Why have a MECS?

The Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (MECS) collects data on energy consumption and usage patterns for the manufacturing sector of the U.S. economy. The information will be used to publish aggregate statistics on the following: consumption of energy for fuel and nonfuel uses, energy characteristics of establishments in the manufacturing sector, energy consumption by end use, technologies currently in use by U.S. manufacturers, energy prices, electricity generation onsite, and participation in energy-management activities. This information will be used by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to implement policy plans effectively.

What is a manufacturing establishment?

The reporting unit for the Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (MECS) is the manufacturing establishment. A manufacturing establishment is an economic unit at a single physical location, for the mechanical or chemical transformation of materials or substances into new products.

An establishment is not necessarily identical to a business concern or firm, either of which may consist of one or more establishments. A company may consist of one or more establishments that are engaged in separate or distinct activities. These establishments may be situated at one location and separated physically as well as economically.

Manufacturing operations are generally conducted in facilities described as plants, factories, or mills, characteristically using power-driven machines and materials-handling equipment. Manufacturing also includes such activities as the assembly of components of manufactured products and the blending of materials such as lubricating oil, plastics, resins, or liquors.

What should I report for?

If this establishment has previously completed the Annual Survey of Manufacturers (ASM), Form MA-10000, conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, then the reporting boundaries for the MECS should correspond to those used for the ASM. Each reporting unit should be treated as a separate establishment ONLY if that was the determination made for the ASM. Do not consolidate ASM establishments for reporting on the MECS.

If this establishment has never completed an ASM, report for all activities that occur at this physical location, in accordance with the reporting boundaries as defined by the Census of Manufactures (CM) and as reported in the 1997 CM.

What is NAICS?

For 1997 and subsequent reports, the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) will replace the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system currently used by federal statistical agencies. NAICS is unique in that its conceptual framework is based on production processes. Therefore, economic units that have similar production processes are classified in the same industry.

What is the reporting period?

The period covered by this report for most establishments is calendar year 2006 (January 1 through December 31, 2006). The exception will be for those establishments whose ownership or operation changed during 2006. Indicate the reporting period covered in Section 1: Establishment Information.

Do I have to fill out this questionnaire?

Yes. This survey is mandatory under the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974, Pub. Law No. 93-275, and under Title 3, Subtitle B, of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, Pub. Law No. 99-509, as amended by Title 1, Subtitle G, of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, Pub. Law No. 102-486. Response is required by law from establishments included in the MECS sample and receiving the MECS questionnaire. Failure to respond may result in criminal fines, civil penalties, and other sanctions as provided by law.

Are these data confidential?

Yes. Under Section 9 of Title 13, U.S. Code, your report to the Census Bureau is confidential. It may be seen only by sworn Census Bureau employees and may be used only for statistical purposes. The law also provides that copies retained in your files are immune from legal process.

What if I have questions?

If you have any questions about what to report on this questionnaire, please call the Census Bureau at

1-800-528-3049.

How long will this questionnaire take?

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average nine hours per response, including the time of reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources,

What if I need more time to complete the questionnaire?

The questionnaire should be returned no later than the due date specified on the front. If you need additional time, please call our processing office at 1-800-528-3049.

General Instructions

1. Use the units specified on the questionnaire for reporting all quantities. See page 4 for a list of Btu conversion factors. If your establishment uses more precise conversion values for your operations, use them, and indicate in Section 22: Remarks, the conversion factor(s) used.

2. Do not consolidate establishments. The reporting boundaries for your establishment should correspond to those used in the Annual Survey of Manufactures and/or the Census of Manufactures.

To resolve any consolidation problems, match the 11-digit Census File Number (CFN), which is located on the MECS questionnaire mailing label, with the CFN appearing on the ASM mailing label. Responses to MECS questions should include the same activities as those considered when responding to the matching ASM.

3. The energy sources (Sections 2 - 16) and end uses (Sections 17-18) sections of this questionnaire are designed so that all questions associated with the particular energy source within a section should be completed before going on to the next energy source. Therefore, within these sections, the questionnaire should be answered from the top of one column to the bottom of the same column, before going on to the next energy source (column).

4. Report dollar amounts rounded to the nearest dollar, e.g., report $1,257.59 as $1,258.

4. If you do not maintain book records for particular items, please use carefully prepared estimates.

6. Enter zeroes in the data columns if the value is zero or none.

7. Complete all applicable sections of the questionnaire.

8. The energy sources which are preprinted on the survey questionnaire are considered the most frequently consumed, but they do not represent a complete list of applicable energy sources. If your establishment has energy sources that meet the criteria for reporting, but are not preprinted on the questionnaire, please specify those energy sources in Section 16 and enter the data there. (See Reporting Criteria, next column under Sections 2 through 16).

9. The following definitions for units are used throughout the questionnaire:

Btu = British thermal unit(s)

One barrel = 42 gallons

One short ton = 2,000 pounds

Section 1: Establishment Information

In this section, indicate any changes in the establishment ownership during 2006 and indicate the period covered by this filing, whether the calendar year or other period.

