1See Note 2, "Primary Energy Consumption," at end of Section 1. 5Total losses are calculated as the primary energy consumed by the electric power sector minus the
energy content of electricity retail sales.  Total losses are allocated to the end-use sectors in proportion to
each sector's share of total electricity retail sales.  See Note, "Electrical System Energy Losses," at end of
section.
2Data are estimates.  See Table 10.2a for notes on series components. R=Revised.  P=Preliminary.  NA=Not available.  
3Natural gas only; excludes the estimated portion of supplemental gaseous fuels.  See Note 1,
"Supplemental Gaseous Fuels," at end of Seciton 6.		 Note:  Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
4Electricity retail sales to ultimate customers reported by electric utilities and, beginning in 1996, other
energy service providers.		 Sources:  Tables 2.1f, 5.14a, 6.5, 7.3, 8.9, 10.2a, A4, A5, and A6.
