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

 (b) 'Transfers In' include quantities delivered from any other establishment(s) in the company, quantities transferred from other establishments of the company for which 

payment was not made, quantities purchased centrally within the company but separate from the reporting establishment, and quantities for which payment was made inkind.

 (c) 'Total Onsite Generation' includes cogeneration, generation by renewable energy sources, and conventional generation by combustible fuels.

 (d) 'Net Demand' is the sum of purchases, transfers in, and total onsite generation, minus sales and transfers offsite. It is the total amount of electricity used. It is not 

comparable to net electricity which excludes electricity generated onsite by combustible energy sources.

 NF=No applicable RSE row/column factor.

 W=Withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual establishments.

 Q=Withheld because Relative Standard Error is greater than 50 percent.
