1Beginning in 2001, includes a small amount of refuse recovery (coal recaptured from a refuse mine,
and cleaned to reduce the concentration of noncombustible materials).
6Through 1973, stock change is included in "Losses and Unaccounted for."
2Waste coal (including fine coal, coal obtained from a refuse bank or slurry dam, anthracite culm,
bituminous gob, and lignite waste) consumed by the electric power and industrial sectors.  Beginning in
1989, waste coal supplied is counted as a supply-side item to balance the same amount of waste coal
included in "Consumption."
R=Revised.  P=Preliminary.  NA=Not available.  (s)=Less than 0.05 million short tons.  
3Net imports equal imports minus exports.  Minus sign indicates exports are greater than imports. Notes:  ·  See Note 1, "Coal Consumption," at end of section.  ·  Totals may not equal sum of
components due to independent rounding.
4A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks; a positive value indicates an increase. Web Page:  For related information, see http://www.eia.doe.gov/fuelcoal.html.
5"Losses and Unaccounted for" is calculated as the sum of production, imports, and waste coal
supplied, minus exports, stock change, and consumption.
