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.
