GENERAL INFORMATION:



A. PURPOSE.


Using the EIA-3 survey, the Energy Information Administration collects data from U.S. manufacturing plants, coal transformation/processing plants, and commercial and institutional users of coal. This survey allows the EIA 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. Data collected on this survey appear in the Annual Coal Report, Quarterly Coal Report, Monthly Energy Review, and Annual Energy Review. In addition, the Energy Information Administration utilizes the data for coal demand analyses and short-term modeling. The forecasts produced are presented to Congress upon request. The forecast data appear in the Short-Term Energy Outlook and Annual Energy Outlook as well.


B. WHO MUST SUBMIT.


All manufacturing facilities, gasification/liquefaction plants, coal transformation plants, commercial entities, and institutional entities that consume or use in excess of 1,000 short tons of anthracite , bituminous , sub-bituminous , lignite, or refined coal for reasons other than coke production during a one-year period must submit Form EIA-3. A one-year period is defined to be the sum of the current reporting quarter and the previous three reporting quarters. This requirement includes all facilities using coal for gasification/liquefaction and feedstock. A separate EIA-3 form must be submitted for each manufacturing plant, gasification/liquefaction plant, or coal transformation plant, commercial entity or institutional entity consuming or using the coal. However, facilities that gasify coal and use gas streams as inputs for their own internal processes are not required to complete Schedule G. Such facilities should mark Sector Type as “Manufacturing” and complete Sections II, III, and IV of this form.


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 will be provided in emails from the EIA.


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, Tejasvi Raghuveer, by e-mail at tejasvi.raghuveer@eia.gov or by phone at (202) 586-8926.

F. BURDEN.


Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.25 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed and completing and reviewing the collection of information. The public reporting burden for coal transformation plants, which must complete all schedules including Schedules G, L, R and S, is estimated to average 1.4 hours per response. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the Energy Information Administration, Statistics and Methods Group, EI-70, Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20585; and to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503. Respondents are not required to file this report unless it contains a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.


G. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION.


The information reported on this form will be protected and not disclosed to the public to the extent that it satisfies the criteria for exemption under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. §552, the DOE regulations, 10 C.F.R. §1004.11, implementing the FOIA, and the Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. §1905.


The Federal Energy Administration Act requires the Energy Information Administration to provide company-specific data to other Federal agencies when requested for official use. The information reported on these forms may also be made available, upon request, to another component of the Department of Energy (DOE); to any Committee of Congress, the Government Accountability Office, or other Federal agencies authorized by law to receive such information. A court of competent jurisdiction may obtain this information in response to an order. The information may be used for any non-statistical purposes such as administrative, regulatory, law enforcement, or adjudicatory purposes.


Disclosure limitation procedures are applied to the cost data reported in Sections II and VI to ensure that the risk of disclosure of identifiable information is very small. Disclosure limitation procedures are not applied to the other aggregate statistical and quantity data published from this survey. Thus, there may be some statistics that are based on data from fewer than three respondents, or that are dominated by data from one or two large respondents. In these cases, it may be possible for a knowledgeable person to estimate the information reported by a specific respondent.

INSTRUCTIONS:



  • If your facility is a manufacturing plant, complete all sections on survey except Schedules G, L, R, and S.

  • If your facility is a coal transformation/processing plant, complete Sections I through VIII and the appropriate schedule.

  • Do not include coal used to produce coke. Coal or transformed coal used to produce coke should be reported on Form EIA-5, Quarterly Coal

Consumption and Quality Report – Coke Plants.

  • Report quantities in whole short tons (1 short ton = 2,000 pounds) and cost rounded to the nearest whole dollar.



Section I – Identification:


For Company Information, kindly provide information about the company that owns the plant for which this survey is being completed. The Company contact person must be able to verify all the information submitted and answer any questions concerning the information reported on this survey. The company contact person should NOT be the preparer of the survey.



