In 2015, the energy section of Environment, Energy and Transportation Statistics Division (EETSD) underwent an extensive redesign of the Monthly Natural Gas survey which collected information from distributors and transmitters. A review of user requirements was first initiated. Then, with these requirements in hand, interviews with respondents were conducted in order to ascertain respondent's ability to report existing and new data. The study was also to confirm that respondents understood the definitions, which were being asked by survey analysts. The result was the creation of the Monthly Natural Gas Distribution Survey.
