    EIA revises its weekly estimates of State-level coal production using Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) quarterly coal production data. After revision, EIA's State-level weekly numbers summed for the quarter match the MSHA data.

    Data for 2012 and January through June 2013 are revised to match MSHA. Data for July through November 2013 are preliminary EIA estimates.
