NEW 2002 Estimates: EIA has
revised its State-level estimates of 2002 coal production to match 2002 final MSHA data.
The revised 2002 estimates are entered in the December monthly table at the
sixth bullet below. The 2002 spreadsheets at hyperlinks: Weekly Revised Estimates and
Monthly Revised Estimates below, also have the revised estimates.
For 2002, the final revised estimate of U.S. coal production is 1.094 billion
short tons.
At the first bullet below,
tables containing original estimates for the current week
can be downloaded. At the second bullet below, EIA provides a spreadsheet,
containing ORIGINAL WEEKLY estimates for all weeks starting with the first
week in 2002.
At the third bullet below, EIA provides a spreadsheet,
containing ORIGINAL MONTHLY estimates for all months starting with January 2002.
Weekly Coal
Production
Users are encouraged to investigate the web pages where EIA has placed
weekly and monthly revised estimates. By clicking on the "revised" hyperlinks below,
users can access EIA's revised weekly and monthly estimates from 1984
forward.
As discussed on the "revised" web pages, 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. In 2001, MSHA discovered that some mines were not reporting clean coal
tons, rather they were including some tons of non-coal refuse material. The
inclusion of non-coal refuse material does not meet MSHA's request for only
clean coal production. MSHA contacted all refuse mines to determine which
ones were reporting clean coal and which were not. The mines that were not
reporting clean coal tons were asked to submit adjusted production numbers
for 2001 and in the future to only report clean tons as required. With this change,
anthracite production in Pennsylvania is being reported by MSHA at about one-third
the level reported previously because a large percentage of Pennsylvania anthracite
is recovered from culm banks containing significant amounts of non-coal material,
but only the clean coal tons are recorded by MSHA. To bring its estimates into line
with MSHA data, EIA has adjusted model factors applied to estimate
Pennsylvania anthracite weekly production. Consequently, users will see
about a 65 percent reduction in the weekly estimates of Pennsylvania
anthracite in EIA's weekly tables compared to previous estimates.
