  Notes: Due to different reporting requirements between the Form EIA-923 and historical FERC Form 423, the receipts data from 2008 and on are not directly comparable to prior years.  For more information, please see the Technical Notes in Appendix C. See Glossary for definitions. Values for 2008 are preliminary. Data represent weighted values.
