NM = Not meaningful due to large relative standard error or excessive percentage change. W = Withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company data. Notes: See Glossary for definitions. Values are preliminary. See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-923. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Percentage change is calculated before rounding. Coal includes anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, waste coal, and coal-derived synthesis gas.
