- For coal received during the quarter, origin, coal rank, type of purchase contract, quantity, transportation mode, quality (i.e., Btu, sulfur, and ash contents), and cost data are collected. For coal transformed during the quarter, data is collected based on transformation type: Gasification, Liquefaction, Refined Coal, Coking Coal. Facilities that consume in excess of 1,000 short tons of anthracite, bituminous, sub-bituminous coal or lignite are required to submit a quarterly survey. Data from the Form EIA-3 appear in EIA publications, such as the Quarterly Coal Report, Monthly Energy Review, Annual Energy Review, and the Annual Coal Report. In addition, the EIA uses the data for coal supply analyses and short-term modeling.For help in determining coal origins (counties) for the EIA-3 form in east Kentucky, west Kentucky, north West Virginia, and south West Virginia, see the following maps: East and West Kentucky map JPG format, North and South West Virginia map JPG format.

- Data are used in EIA forecasting and energy end use intensity models and are published in statistical and analytical reports. The physical characteristics information for commercial buildings is collected using Form EIA-871A in interviews with owners, managers, or tenants of buildings. The building respondents are also asked to provide energy consumption and expenditures information, if available. Consumption and expenditures data are also collected for responding buildings from individual energy suppliers by using Forms EIA-871C through F (depending upon the energy source) in an online data collection (in earlier CBECS cycles the supplier data were collected by mail forms). The survey was renamed CBECS in 1989. Previously it was conducted under the name of Nonresidential Buildings Energy Consumption Survey. Surveys were conducted in 1979, 1983, 1986, 1989, 1992, 1995, 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2012. The current CBECS collected data for 2018.

- There are two types of authorizations, blanket and long-term authorizations. The blanket authorization enables importing or exporting on a short-term or spot market basis for a period of two years. Under this type of authorization, an entity is authorized to import and/or export natural gas for itself or act as a marketing agent for a third party. The entity is not obligated to import or export natural gas when it gets a blanket authorization and contracts are not required to be filed with the application. The long-term authorization is used when an entity has, or intends to have, a signed gas purchase or sales agreement/contract for a period of time longer than two years. Within 30 days following the end of each month, basic information on the monthly imports/exports must be reported to DOE. Within 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter, importers and exporters must file more detailed reports describing import/export activity for the quarter. Data are made available by DOE's Office of Fossil Energy and are also used by EIA for publications.

- Actual imports and exports of electricity are reported in detail by month. Export authorization holders report quarterly while Presidential Permit holders report annually. These data are used by the Department to track electricity being imported into and exported from the United States, and to furnish decisionmakers with accurate information on which to base trade policy. These data are also used for verifying that Presidential Permit holders have complied with the terms and
- conditions of the Permits. Data are used by EIA for publications.

FERCVarious Collections of Information on Electricity, Natural Gas, Hydroelectric Power, and Oil
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is an independent regulatory agency within the Department of Energy that: (1) regulates the transmission and sale for resale of natural gas in interstate commerce; (2) regulates the transmission of oil by pipeline in interstate commerce; (3) regulates the transmission and wholesale sales of electricity in interstate commerce; (4) licenses and inspects private, municipal and state hydroelectric projects; (5) oversees related environmental matters; and (6) administers accounting and financial reporting regulations and the conduct of jurisdictional companies. FERC collects information necessary for it to fulfill these duties. EIA uses some information collected by FERC for EIA's analyses and publications. More information about FERC is available at FERC's Home Page.
