Preface

The Quarterly Coal Report (QCR) provides data on 

U.S. coal production, exports, imports, receipts, prices, 

consumption, stocks, and coal quality in addition to data 

on U.S. coke production, consumption, stocks, imports,

and exports. The 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.

This report presents detailed quarterly data for July 

through September 2011 and the previous quarter, and 

aggregated historical data for 2005 through the third 

quarter of 2011. Beginning with 1st 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.

The Form EIA-6A survey has been discontinued and 

replaced by the addition of commercial and institutional 

coal users to the Form EIA-3 survey. Additionally, EIA 

has changed the title of the data series from “Residential 

and Commercial” to “Commercial and Institutional.” 

Beginning with 2nd Quarter 2011, data on co-firing fuels 

and carbon capture equipment will be included from the 

EIA-3 survey. Form EIA-5 data will include the heat 

content of coal. Both forms will collect data on coal 

origin by MSHA ID, mercury content, and commodity 

cost. 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.

All data for 2010 and prior years are final; all data for 

2011 are preliminary.

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.

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 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.

Note: 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.

2 Manufacturing plants only.

E Estimated

- = No data are reported.

Note: Total may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Beginning in 1999, the first three quarters of each year's data for Coal Producers and 

Distributors are estimated. Electric power sector stocks include anthracite, bituminous coal, sub-bituminous coal, and lignite, and exclude waste coal.
