(a) Value of Shipments and Receipts and Employment Size categories were supplied by the
Bureau of the Census.
(b) 'Net Electricity' is obtained by summing purchases, transfers in, and
generation from noncombustible renewable resources, minus quantities sold and
transferred out.  It does not include electricity inputs from onsite
cogeneration or generation from combustible fuels because that energy has
already been included as generating fuel (for example, coal).
(c) 'Distillate Fuel Oil' includes Nos. 1, 2, and 4 fuel oils and Nos. 1, 2, and 4
diesel fuels.
(d) 'Natural Gas' includes natural gas obtained from utilities, local distribution companies,
and any other supplier(s), such as independent gas producers, gas brokers, marketers,
and any marketing subsidiaries of utilities.
(e) Examples of Liquefied Petroleum Gases '(LPG)' are ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene,
normal butane, butylene, ethane-propane mixtures, propane-butane mixtures, and isobutane
produced at refineries or natural gas processing plants, including plants that fractionate raw
Natural Gas Liquids '(NGL).'
(f) 'Other' includes net steam (the sum of purchases, generation from
renewables, and net transfers), and other energy that respondents indicated was
used to produce heat and power.
NF=No applicable RSE row/column factor.
* Estimate less than 0.5.
W=Withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual establishments.
Q=Withheld because Relative Standard Error is greater than 50 percent.
NA=Not available.
Notes:  To obtain the RSE percentage for any table cell, multiply the cell's
corresponding RSE column and RSE row factors.   Totals may not equal sum of
components because of independent rounding.   The estimates presented in this
table are for the total consumption of energy (formerly total inputs of energy)
for the production of heat, power, and electricity generation,
regardless of where the energy was produced.  Specifically, the estimates
include the quantities of energy that were originally produced offsite and
purchased by or transferred to the establishment, plus those that were produced
onsite from other energy or input materials not classified as energy, or were
extracted from captive (onsite) mines or wells.
During manufacturing processes, it is possible that the thermal energy content of
an energy input is not completely consumed for the production of heat,
power, or electricity generation.  Hence, residuals of that input may
remain.  Those residual leftovers may be subsequently consumed for fuel
purposes, whether onsite or offsite at another manufacturing establishment
(for example, blast furnace gas as a byproduct recovered from coke and
other inputs that were not completely consumed).  In such cases, double
counting of inputs cannot be avoided, and the "Fuel Consumption" estimates will
be inflated.
