PURPOSE

The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Form EIA-7A, Annual Survey of Coal Production and Preparation, collects coal

production data from U.S. coal mining companies. This includes information on the type and status of coal operations, characteristics of

coalbeds mined, recoverable reserves, productive capacity and the disposition of coal mined which provides Congress with basic

statistics concerning coal supply. These data appear in the Annual Coal Report, the Quarterly Coal Report, the Monthly Energy Review, and

the Annual Energy Review. In addition, the EIA uses the data for coal supply analyses and in short-term modeling efforts, which produce

forecasts of coal supply and prices requested by Congress. The forecast data also appear in the Short-Term Energy Outlook and the Annual

Energy Outlook.

DUE DATE

Form EIA-7A must be submitted no later than April 1 of the year following the reporting year.
