NOTE: The Energy Information Administration (EIA) has revised weekly coal production estimates for 2008 to equal Quarter 1 MSHA 2008 surveyed data. The revised data are now included in the weekly coal tables starting with the week ending June 14, 2008.

What data are in the “Weekly Coal Production Report”?

The Weekly Coal Production (WCP) Report provides estimates for U.S. coal production by State based on railroad car loading data:
• The weekly version of the report contains data for the latest week.
• The monthly version of the report contains data for the latest month.

EIA also provides:
• weekly and monthly revised estimates from 1984 forward;
• original weekly estimates for all weeks starting with the first week of 2002 to the current week; and
• original monthly estimates for all months starting with January 2002 to the current month.

The data presented in the WCP Report are collected and published by the EIA to fulfill data collection and dissemination responsibilities as specified in the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-275), as amended.

How are the data revised?

EIA revises its first-round weekly estimates of State-level coal production using Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) quarterly coal production data. After revision, EIA’s State-level weekly numbers summed for the quarter, match the MSHA data.
