(b) 'Electricity' consists of quantities of electricity that were purchasedor transferred in, and is equivalent to 'purchased electricity' as defined inthe 'Annual Survey of Manufactures.' (c) 'Distillate Fuel Oil' includes Nos. 1, 2, and 4 fuel oils and Nos. 1, 2, and 4diesel fuels. (d) 'Natural Gas' includes natural gas obtained from utilities, local distribution companies,and any other supplier(s), such as independent gas producers, gas brokers, marketers,and any marketing subsidiaries of utilities. (e) Examples of Liquefied Petroleum Gases '(LPG)' are ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene,normal 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).' (f) 'Other' includes all other energy that was purchased or transferred inand not shown elsewhere. 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 ofcomponents because of independent rounding. The derived estimates presentedin this table represent the consumption of energy originally produced offsite,acquired as a result of a purchase or transfer and consumed onsite for theproduction of heat and power. This definition is consistent with the definitionof 'purchased' fuels and electric energy used by the Bureau of the Census in thepreparation of 'Fuels and Electric Energy Consumed,' of the 'Annual Survey ofManufactures,' for 1974 through 1981.
