1/ For 1991, the Form EIA-7A solicited data on "Annual Productive Capacity." However, that data was not verified with the respondents and as a result it is not releasable. 2/ Capacity utilization (percent) is the ratio of total production to annual productive capacity as reported by mining companies on Form EIA-7A. Productivity (short tons per miner per hour) is calculated by dividing total coal production by the total direct labor hours worked by all employees engaged in production, preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair, and shop or yard work at mining operations. 3/ Includes Mexico. w/ Withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company data. NA/ Not available. R/ Revised Data. Notes: Excludes silt, culm, refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge operations except for Pennsylvania anthracite. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
