(a) Total as of December 31.
(b) Reflects one respondent's reclassification of natural
gas in underground storage from working gas to base gas.
- Not Applicable.
Notes: Data for 1995 through 1999 are final. All other data are
preliminary unless otherwise noted.See Explanatory Note 7 for
discussion of the reporting of underground storage information
Gas in storage at the end of a reporting period may not equal
the quantity derived by adding or subtracting net injections
or withdrawals during the period to the quantity of gas in storage
at the beginning of the period. This is due to changes in the
quantities of native gas included in base gas and/or losses in
base gas due to migration from storage reservoirs. Totals may
not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
Geographic coverage is the 50 States and the District of Columbia
Positive net withdrawals indicate the volume of withdrawals in
excess of injections. Negative netwithdrawals indicate the
volume of injections in excess of withdrawals.

Report," and Form EIA-176, "Annual Report of Natural and
