Abstract: These data are prepared from data reported in the FERC Form 2 by interstate natural gas companies subject to the accounting and reporting requirements of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The data include financial and operational data on major interstate natural gas pipeline companies as defined by FERC classification.

Extent of Collection: The distribution media contained a DOS compressed data file, a DOS decompression program, a DOS batch file and instructions for decompressing the data file.

Printed Documentation: EIA Microcomputer Products: Annual Report of Major Natural Gas Companies contains a reproduction of FERC Form 2, and documents these data and their record layouts. The form must be used with the data to determine the type of data reported by the gas companies in the "Data Field". The documentation also provides the values of the positive and negative number codes in the "Data Field".

Data Conversion: The compressed data file was extracted and is available in its original DOS ASCII format. The data file was translated to ASCII CSV following the field position layout specifications in the printed documentation. For more information about data conversion, see File Processing and Quality Control.
