NOTE TO EDITORS:

Special Release Time for the Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) hereby notifies the public that the Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report (WNGSR) will be released at 11:15 a.m. (Eastern Time) on September 11, 2003.

This change is being made in response to a request from the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) that the EIA postpone the September 11, 2003 release of the WNGSR. On that day, those NYMEX markets, including natural gas, that normally open at 10:00 am or later will have a delayed opening at 10:51 a.m. NYMEX plans a special tribute in memory of the 21 members and former members of the Exchange and the New York Board of Trade who perished in the attack on the World Trade Center Towers on September 11, 2001. The Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report will resume its normal 10:30 a.m. release time on Thursday September 18, 2003.

This Note to Editors was prepared by the Energy Information Administration, the independent statistical and analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy. The information contained in the Note should be attributed to the Energy Information Administration and should not be construed as advocating or reflecting any policy position of the Department of Energy or any other organization.
