 (a) The Bureau of the Census classifies establishments using the North American

Industry Classification System (NAICS). 

 (b) These counts include only those establishments that reported this activity in 2006.

 (c) 'Alternative Energy Sources' consist of those energy sources that could

have been substituted for electricity receipts during 2006. The quantities are

expressed in millions of kilowatthours, and therefore represent the quantity of

electricity that could have been displaced by the given alternative type of

energy.

 (d) 'Total Receipts' represents those quantities of electricity generated off

the manufacturing establishment site and available at the site for consumption. 

It includes those quantities for which payment was made, quantities transferred

in, quantities purchased and paid for by a central purchasing entity, and

quantities for which payment was made in kind. It does not include electricity

generated onsite. 'Electricity Receipts' has not been adjusted to account for

any quantities that might have been resold or transferred out. The estimates

include those quantities that were ascertained switchable or not switchable,

plus an additional quantity for which the switching status was not ascertained.

 (e) 'Other' includes all other types of energy not already identified that

respondents indicated could have been consumed in place of electricity.

 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.
