month in the

quarter as Cm = (Cm3/C3) x C where Cm3/C3 is the

ratio of monthly to quarterly coal consumption as

reported on Form EIA-3. For the 1978 coal consumption figures, the ratios used are based on 1978 EIA-3

data. For 1979 through 1987, the ratios used are based

on the 1979 EIA-3 data. These 1979 ratios by month

(January - December) are 0.3593, 0.3264, 0.3143;

0.3485, 0.3332, 0.3183; 0.3317, 0.3407, 0.3276; and

0.3045, 0.3253, 0.3702.

Starting with 1988, monthly coal consumption for the

other industrial plants sector is derived from quarterly

coal consumption reported on Form EIA-3 using

monthly ratios derived from the industrial production

indices published by the Board of Governors of the

Federal Reserve System. Six major industry groups'

indices are used as the basis for calculating the

monthly ratios. These groups are food manufacturing

(North American Industry Classification System

(NAICS 311), paper manufacturing (NAICS 322),

chemicals manufacturing (NAICS 325), petroleum and

coal products (NAICs 324), nonmetallic mineral products (NAICS 327) and primary metal manufacturing

(NAICS 331).

The monthly ratios are computed as the monthly sum

of weighted indices as a proportion of the quarterly

sum of weighted indices, using the 1985 proportion as

the weight.

Prior to 1980, monthly coal consumption for the residential and commercial sector was derived by using

monthly data reported on Form EIA-2, "Monthly Coal

Report -- Retail Dealers and Upper Lake Docks," to

modify baseline coal consumption figures developed

by the Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior.

For 1980, the quarterly coal consumption figures in

the residential and commercial sector are converted

294 Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 2000
to monthly coal consumption figures using the ratios

of monthly to quarterly coal deliveries to this sector

in 1979 as reported on Form EIA-2. These 1979 ratios

by month (January-December) are 0.4002, 0.3502,

0.2496; 0.4805, 0.2901, 0.2294; 0.3126, 0.2952,

0.3922; and 0.2931, 0.3101, 0.3968. The 1981 and

1982 monthly coal consumption figures were derived

using the 1979 ratios but were also modified

according to heating/cooling degree-days. For 1983

through 1987, coal consumption figures are converted

to monthly coal consumption figures using only the

ratios of monthly to quarterly coal deliveries to this

sector in 1979.

Starting with 1988, monthly coal consumption figures

are derived using the monthly national average population weighted heating/cooling degree-days obtained

from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The ratio is the proportion of the monthly

national sum of heating and cooling degree-days to

the quarterly sum.

6. Stocks

Annual stocks are calculated at the end of the year or

the end of the fourth quarter. Coal stocks are derived

for each end-use sector as follows:

Electric Utilities. Stocks are reported on Form

EIA-759.

Coke Plants. Stocks are reported on Form EIA-5.

Other Industrial Plants. Stocks are reported on Form

EIA-3, i.e., stocks at manufacturing plants only.

other industrial plants and manufacturing plants.

Residential and Commercial. Data are not available.

See Technical Note 3.

Producer and Distributor. Stocks are reported on

Form EIA-6A.

8. Census Export and Import

Data

Export and import data are obtained from the Bureau

of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce, where

they are compiled monthly from documents filed with

the U.S. Customs Service, as required by law.

Each coal shipment is reported in short tons with corresponding total dollar values. EIA converts all value

data obtained from the Census Bureau to average

price data by dividing the dollar value by the quantity.

Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 2000 295 
Based on an analysis and sample validation of the

Census Bureau import and export data conducted by

the EIA, it was determined that some of the coal and

coke data collected from the Census Bureau may be

misleading or incorrect (particularly those data associated with very small quantities or very high prices).

Because of this, a methodology was developed to edit

the Census Bureau price data.

Prior to 1989, certain data cells had been suppressed

for publication purposes only: (1) average import coal

prices of $50.00 or more per short ton; (2) average

export coal prices of $60.00 or more per short ton; (3)

average coke prices of $200.00 or more per short ton;

(4) all percent changes of 500 percent or more.

Beginning with 1989, coal export data were categorized as metallurgical coal and steam coal, rather than

as bituminous steam coal, lignite, anthracite, and

bituminous metallurgical coal.

In addition, coal export tables were revised to present

those countries to which the United States exported

more than 50,000 short tons in the prior calendar year.

