 (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 LPG during 2006. The quantities are expressed in

thousands of barrels, and therefore represent the quantity of LPG that could

have been displaced by the given alternative type of energy.

 (d) 'Total Consumed' represents those quantities (Total Inputs) of LPG that were

ascertained switchable or not switchable, plus an additional quantity for which

the switching status was not ascertained.

 (e) 'Electricity 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.

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

respondents indicated could have been consumed in place of LPG.

 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.
