A. PURPOSE The EIA-3 survey collects data from U.S. manufacturing plants on coal consumption, stocks, and receipts (quantity, cost, and
quality), and distribution of coal synfuel from coal synfuel plants. The data are collected to provide Congress with basic statistics concerning
coal consumption, stocks, prices, and quality as required by the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (FEAA) (P.L. 93-275) as amended.
These data appear in the Annual Coal Report, the Quarterly Coal Report, the Monthly Energy Review, and the Annual Energy Review. In
addition, the Energy Information Administration uses the data for coal demand analyses and in short-term modeling efforts, which produce
forecasts of coal demand and prices requested by Congress. The forecast data appear in the Short-Term Energy Outlook and the Annual
Energy Outlook.
B. WHO MUST SUBMIT All manufacturing facilities including coal synfuel plants that consume or use in excess of 1,000 short tons of
anthracite, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, lignite, or coal synfuel for uses other than coke production during a one-year period must
submit Form EIA-3. A one-year period is defined to be the current reporting quarter and the previous three reporting quarters. This requirement
includes all facilities using coal for gasification/liquefaction and coal used for feedstock. A separate EIA-3 form must be submitted for each
manufacturing plant, gasification/liquefaction plant, or coal synfuel plant consuming or using the coal.
C. WHEN TO SUBMIT Form EIA-3 must be submitted no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting quarter. The reporting quarters are as
follows: First Quarter, January 1 - March 31; Second Quarter, April 1 - June 30; Third Quarter, July 1 - September 30, Fourth Quarter,
October 1 - December 31. The respective due dates are May 1, August 1, November 1, and February 1.
D. WHERE TO SUBMIT

E. SANCTIONS The timely submission of Form EIA-3 by those required to report is mandatory under section 13(b) of the Federal Energy
Administration Act (FEAA) as amended. Failure to respond may result in a civil penalty of not more than $2,750 per day for each violation, or a
fine not more than $5,000 per day for each willful violation. Civil action may be enforced to prohibit reporting violations and may result in the
granting of a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction without bond. In such civil action, the court may also issue
mandatory injunctions commanding any person to comply with these reporting requirements.
F. DEFINITIONS:
CIF: Cost including insurance, freight, and taxes (i.e., the delivered cost at the plant).
Manufacturing Plant: A plant engaged in the mechanical or chemical transformation of materials or substances into finished or semi-finished
materials or products.
Coal Synfuel Plant: A plant engaged in the chemical transformation of coal into coal synfuel.
Primary Product: The type of output or merchandise of the manufacturing plant.
Coal Synfuel: Coal that has been processed by a coal synfuel plant; and coal-based fuels such as briquettes, pellets, or extrusions, which are
formed by binding materials and processes that recycle material.
Predominant Transportation Mode: The method used to transport coal over the majority of the distance from the coal origin to the consumer=s
location.
Waste coal: Usable coal material that is a byproduct of previous processing operations or is recaptured from what would otherwise be refuse.
Examples include anthracite culm, bituminous gob, fine coal, lignite waste, coal recovered from a refuse bank or slurry dam, and coal recovered
by dredging.
Bituminous coal: A dense coal, usually black, sometimes dark brown, often with well-defined bands of bright and dull material, used primarily
as fuel in steam-electric power generation, with substantial quantities also used for heat and power applications in manufacturing and to make
coke. Its moisture content usually is less than 20 percent. The heat content of bituminous coal ranges from 21 to 30 million Btu per ton on a
moist, mineral-matter-free basis. The heat content of bituminous coal consumed in the United States averages 24 million Btu per ton, on the asreceived basis (i.e., containing both inherent moisture and mineral matter).

Subbituminous coal: A coal whose properties range from those of lignite to those of bituminous coal and used primarily as fuel for steamelectric power generation. It may be dull, dark brown to black, soft and crumbly, at the lower end of the range, to bright, jet black, hard, and
relatively strong, at the upper end. Subbituminous coal contains 20 to 30 percent inherent moisture by weight. The heat content of
subbituminous coal ranges from 17 to 24 million Btu per ton on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis. The heat content of subbituminous coal
consumed in the United States averages 17 to 18 million Btu per ton, on the as-received basis (i.e., containing both inherent moisture and
mineral matter).
Lignite: The lowest rank of coal, often referred to as brown coal, used almost exclusively as fuel for steam-electric power generation. It is
brownish-black and has a high inherent moisture content, sometimes as high as 45 percent The heat content of lignite ranges from 9 to 17
million Btu per ton on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis. The heat content of lignite consumed in the United States averages 13 million Btu per
ton, on the as-received basis (i.e., containing both inherent moisture and mineral matter).
Anthracite: The highest rank of coal; used primarily for residential and commercial space heating. It is a hard, brittle, and black lustrous coal,
often referred to as hard coal, containing a high percentage of fixed carbon and a low percentage of volatile matter. The moisture content of
fresh-mined anthracite generally is less than 15 percent. The heat content of anthracite ranges from 22 to 28 million Btu per ton on a moist,
mineral-matter-free basis. The heat content of anthracite coal consumed in the United States averages 25 million Btu per ton, on the asreceived basis (i.e., containing both inherent moisture and mineral matter). Note: Since the 1980's, anthracite refuse or mine waste has been
used for steam electric power generation. This fuel typically has a heat content of 15 million Btu per ton or less.
G. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions for Section II - Coal Receipts, Consumption, and Stocks:
A. Ending Stocks Previous Quarter. In the event that the preprinted number is inaccurate, use the adjustment section either to add or subtract
the number of short tons that will make your prior quarter ending stocks number accurate (e.g., if the preprinted number is 500 tons low, put
+500 in the adjustment section.).
B. Total Receipts During the Quarter is the quantity of all coal received, including coal synfuel.
C. Quantity of Coal Consumed. For manufacturing plants (except coal synfuel plants) report consumption of all types of coal, including coal
synfuel. For coal synfuel plants, report the number of tons of coal used to produce coal synfuel.
D. The Adjustments section is used to report a change in stocks during the quarter due to any stock losses, reassessments, transfers to or
from other plants owned by the same parent company, or sales of coal stocks to other companies. Enter a “+” or “-“ to indicate whether the
adjustment is an addition or reduction to your facility’s stocks. Any entry in this space requires an explanation, which can be given in Section V.
E. Stocks at the End of the Quarter. This number is calculated by taking ending stocks prior quarter, adding quantity of coal received,
subtracting quantity of coal consumed, and adding or subtracting any adjustment value (see proof below).
F. Total Cost of Coal Received should include insurance, freight, and taxes (i.e., the delivered cost at the plant).
To check the accuracy of the data reported, use the following proof:
