U.S. Energy Information Administration/Quarterly Coal Report April - June 2012 iii

Preface 

Data presented in the QCR are collected and published 

by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) to 

fulfill data collection and dissemination responsibilities 

as specified in the Federal Energy Administration Act 

of 1974 (Public Law 93-275), as amended. 

The Quarterly Coal Report (QCR) presents U.S. coal 

production, exports, imports, receipts, prices, 

consumption, coal quality, and stocks data. In addition, 

the report offers U.S. coke production, consumption, 

stocks, imports, and exports data. This report includes 

detailed quarterly coal data for April-June 2012 and the 

second quarter 2011, and aggregated quarterly historical 

coal data for 2006 through 2nd Quarter 2012. 

Note, as of first quarter 2009, the QCR includes data for 

coke and breeze commercial sales, steam and 

metallurgical coal imports by Customs District, coke 

import and export prices, and average quality for 

receipts at commercial and institutional coal users. 

Other changes include the discontinuation of Form EIA6A survey. Form EIA-3 is now utilized to collect data 

from commercial and institutional coal users. EIA has 

changed the title of the data series from “Residential 

and Commercial” to “Commercial and Institutional.” 

Because the Form EIA-3 is a quarterly survey, EIA 

reports the commercial and institutional data with a lag 

of about 75 days, rather than ten months after the close 

of the year, as it did when data were collected on the 

annual Form EIA-6A survey. Form EIA-3 frame 

analysis has resulted in data adjustments and revisions 

in the quarterly data for 2011 through the first quarter of 

2012. Also, the Form EIA-3 frame has increased to 501 

respondents. A total of 33 refined coal and 

manufacturing facilities were added during the first six 

months of 2012. 

All data for 2010 and prior years are final. All data for 

2011 are final, with the exception of coal production 

and electric power sector consumption and stocks. All 

data for 2012 are preliminary.

 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. 2

 Includes countries with coal exports less than or equal to 50,000 short tons in 2011. 

 * Absolute percentage less than 0.05. 

 - = No data are reported. 

 NM = Not meaningful due to changes of 500 percent or more. 

 Note: • Total may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Average price is based on the free alongside ship (f.a.s.) value, including value for 

shipments of specialty coal not used as a fuel source (about 0.05% of all shipments).

 U.S. Total is the average price of all coal imports. 

 - = No data are reported. 

 Note: • Total may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Average price is based on the customs import value, including value for shipments of 

specialty coal not used as a fuel source (about 0.05% of all shipments). Customs import value is the price paid for merchandise when sold for exportation to the United States, 

excluding U.S. import duties, freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in bringing the merchandise to the United States. Coal imports include coal to Puerto Rico and the 

Virgin Islands.

 The electric power sector (electric utilities and independent power producers) comprises electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants whose primary 

business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public -- i.e. NAICS 22 plants. The reported coal consumption is the total for producing electricity and useful thermal 

output. 2

 Industrial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and a small number of industrial electricity-only plants. The reported coal consumption is the total for producing electricity and 

useful thermal output. 3

 All industrial sector fuel use other than in "Coke Plants" and "Industrial CHP." 

4

 Includes commercial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and a small number of commercial electricity-only plants, such as those at hospitals and universities. The reported 

coal consumption is the total for producing electricity and useful thermal output. 5

 All commercial sector fuel use other than that in "Commercial CHP" and residential sector.
