Preface

Data presented in the Quarterly Coal Report (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, quality, 

stocks, and refined coal data. In addition, the QCR offers U.S. coke production, consumption, stocks, imports, and exports

data. The fourth quarter 2014 QCR includes detailed quarterly coal data for October – December 2014 and aggregated 

quarterly historical coal data for 2008 through fourth quarter 2014.

Starting with third quarter 2014, Form EIA-3, ‘Quarterly Coal Consumption and Quality Report - Manufacturing and

Transformation/Processing Coal Plants and Commercial and Institutional Users’ and Form EIA-5, ‘Quarterly Coal 

Consumption and Quality Report - Coke Plants’, are now collected under Form EIA-3, ‘Quarterly Survey of Non-Electric 

Sector Coal Data’. Additionally, beginning with the 2014 data year, Form EIA-7A, ‘Coal Production and Preparation Form’ 

has been renamed ‘Annual Survey of Coal Production and Preparation’ and Form EIA-8A, ‘Coal Stocks Report – Annual’, has 

been renamed ‘Annual Survey of Coal Stocks and Coal Exports.’

All data for 2013 and prior years are final. All data for 2014 are preliminary.

This replaces the Q4 2014 Quarterly Coal Report (Abbreviated) released April 2015 which did not include coal consumption, 

stocks, quality, receipts, and price data.

consumer stocks.
