       Notes: U.S.  Total for this table represents Federal and American Indian Leases only.  Output from Federal and American Indian Lands is reported as sales volume, the basis for royalties.  It is approximately equivalent to production, which includes coal sold and coal added to stockpiles.  Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
