    * = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is "1" and values under 0.5 are shown as "*".  )
  NM = Not meaningful due to large relative standard error or excessive percentage change. 
  Notes: See Glossary for definitions. Values for 2006 are final. Values for 2007 are preliminary estimates based on a sample.  - See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-906 and Form EIA-920. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Percent difference is calculated before rounding.
