MEMORANDUM 

TO: Judi Greenwald, EPA 

FROM: Craig D. Ebert, ICF ^ *> 

SUBJECT: Revised Industrial Coal Prices for Industrial NSPS Analyses 

This memorandum revises the coal prices to be used in the industrial NSPS 

analyses. The coal prices originally provided to EPA were developed in an 

earlier memorandum from Ken Schweers and Craig Ebert of ICF to Judi Greenwald 

at EPA entitled "Industrial Coal Prices for NSPS Analyses by Federal Regions" 

(April 22, 1983). As before, the prices are presented on a delivered basis 

for industrial consumers in each of the ten Federal regions for the forecast 

years of 1985, 1990, 1995, and 2000. 

Adjustments to Previous Prices 

The coal prices initially submitted to EPA for each of ten Federal 

regions were an aggregation of more detailed coal prices forecast by ICF's 

Coal and Electric Utilities Model (CEUM). The CEUM coal prices were based on 

the assumptions and macroeconomic specifications developed for the EPA Acid 

Rain Base Case and were identified for each of 46 demand regions in CEUM. 

Since the IFCAM model being used by EPA for the industrial NSPS analyses could 

not utilize prices at this level of detail, a method was developed to 

aggregate the CEUM prices to the Federal regional level (i.e., the smallest 

demand region employed in IFCAM). The exact procedures used to accomplish 

this aggregation are discussed in-depth in our April 22, 1983 memorandum cited 

earlier. 

For the revised coal prices presented in this memorandum, two basic 

changes were made to the original aggregation procedure: 

1. Originally, the price for each coal-type in each Federal 

region was determined by a weighted average of the price 

and amount of that coal-type consumed in the individual 

CEUM region as a proportion of total demand for that 

coal-type throughout the Federal region.1-

1 The 

^Th e term "coal-type" refers to the 12 representative coal 

classifications developed for this analysis from the 50 different coal 

categories specified in CEUM. The quality characteristics of the 

different coals were discussed in the April 22, 1983 memorandum cited 

above. The 12 coal classifications are listed in Attachments A and B of 

this memorandum. 
P.3

revised aggregated prices by coal-type presented herein 

. vere calculated by weighting each CEUM coal price 

according to the amount of all industrial coal required 

by each of the individual CEUM regions as a proportion 

of the total industrial coal demand throughout the 

Federal region. That is, the new weighting for each 

CEUM coal price is not the amount of demand for a 

specific coal-type, but the amount of all industrial 

demand (regardless of coal-type) as a proportion of 

total industrial demand throughout the Federal region. 

2. The original coal prices by CEUM region used to 

calculate the Federal regional prices were themselves a 

weighted average of the lowest coal prices for each 

coal-type in each CEUM demand region (usually the lowest 

four prices were used to calculate the composite 

price).iJ For the revised prices contained in this 

memorandum, this earlier weighting procedure is no 

longer used. Only the lowest delivered CEUM price for 

each coal-type is used to calculate the Federal regional 

prices. 

Rationale for the Price Adjustments 

The original aggregation procedure attempted to preserve some of the 

finer distinctions represented by the delivered prices and types of coal 

demanded in the CEUM regions. For example, in a particular Federal region, 

the cost of low sulfur subbituminous coal would approximate the delivered cost 

to those areas in the region likely to use low sulfur subbituminous coals. 

Implicit in this approach is the assumption that consumers would restrict 

their options to the types of coal likely to be consumed and delivered at a 

reasonable cost (e.g., Ohio facilities would not choose subbituminous coals, 

nor would facilities in Colorado import high sulfur bituminous coals). 

From the initial IFCAM demand forecasts received from EPA, it appeared 

that in most cases the original aggregation procedure worked quite well. 

However, in several instances, fuel selections were made chat did not appear 

reasonable. For example, much of the forecasted new demand in Region 6 was 

choosing low sulfur subbituminous coals, yet our analysis would suggest that 

most industrial facilities would choose bituminous, not subbituminous, coals. 

This difference turns out to be a problem of aggregation. The likely 

consumers of low sulfur subbituminous coals in Region 6 are industrial 

facilities in New Mexico, since these coals can be obtained from the nearby 

San Juan Basin. However, most of the industrial demand in Region 6 will be 

due to facilities in eastern Texas and Louisiana, which do not have a ready 

access to low sulfur subbituminous coals and would pay a significantly higher 

delivered price for these coals than industrial consumers in New Mexico. 

