a See Appendices B and F for descriptions of the Standard Industrial Classification system.

b "Alternative Types of Energy" consist of those energy sources that could have been substituted for natural gas during 1991. The quantities are expressed in billions

of cubic feet, and therefore represent the quantity of natural gas that could have been displaced by the given alternative type of energy. c "Total Consumed" represents those quantities of natural gas that were ascertained switchable or not switchable, plus an additional quantity for which the switching

status was not ascertained. d "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. e "Other" includes all other types of energy not already identified that respondents indicated could have been consumed in place of natural gas.

f Value of Shipments and Receipts and Employment Size categories were supplied by the Bureau of the Census. See Appendix B.

* Estimate less than 0.5. Data are included in higher level totals.

W=Withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual establishments. Data are included in higher level totals.

Q=Withheld because Relative Standard Error is greater than 50 percent. Data are included in higher level totals.

Notes: To obtain a 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.
