Description (excerpt):
The Annual Coal Report (ACR) provides information about U.S. coal production, number of mines, productive capacity, recoverable reserves, employment, productivity, consumption, stocks, and prices to a wide audience, including Congress, federal and state agencies, the coal industry, and the general public. We publish this report to fulfill data collection and dissemination responsibilities under the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-275), as amended.
Coal production, number of mines, employment, and productivity are based on the U.S. Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration’s Form 7000-2, Quarterly Mine Employment and Coal Production Report. Productive capacity, recoverable reserves, and prices are based on our Form EIA-7A, Annual Survey of Coal Production and Preparation. Consumption and stocks are based on our survey forms. This report is our 46th annual report on the coal industry, and it continues the series formerly included in the Minerals Yearbook, which the U.S. Bureau of Mines previously published. All data for 2021 and previous years are final.
