NM/ Not meaningful as value is greater than 500 percent.
       Notes: Major coal-exporting States are those with total coal exports of over 500,000 short tons in 2000.  Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
       Sources: Values shown for destinations other than Canada and Mexico are estimates based upon information reported on Energy Information Administration Form EIA-6A, "Coal Distribution Report," and coal export data presented in King's COALBASE (King Publishing Corporation, Knoxville, Tennessee).  See the Explanatory Notes for a complete description of the methodology used to develop these estimates.  Values shown for Canada and Mexico are based upon Form EIA-6A.
