Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6475543
This report provides comprehensive information about coal production, exports, imports, receipts, consumption, and stocks in the United States. This issue, the third, shows detailed quarterly data for July to September 1982, aggregated quarterly historical and projected data for 1980 through 1983, and aggregated annual historical and projected data for 1960 through 1990. A percent change column has been added to many of the tables as an aid in spotting significant changes from one year to another. The nation's continued economic slump was evident in coal statistics for the third quarter of 1982: coal production totaled 198.0 million short tons - the lowest non-strike quarterly production total in 3 years; coal stocks held by coal producers and distributors continued to accumulate, reaching an unprecedented 39.7 million short tons; coke production plummeted to the lowest quarterly level in 49 years; electric utility coal consumption declined for the second quarter in a row from the corresponding 1981 figures; coal consumption in the other industrial and residential and commercial sectors decreased 6.2 percent from the third quarter 1981 level; coal exports declined 25.7 percent from the third quarter 1981 level; and the average price of coal received by consumers declined in all sectors. The feature article is entitled, A Regional Analysis of Future US Coal Production.
