   [1] For a definition of coal producing regions, see the Glossary.
   [2] One Mine in New Mexico periodically produces both bituminous and subbituminous coal.  When this occurs, it is double counted as a subbituminous and bituminous mine, but is not double counted in the total.
   [3] Includes all mines and refuse recovery operations producing less than 10,000 short tons.
   [4] Excludes refuse recovery operations producing less than 10,000 short tons.
       Note:· Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
