Data Collection and Operation Procedures for the Alternative Fuel Demand Due to Natural Gas Curtailment Survey (EIA-50)

摘要

This survey was designed and implemented by the Federal Energy Administration in 1975 to monitor natural gas deliveries, curtailments and the demand for alternate fuels resulting from the curtailments. The Form EIA-50 enables the Department of Energy's Economic Regulatory Administration (ERA) to collect the data necessary to meet its responsibility for allocating oil and petroleum products equitably among all regions of the United States, and in sectors of the petroleum industry and users. Moreover the EIA-50 enables DOC to collect data better informing state and Federal agencies and the public about natural gas curtailment related developments. Data collected on this form will provide an early indication of those geographic areas most susceptible to changes in gas curtailment and alternative fuel needs, thus, allowing contingency planning and/or action at all levels of government in areas where potentially serious conditions may exist.
