The report provides a description of each of the files on the public use tape, job control language for unloading the tape, a discussion of confidentiality provisions, and complete file description. A companion report for this documentation, Residential Energy Consumption Survey: Energy Consumption and Expenditures, April 1982 through March 1983, Part I: National Data, provides important information concerning the data and the survey. The companion report also contains much of the data collected in the 1982 survey and a summary of findings from the data as well as comparisons with earlier surveys. Appendices to the companion report include a discussion of how the survey was conducted, reproductions of the survey forms, and procedures for calculating sampling variances.
