Emergency Coal Supply Survey
Form EIA-6
YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW
This report is mandatory under the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-275). Failure to comply may result in
criminal fines, civil penalties, and other sanctions as provided by law. Title 18 USC 1001 makes it a criminal offense for any person
knowingly and willingly to make to any Agency or Department of the United States any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements
as to any matter within its jurisdiction.
Companies in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia that produced 25,000 or more short tons of coal during the year,
defined by the previous calendar year, must report form EIA-6. Note that depending on the circumstances of the coal disruption, EIA
may require only a subset of the U.S. coal mining companies that meet this criteria to submit the survey. All required respondents
will be individually notified by EIA.

PURPOSE
The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Form EIA-6, Emergency Coal Supply Survey, collects coal distribution data from
U.S. coal mining companies. This information provides basic statistics concerning the origin of U.S. coal to Congress.

DUE DATE
The Form EIA-6 must be submitted no later than 5pm eastern time each Monday after the seven-day reporting period. The
reporting period is Saturday midnight to Saturday midnight.

HOW TO FILE A RESPONSE
Completed EIA-6 forms should be sent by email to an address that EIA shall specify at the time that the respondent is notified
of its obligation to file the form. Alternatively, respondents may submit the form by fax to (206) 287-1944, Attn: Form EIA-6.

SANCTIONS
The timely submission of Form EIA-6 by those required to report is mandatory under Section 13(b) of the Federal Energy
Administration Act of 1974 (FEAA) (Public Law 93-275) as amended (codified at 15 U.S.C. 772). Failure to respond may result in
criminal fines, civil penalties, and other sanctions as provided by law. The government may bring a civil action to prohibit
reporting violations which may result in a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction without bond. In
such a civil action, the court may also issue mandatory injunctions commanding any person to comply with these reporting
requirements. Title 18 U.S.C. 1001 makes it a criminal offense for any person knowingly and willingly to make to any Agency
or Department of the United States any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements as to any matter within its jurisdiction.

REPORTING BURDEN
This Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.5 hours per response, including the time

CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION
The name and address of the responding company, the mine type or plant type, and location reported on Form EIA-6 is
considered public information and may be released in company identifiable form. All other 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 U.S. 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 statistical data published from survey information to ensure that the risk of
disclosure of identifiable information is very small.
