w/ Withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company data.
       Notes: Refer to the Classification of Coals by Rank table in Appendix C for coal rank definitions.  Productive capacity is the maximum amount of coal that can be produced annually as reported by mining companies on Form EIA-7A.  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.  Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
