BALANCE
(Instructions for SCHEDULE 4 are on pages 9 through 10.)

Report stocks for the following fuels:
•
Coal (tons)
•
Residual oil (No. 5 and No. 6 fuel oils) (barrels)
•
Distillate-type oils (including diesel oil, No. 2 oil, jet fuel and kerosene) (barrels)
•
Petroleum coke (tons)
•
Include back-up fuels.
•

Include start-up and flame-stabilization fuels.

•

Do not report stocks for waste coal, natural gas, or wood waste. Do enter a comment if the natural
gas balance does not equal zero.

•

Stocks held off-site that cannot be assigned to an individual plant are to be reported as stocks held
at a central storage site. Each central storage site must be reported separately. New sites should
be indicated in the Comment Section, located in SCHEDULE 9 on page 16 of this form.

•

Enter zero if the plant has no stocks. Do not leave blank.

•

Enter adjustments to stocks. An adjustment can be positive or negative. See instructions for
additional information. Provide a comment on SCHEDULE 9 to explain adjustments.

•

Enter a comment if the balance does not equal zero.
