Export trading companies: do they offer new opportunities for Appalachian coal. (From the series, Market Guide for Steam Coal Exports from Appalachia)

The publication from the series titled, Market Guide for Steam Coal Exports from Appalachia was written after the Export Trading Company act became law in October 1982. The results of a survey of major banks, coal producers, traders, and related organizations showed that while ETCs may offer some Appalachian coal producers the prospect of greater ability to compete in the export market, the achievement of such gains would be neither easy nor automatic. A knowledge gap in the Appalachian Region about ETC rules, regulations, and organizational requirements would have to be bridged before serious ETC activity could develop.
