 (a) Value of Shipments and Receipts and Employment Size categories were supplied by the

Bureau of the Census. (b) 'Distillate Fuel Oil' includes Nos. 1, 2, and 4 fuel oils and Nos. 1, 2, and 4diesel fuels. (c) 'Natural Gas' includes natural gas obtained from utilities, local distribution companiesand any other supplier(s), such as independent gas producers, gas brokers, marketersand any marketing subsidiaries of utilities. (d) Examples of Liquefied Petroleum Gases '(LPG)' are ethane, ethylene, propane, propylenenormal butane, butylene, ethane-propane mixtures, propane-butane mixtures, and isobutaneproduced at refineries or natural gas processing plants, including plants that fractionate rawNatural Gas Liquids '(NGL).' (e) 'Other' includes all other energy that respondents indicated was used for nonfuepurposes, i.e., as petrochemical feedstocks or raw material inputs. See also Footnote 'f (f) The entry in the 'Not Ascertained' row and the 'Other' column consistsof the feedstocks and raw material inputs that were consumed by petroleumrefineries for the production of nonenergy products (i.e., asphalt, waxeslubricants, and solvents), as well as feedstock consumption at adjoiningpetrochemical plants. That entry includes all of those inputs, regardless otype. Those inputs that were converted to other energy products by petroleumrefineries (e.g., crude oil converted to residual and distillate fuel oils) are excluded 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'scorresponding RSE column and RSE row factors. Totals may not equal sum ocomponents because of independent rounding.

as feedstocks or raw material inputs. First use is defined as the

consumption of the energy that was originally produced offsite or was producedonsite from input materials not classified as energy. Examples of the latteare hydrogen produced from the electrolysis of brine; the output of captive(onsite) mines or wells; woodchips, bark, and woodwaste from wood purchased aa raw material input; and waste materials, such as wastepaper and packingmaterials. First use excludes quantities of energy that are producedfrom other energy inputs and, therefore, avoids double counting Source: Energy Information Administration, Office of Energy Marketsand End Use, Energy Consumption Division, Form EIA-846, '2006 ManufacturingEnergy Consumption Survey,' and Office of Oil and Gas, PetroleumSupply Division, Form EIA-810, 'Monthly Refinery Report' for 2006, and the Bureauof the Census, data files for the '2006 Annual Survey of Manufacturers.
