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.
w/ Withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company data.
NA/ Not available.
       Notes: Capacity utilization is the ratio of total production to annual productive capacity 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.
