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 2015 QCR includes detailed quarterly coal data for October – December 2015 and aggregated 

quarterly historical coal data for 2009 through fourth quarter 2015.

All data for 2014 and prior years are final. All data for 2015 are preliminary.

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.

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.