Section 2: MECS Front Page

In this section, indicate the energy sources used at the establishment during 2006.

Sections 3 through 22: Energy Sources (Fuels)

Reporting Criteria

An energy source should be reported on this questionnaire if:

1. the energy source was consumed as a fuel, (that is, for heat, power, or electricity generation) or

2. the energy source was consumed as a nonfuel (feedstock, raw material input), or

3. the energy source was shipped offsite from this establishment site.

Data are collected for the following energy sources (fuels):

Section 3: Electricity

Section 4: Natural Gas

Section 5: Diesel Fuel Oil

Section 6: Distillate Fuel Oil

Section 7: Residual Fuel Oil

Section 8: Butane, Ethane, and Propane

Section 9: Mixtures of LPG and NGL

Section 10: Coal

Section 11: Breeze

Section 12: Coal Coke

Section 13: Petroleum Cokes

Section 14: Kerosene

Section 15: Motor Gasoline

Section 16: Acetylene

Section 17: Hydrogen

Section 18: Wood Harvested Directly from Trees

Section 19: Byproduct Energy Sources

Section 20: Steam

Section 21: Industrial Hot Water

Section 22: Other Energy Sources

NOTE - In making additional entries, the preprinted entry “Waste and Byproduct Gases” (Section 7, column 3) includes all waste gas streams (for example, refinery gas, fuel gas, vent gas, plant gas, off gas, still gas, and other waste gases) produced onsite, except hydrogen.

Energy Sources, cont.

To reduce the reporting burden and eliminate unnecessary correspondence, special instructions have been developed for the reporting of byproduct (or product) energy sources. If your only means of supply of an energy source during 2006 was as a byproduct (or product) of an energy source used as a feedstock (or raw material input) to any of your manufacturing processes, that byproduct energy source should be reported only if it was at least partially consumed onsite as a fuel. If the byproduct (or product) energy source was not consumed as a fuel, it should be excluded.

Energy Sources Reporting Examples

Example 1 - Your establishment depended entirely on electricity for heat and power, no combustible energy sources were consumed. In this instance, complete Section 2: Electricity. No data should be entered in Sections 3 through 16. Go to Section 17 and complete the remainder of the questionnaire.

Example 2 - Bituminuous coal is received onsite and converted into coke which is then shipped offsite. Complete Section 10, column 2 for the coal. Complete Section 11, column 2 for the coal coke. Report the quantity of bituminous coal consumed as a feedstock in question 104, report the quantity of coke produced onsite in question 111, check the “Yes” box in question 112, and report the quantity of coke shipped offsite in question 115.

Example 3 - Butane is used as a feedstock to produce butylene onsite. The butylene is then used as a feedstock to produce butadiene which is shipped offsite. Report the butane used as a feedstock in Section 5, column 1, question 53 because it is not used as a fuel or shipped offsite. Butadiene would not be reported in question 54, because it is not an identified energy source.

Section 23:

Fuel Switching

This section of the questionnaire is intended to provide information on the capability for establishments to switch fuels to an alternative source.

Section 23 covers Electricity, Total Natural Gas and Total Coal, Total LPG and NGL, Total Diesel Fuel and Distillate Fuel Oil, and Residual Fuel Oil.

See specific instructions for completing these sections at the beginning of each section.

Section 24: Energy-Management Activities

In this section, indicate whether your establishment participated in the listed energy-management activities during 2006, and for selected activities, indicate the amount of the energy-management activity costs paid for by the establishment.

Section 25: Technologies

Indicate any of the technologies present in this establishment. Listed technologies include general technologies which may be found in any manufacturing establishment, technologies related to cogeneration, and specific technologies for particular NAICS codes.

Section 26: Establishment Size

This section asks for the number of buildings and total square footage associated with this establishment. See the specific instructions in this section for the definition of what should be counted as a building.

Section 27: Contact Information

Enter address and other contact information for the person most knowledgeable about completing this questionnaire and the person whom we should contact if we have any questions concerning this filing.

Following are Btu conversion factors and other useful factors that should be used only if you do not know the actual Btu factor of the fuels consumed at your establishment site.

Examples of conversion from physical quantities to Btu include:

 Your establishment consumed 250 cubic feet of hydrogen in 2006.

The Btu equivalent is:

250 cu. ft. X 325.11 Btu per cubic foot

=81,277.50 Btu

=0.0813 million Btu

 Your establishment consumed 300 pounds of hydrogen in 2006.

The Btu equivalent is:

300 pounds X 61,084 Btu per pound

=18,325,200 Btu

=18.325 million

1 “Physical limitations” means (1) the boilers, heaters, or other fuel-consuming equipment are not capable of using anything other than natural gas for at least part of the operations, or (2) Although the boilers, heaters, or combustors would allow using another fuel, doing so would adversely affect a product. (Example: altering the pigment in a paint-drying application.)
