(a) Value of Shipments and Receipts and Employment Size categories were supplied by the
Bureau of the Census.
(b) 'Electricity' consists of quantities of electricity that were purchased
or transferred in, and is equivalent to 'purchased electricity' as defined in
the 'Annual Survey of Manufactures.'
(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 all other energy that was purchased or transferred in
and not shown elsewhere.
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 derived estimates presented
in this table represent the consumption of energy originally produced offsite,
acquired as a result of a purchase or transfer and consumed onsite for the
production of heat and power.  This definition is consistent with the definition
of 'purchased' fuels and electric energy used by the Bureau of the Census in the
preparation of 'Fuels and Electric Energy Consumed,' of the 'Annual Survey of
Manufactures,' for 1974 through 1981.
