The collection of financial and operating statistics on the natural gas industry reported here is limited under the Natural Gas Act to that segment of the industry subject to the FERC's regulatory jurisdiction. Thus, the collected statistics represent less than full industry coverage. Major interstate natural gas pipeline companies with extensive transmission systems accounted for 88.3% of the total purchased gas, 88.7% of the total assets, 88.3% of the gas operating revenues, and 97.2% of the sales for resale. 28 tables.