The remaining countries in each continent were aggregated in an "other" category. This reduces the number

of empty cells and highlights the major importers of

U.S. coal. All coke export and import, and coal import

countries and quantities are displayed.

The following methodology was used to derive the

typical average prices as presented in the price tables.

For all coal, a price distribution was derived from the

prior calendar year export price data. Since extreme

price variations in the Census Bureau data are the

exception rather than the rule, the price distribution

was used to identify a typical price range. The price

distribution, from low to high, along with the frequency of each price (quantity) was analyzed to determine the representative prices. The extreme prices at

both ends of the distribution were eliminated to arrive

at a price range that covered at least 90 percent of the

exports. This price range was considered to include

typical or representative prices. Considering the

records that fell within the typical price range, the

weighted average price was calculated by country of

destination and type of coal.

The same procedure was used to determine the typical

average prices of coal imports. In addition to the

average prices based on the above methodology, a

U.S. total row is presented in the price tables, which

represents the average price using all the Census

Bureau data.

For reporting purposes, the month of exportation

reflects the month in which the shipment leaves the

United States. The month of importation generally is

based on the month in which the U.S. Customs

Service releases the merchandise to the importer. For

both sets of data, however, there can exist a small

carry-over from the actual month of exportation or

importation to a subsequent month, usually the succeeding month. A number of factors in processing

account for this, e.g., late receipt of a document for an

end-of-month shipment, or rejection of a shipment by

the computer due to failure to meet established edit

criteria. These limitations should be considered when

making comparisons.

Based on the U.S. - Canada Free Trade Agreement, as

of January 1990, the U.S. Department of Commerce

began reporting statistics on U.S. exports to Canada

based on information on imports provided monthly by

the Canadian government.

Comparing Census reported imported coal figures in

Table 35 with EIA reported imported coal receipts at

electric utilities, manufacturers, and coke plants for

1997 shows a difference of about 1.3 million short

tons. The main reason for this is that the EIA receipts

data do not cover imported coal received by nonutility

power producers who are not in the manufacturing

sector.

The import data for the years 1994 through 1996 have

been revised. These revisons were done because of a

missed "Harmonized Tariff Schedule" code for a category of coal.

9. Revisions

All data published in this report are considered final.

The Office of Coal, Nuclear, Electric and Alternate

Fuels has adopted the following policy with respect to

the revision and correction of recurrent data in energy

publications:

1. Annual survey data collected by this office are published either as preliminary or final when first

appearing in a data report. Data initially released as

preliminary will be so noted in the report. These data

will be revised, if necessary, and declared final in the

next publication of the data.

2. All monthly and quarterly survey data collected by

this office are published as preliminary. These data

are revised only after the completion of the 12-month

cycle of the data. No revisions are made to the published data before this.

3. After data are published as final, corrections will

be made only in the event of a greater than one

percent difference at the national level. Corrections

for differences that are less than the 1-percent

threshold are left to the discretion of the Office

Director.

10. Price Data and Taxes

F.O.B. mine coal prices and prices of coal delivered

to or received by end-use consumers (electric utility

plants, manufacturing plants, and coke plants) as

reported in this publication include relevant local,

State and Federal excise and sales taxes.

Glossary

Agglomerating Character: Agglomeration describes

the caking properties of coal. Agglomerating character

is determined by examination and testing of the

residue when a small powdered sample is heated to

950 degrees centigrade under specified conditions. If

the sample is "agglomerating," the residue will be

coherent, show swelling or cell structure, and be

capable of supporting a 500-gram weight without

pulverizing.

Anthracite: A hard, black lustrous coal, often

referred to as hard coal, containing a high percentage

of fixed carbon and a low percentage of volatile

matter. Comprises three groups classified according to

the following ASTM Specification D388-91a, on a dry

mineral-matter-free (mmf) basis:

Fixed

Carbon Volatile

Limits Matter

GE LT GT LE

Meta-Anthracite 98 - - 2

Anthracite 92 98 2 8

Semianthracite 86 92 8 14

GE = Greater than or equal to

LT = Less than

GT = Greater than

LE = Less than or equal to

Anthracite coal is non-agglomerating.

If agglomerating, semianthracite is

classified in the low-volatile group

of the bituminous class.

