Preface

We publish this report to fulfill data collection and dissemination responsibilities under the Federal Energy 

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

The Quarterly Coal Report (QCR) provides information about U.S. coal production, exports, imports, receipts, 

prices, consumption, quality, and stocks to a wide audience, including Congress, federal and state agencies, the 

coal industry, and the general public. In addition, the QCR contains U.S. coke production, consumption, stocks, 

imports, and exports data. The fourth-quarter 2023 QCR includes detailed quarterly coal data from October

2023 to December 2023 and aggregated quarterly historical coal data for 2017 through 2023.

All data for 2022 and previous years are final. All data for 2023 are preliminary.

1 Includes refuse recovery.

2 Reported as of the last day of the quarter.

3 'Losses and Unaccounted For' is calculated as production plus imports plus waste coal supplied minus the change in producer and distributor stocks minus

consumption minus exports minus the change in consumer stocks.

* Estimated.

Note: Beginning with 1999, the first three quarters of Producer and Distributor Stocks data for each year are estimated. Total may not equal sum of components because

of independent rounding.

- = No data reported.

Note: 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 percent 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 incured in bringing the merchandise to the United States. Coal imports include coal to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Total may not equal sum of

components because of independent rounding.

1 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 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.' Excludes residential use.

Note: Total may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
