A. PURPOSE The EIA-5 survey collects data related to coal and coal synfuel receipts, stocks, and coke production at U.S. coke 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 companies operating coke plants within the United States must submit Form EIA-5. A separate EIA-5 form must be
submitted for each coke plant owned.
C. WHEN TO SUBMIT Form EIA-5 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 Respondents can submit data for this survey by Internet, Secure File Transfer, mail, or facsimile. Any questions
regarding the submission of this form can be directed to the Survey Manager, Patty Chou, at mailto:[email protected] (202) 287-1977.

E. SANCTIONS The timely submission of Form EIA-5 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:
Affiliate Transfers: The quantity of coke/breeze transferred to integrated operations and/or affiliated companies, as opposed to commercial or
open market sales to other companies.
Breeze: The fine screenings from crushed coke. Usually breeze will pass through either a 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch screen opening, depending on
the coke plant.
C.I.F.: Cost including insurance, freight, and taxes (i.e., the delivered cost at the plant).
Coke: Strong, porous residue consisting of carbon and mineral ash formed when coal is heated in a limited air supply or in the absence of air.
Commercial Sales: The quantity of material sold during the reporting quarter to a company not integrated or affiliated with the producing
company.
Coal Synfuel Plant: A plant engaged in the chemical transformation of coal into coal synfuel.
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
1. Report all quantities in short tons (1 short ton = 2,000 lbs.) to the nearest whole ton.
2. Report only coal or coal synfuel received for carbonization at the coke plant. All other coal should be reported on Form EIA-3,
Quarterly Coal Consumption and Quality Report – Manufacturing Plants.

Instructions for Section II – Coking Coal and Coal Synfuel Receipts, Coal Carbonized, and Stocks
A. Ending Stocks Previous Quarter. In the event that the provided 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 Quantity Received During the Quarter is the sum of all coal and coal synfuel received. This should equal the total of amounts
reported in section IV, item H Total Delivered.
C. Coal Carbonized is the sum of all coal and coal synfuel carbonized or converted to coke.
D. Adjustments 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 or coal synfuel 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 is to be entered 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 and coal synfuel
received, subtracting quantity of coal and coal synfuel carbonized, and adding or subtracting any adjustment value (see proof below).
F. Total Cost of Coal Received is coal and coal synfuel cost including insurance, freight, and taxes (i.e., the delivered cost at the plant).