Ash: Impurities consisting of silica, iron, alumina,

and other incombustible matter that are contained in

coal. Ash increases the weight of coal, adds to the

cost of handling, and can affect the burning characteristics. Ash content is measured as a percent by weight

of coal on an "as received" or a "dry" (moisture-free,

usually part of a laboratory analysis) basis.

Auger Mine: A surface mine where coal is recovered

through the use of a large-diameter drill driven into a

coalbed in a hillside. It usually follows contour

surface mining, particularly when the overburden is

too costly to excavate.

Average Annual Percent Change:

n

√ Vn 

V0

− 1 (1)

Where: V0 = the value for the base period.

Vn = the value for the nth period.

n = the number of periods.

Average Mine Price: The ratio of the total value of

the coal produced at the mine to the total production

tonnage. (See F.O.B. mine price and F.O.B rail/barge

price.)

Average Number of Miners: The arithmetic mean

number of miners working each day at a mining operation. Includes maintenance as well as production

work performed.

Average Production per Miner per Hour: The ratio

of the total production at a mining operation to the

total direct labor hours worked at the operation.

Average Quality of Coal: Refers to individual measurements such as heat value, fixed carbon, moisture,

ash, sulfur, phosphorus, major, minor, and trace elements, coking properties, petrologic properties, and

particular organic constituents. The individual quality

elements may be aggregated in various ways to classify coal for such special purposes as metallurgical,

gas, petrochemical, and blending usages.

Average Recovery Percentage: Average recovery

percentage represents the percentage of coal that can

be recovered from coal reserves at reporting mines,

averaged for all mines in the reported geographic

area.

Bituminous Coal: The most common coal. It is

dense and black (often with well-defined bands of

bright and dull material). Its moisture content is

usually less than 20 percent. It is used for generating

electricity, making coke, and for space heating. Comprises five groups classified according to ASTM

Specification D-388-91a, on a dry mineral-matter-free

mmf basis for fixed-carbon and volatile matter and a

moist mmf basis for calorific value. Coals having 69

percent or more fixed carbon on the dry, mineralmatter-free basis shall be classified according to fixed

carbon, regardless of calorific (heating) value. Highvolatile C bituminous coal is agglomerating, but other

bituminous coals are commonly agglomerating.

However, it is recognized that there may be

nonagglomerating varieties in these groups of the

bituminous class, and there are notable exceptions in

the high-volatile C bituminous group. Coals with less

than 69 percent fixed carbon, but with 14,000 or more

Btu per pound, are classified as high-volatile A

bituminous.

Cannel Coal: A variety of bituminous coal that is

noncaking, contains a high percentage of volatile

matter, ignites easily, and burns with a luminous

smokey flame.

Capacity Utilization: Capacity utilization is computed by dividing production by productive capacity

and multiplying by 100.

Captive Coal: Coal produced and consumed by the

mine operator, a subsidiary, or parent company (for

example, steel companies and electric utilities).

Carbon Dioxide: CO2 A colorless, odorless,

incombustible gas formed during combustion in

fossil-fuel electric generation plants.

Census Divisions: The nine geographic divisions of

the United States established by the Bureau of the

Census, U.S. Department of Commerce for statistical

analysis. The boundaries of Census divisions coincide

with State boundaries. In some cases, the Pacific

Division is subdivided into the Pacific Contiguous

and Pacific Noncontiguous areas.

by the total direct labor hours worked by all mine

employees.

Coal Preparation: The process of sizing and

cleaning coal to meet market specifications by

removing impurities such as rock, sulfur, etc. May

include crushing, screening, or mechanical cleaning.

Coal-Producing Regions: A geographic classification of coal-producing States. The States in the

Appalachian Region are Alabama, Georgia, eastern

Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,

Virginia, and West Virginia. The States in the Interior

Region are Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,

western Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma,

and Texas. The States in the Western Region are

Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Montana, New

Mexico, North Dakota, Utah, Washington, and

Wyoming.

and/or purchased coal originates are defined as

follows: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas,

California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,

Kentucky Eastern, Kentucky Western, Louisiana,

Maryland, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, North

Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania anthracite,

Pennsylvania bituminous, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,

Coal-Producing States are split in origin of coal, as

defined below:

• Kentucky, Eastern All mines located in counties

other than the Western Kentucky counties.