Section II – Coal Receipts, Consumption and Stocks:


A. Ending Coal 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 Quantity of Coal Received During Quarter is the quantity of all coal received, including transformed coal. The value entered into this space should match the value entered in Section IV, Item I. Total on page 2.

C. Quantity of Coal Consumed During Quarter. For manufacturing plants (except coal transformation plants) report consumption of all types of coal, including transformed coal. For coal transformation plants, report the number of tons of coal used to produce transformed coal.

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 “-“ sign to indicate whether the adjustment is an addition or reduction to your facility’s stocks. Any entry in this space requires that an explanation be provided in Section V on page 2.

E. Coal Stocks at the End of 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 During Quarter on a C.I.F. Basis 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:

Coal Glossary



Anthracite Coal: 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, it contains 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 as-received 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.


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. Bituminous coal is the most abundant coal in active U.S. mining regions. 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 as-received basis (i.e., containing both inherent moisture and mineral matter).


C.I.F.: This term refers to a type of sale in which the buyer of the product agrees to pay a unit price that includes the f.o.b. value of the product at the point of origin plus all costs of insurance and transportation. This type of a transaction differs from a "delivered" purchase, in that the buyer accepts the quantity as determined at the loading port (as certified by the Bill of Lading and Quality Report) rather than pay based on the quantity and quality ascertained at the unloading port. It is similar to the terms of an f.o.b. sale, except that the seller, as a service for which he is compensated, arranges for transportation and insurance.


Coal Synfuel: Coal-based solid fuel processed by a coal synfuel plant or coal-based fuels such as briquettes, pellets, or extrusions, which are formed from fresh or recycled coal and binding materials.


Coal Transformation Plant: A plant, other than a coke plant, that is engaged in the chemical transformation of coal into a new substance.


Co-firing: The simultaneous use of two or more fuels by a single combustion system. Co-firing excludes the limited use of a second fuel for start-up or flame stabilization.


Commercial User: Retail or wholesale business or a facility housing such a business that uses coal for heating, raising steam or generating electricity.


Commodity Cost: The commodity cost is the price of the coal at the point of first loading (free on board/FOB) including taxes and any quality-related charges or credits. The commodity cost does not include: loading and unloading charges, dust proofing, freeze conditioning, switching charges, diesel fuel surcharges, or any other charges related to the movement of the coal to the point of use.


Institutional User: A private, state or federal facility such as a prison, nursing home, military base, university, or hospital that uses coal for heating, raising steam, or generating electricity.


In-situ: In the natural or original place; i.e., coal has not been mined.


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).


Manufacturing Plant: A plant, excluding coke plant or coal transformation plant, which is engaged in the mechanical or chemical transformation of materials or substances into finished or semi-finished materials or products.


MSHA ID. A seven digit identification number assigned to every mining operation in the United States by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration.


Primary Product: The type of output or merchandise of the manufacturing plant.


Predominant Mode or Predominant Transportation Mode: The method used to transport coal over the single longest distance from point of origin to consumer. See Section H for more information.


Refined Coal: Coal type that is created when moisture and some volatile constituents have been removed to improve coal quality. Does not include coal processed by coal preparation plants.


Secondary Mode or Secondary Transportation Mode: If more than one method of transportation is used in a single shipment, the Secondary Mode of transportation is the method used to transport coal over the second longest distance from point of origin to consumer. See Section H for more information.


Sub-bituminous Coal: A coal whose properties range from those of lignite to those of bituminous coal and used primarily as fuel for steam-electric 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. Sub-bituminous coal contains 20 to 30 percent inherent moisture by weight. The heat content of sub-bituminous coal ranges from 17 to 24 million Btu per ton on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis. The heat content of sub-bituminous 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).


Transformed Coal: Refers to coal that has been chemically altered as a result of processing in a plant. For examples, coal-based fuels such as briquettes, pellets, or extrusions are formed by binding materials and processes that recycle material.


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.