TT For a more in-depth discussion of this weighting procedure, see 

"Industrial Coal Prices For Industrial NSPS Analyses," memorandum from 

ICF to EPA, April 13, 1983, p. 11.

As the previous example demonstrates, it is impossible to select a single 

price for one type of coal to represent the cost for all industrial consumers 

in a Federal region. The initial aggregation procedure sought to preserve 

some of the distinctions within the Federal regions by the way in which the 

prices for the different coal-types were aggregated. However, because the 

decision model used by EPA was not structured to distinguish likely consumers 

of a particular coal type from unlikely consumers, some distortions, were 

created in the use of the aggregated prices. To minimize some of these 

distortions, another method of aggregating delivered coal prices was developed 

to provide a composite price for each coal type in each Federal region. 

The revised method chosen was to weight each coal price from each CEUM 

region by that CEUM region's proportion of total industrial demand within the 

broader Federal region, rather than just the demand for the specific coal-type 

(in both cases, the amount of demand in the CEUM region as a proportion of 

demand in the Federal region is the weighting factor). This aggregation 

procedure weights most heavily the price structure faced by those CEUM regions 

with the most industrial facilities. As a result, the composite prices 

developed for an entire Federal region now place more weight on the areas with 

the highest concentration of industrial activity. This approach may not 

adequately represent the likely costs faced by some consumers in the Federal 

region, but some loss of detail is unavoidable when aggregating to this 

level. This revised approach represents a reasonable compromise between the 

simplification necessary to develop a single set of prices at the Federal 

regional level and the detail possible with a more disaggregated analysis. 

The second change made in the aggregation procedure from the earlier 

price analysis was to use the lowest delivered coal price for each CEUM 

region, rather than a composite price developed from several o*f the lowest 

prices in each region. Originally, a composite price was developed for each 

CEUM region to avoid selecting a single low price that represented atypical 

coal supplies in the region. Since the new aggregation procedure selects a 

delivered price from all CEUM regions throughout the Federal region to 

determine a composite price, there is less concern that the composite price 

will be atypical. Therefore, the lowest delivered price from each CEUM region 

was used to determine the revised aggregated Federal regional prices. 

Revised Industrial Coal Prices 

Attachment A lists the revised industrial coal prices for the NSPS 

analyses. In comparison to the original prices, note that: 

• The prices for low sulfur bituminous coals have 

changed very little in most cases. This is because the 

prices for these coals to most regions were already 

adequately represented in the composite prices initially 

submitted (i.e., most CEUM regions already consumed some 

of these coals, so the cost of coal to most regions 

tended to be represented in the original composite 

price). 

ICF INCORPORATED 
P.5 

• 4 -

* The prices for higher sulfur bituminous coals have 

increased somewhat, particularly in the West. This 

occurs because those CEUM regions that did not consume 

these coals (due to their higher costs) were not 

originally included in the composite prices. By 

including them in the weighting procedure, the average 

price for these coals increases. 

• For similar reasons, the prices for subbituminous 

coals have increased significantly. The original prices 

for these coals were influenced too much by those 

regions that had comparatively easy access to these 

coals. The average price for these coals increases when 

other regions are included which face substantially 

higher delivered subbituminous coal prices. 

As mentioned before, there is no perfect way to select a single price for 

a particular coal-type to represent the full range of prices facing industrial 

consumers throughout a Federal region. In Attachment A we have developed a 

set of composite prices that reasonably reflects the cost options available to 

most consumers. However, some loss of precision is unavoidable since prices 

to some consumers will either be overstated or understated. 

To emphasize how much detail might be lost, Attachment B shows the range 

of coal prices that were used to develop the single composite prices in 

Attachment A. For those coal-types with a substantial range in prices, it is 

important to understand that some industrial consumers may not make the same 

investment decisions that a consumer facing the prices from Attachment A would 

make. As a result, the prices listed in Attachment A should be interpreted 

with great caution. If certain analytical results are being strongly driven 

by a particular price in Attachment A, we suggest that state-specific prices 

be used to provide perspective on the compliance strategies most likely to be 

pursued by industrial facilities.
