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/ For a definition of coal-producing regions, see Appendix C.
* Data round to zero.
w/ Withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company data.
NA/ Not available.
       Notes: Productive capacity is the maximum amount of coal that can be produced annually as reported by mining companies on Form EIA-7A.  Excludes silt, culm, refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge operations except for Pennsylvania anthracite.  Excludes mines producing less than 10,000 short tons, which are not required to provide data.  Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
