| 03-259 | Policy Statement; Policy for Statistical Tables Based on Historical Electric Power Survey Information Collected Under a Pledge of Confidentiality | Notice | The EIA has established a policy regarding the use of disclosure limitation methods for statistical tables derived from historical electric power survey information collected under a pledge of confidentiality. Disclosure limitation methods are used to ensure that sensitive table cell values are suppressed; i.e., withheld from public release. A sensitive data cell value is one that, if publicly disseminated, may be used to closely estimate confidential information that an individual survey respondent reported to EIA. Under this policy, EIA will use disclosure limitation methods on statistical tables based on aggregated historical electric power survey information collected under a pledge of confidentiality only if the information is currently collected under a pledge of confidentiality. (As of December 2002, electric power information collected under a pledge of confidentiality includes costs of fuels for unregulated plants, tested heat rates, fuel inventories, plant costs and expenses for unregulated plants, monthly electricity sales information reported for energy-only service, and latitude/longitude for electric power facilities.) For information not currently collected under a pledge of confidentiality, EIA will not use disclosure limitation methods for statistical tables derived from the historical electric power survey information previously collected under a pledge of confidentiality. This policy applies to any information collected in an EIA electric power survey under a pledge of confidentiality during a survey period at least three years prior to the date of its proposed release in a statistical table. The three-year period includes the reporting year (the year for which information is currently being collected) and two prior years where information has been finalized. In accordance with applicable laws and regulations, EIA will continue to not publicly release survey forms collected under a pledge of confidentiality. This policy is based on the need to provide additional statistical tabulations that will improve and broaden the understanding of the United States electric power industry by releasing additional statistical tabulations. These tables may present information at the national, State, and/or regional levels in various EIA information products.