• Kentucky, Western All mines in the following

counties in Western Kentucky: Butler, Caldwell,

Christian, Crittenden, Daviess, Edmonson,

Nicholas, Pocahontas, Putnam, Raleigh, Summers,

Wayne, and Wyoming.

Coal Rank/Group: A classification of coal based on

fixed carbon, volatile matter, calorific (heating) value,

and agglomerating character. Coal is ranked progressively from lignite (least carbonaceous) to anthracite

(most carbonaceous). The rank of coal can also deter302 Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 2000
mined by measuring the reflectance of vitrinite, one of

several organic components of coal. The lower rank

coal can be classified based on heat content. The heat

content of the higher rank coals is generally above 14

thousand Btu per pound for each coal rank group

(except for meta-anthracite, which trends slightly

lower), and heat content ranges vary within a relatively narrow range. Since heat content is not a

dependable criterion for these higher rank coals, their

rank categories are instead described by degree of

metamorphism, or "coalification," a property that is

measured by fixed carbon content. Finally, the

agglomerating character of bituminous coals is a critical attribute for certain coal consumers, and thus

agglomerating character has come to define the distinctions between certain adjacent coal groups. Some

high-volatile C bituminous and subbituminous A coals

can be distinguished only on the basis of

agglomerating character. Percentages are based on dry

mineral-matter-free coal. Volatile matter (not shown)

is the complement of fixed carbon; that is, the percentages of fixed carbon and volatile matter sum to

100 percent. As fixed carbon percentage decreases,

therefore, volatile matter percentage increases by the

same amount.

Coal Stocks: The supply of coal at a mine, plant, or

utility at the end of the reporting period.

Coalbed: A bed or stratum of coal. Also called a

coal seam.

Cogenerator: A generating facility that produces

electricity and another form of useful thermal energy

(such as heat or steam) used for industrial, commercial, heating, and cooling purposes. To receive status

as a qualifying facility (QF) under the Public Utility

Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA), the facility must

produce electric energy and "another form of useful

thermal energy through the sequential use of energy,"

and meet certain ownership, operating, and efficiency

criteria established by the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (FERC). (See the Code of Federal Regulation, Title 18, Part 292.)

Coke (coal): In general, coke is made from

bituminous coal (or blends of bituminous coal) from

which the volatile constituents are driven off by

baking in an oven at temperatures as high as 2,000

degrees Fahrenheit, so that the fixed carbon and ash

are fused together. Coke is hard and porous, has a

gray, submetallic luster, and is strong enough to

support a load of iron ore in a blast furnace. It is used

both as a fuel and a reducing agent in smelting iron

ore in a blast furnace. Coke has a heating value of

24.8 million Btu per short ton.

Coke Plants: Plants where coal is carbonized in slot

or beehive ovens for the manufacture of coke.

Continuous Mining: A form of room-and-pillar

mining in which a continuous mining machine

extracts and removes coal from the working face in

one operation; no blasting is required.

Conventional Mining: The oldest form of room-andpillar mining which consists of a series of operations

that involve cutting the coalbed so it breaks easily

when blasted with explosives or high-pressure air, and

then loading the broken coal.

Cost, Insurance, Freight (CIF): A type of sale in

which the buyer of the product agrees to pay a unit

price that includes the F.O.B. value of the product at

the point of origin plus all costs of insurance and

transportation. This type of transaction differs from a

"delivered" purchase in that the buyer accepts the

quantity as determined at the loading port (as certified

by the Bill of Loading and Quality Report) rather than

pay on the basis of the quantity and quality ascertained at the unloading port. It is similar to the terms

of an F.O.B. sale, except that the seller, as a service

for which he is compensated, arranges for transportation and insurance.

Crude Oil: A mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in

liquid phase in underground reservoirs and remains

liquid at atmospheric pressure after passing through

surface-separating facilities. Included are lease

condensate and liquid hydrocarbons produced from tar

sands, gilsonite and oil shale. Drip gases are also

included, but topped crude (residual oil) and other

unfinished oils are excluded. Liquids produced at

natural gas processing plants and mixed with crude oil

are likewise excluded where identifiable. Crude oil is

considered as either domestic or foreign, according to

the following: or from its "outer continental shelf" as

defined in 43 U.S.C. 1331. States. Imported

Athabasca hydrocarbons are included.
