    5. Mandatory.
    6. The purposes of the survey are to collect information and 
produce periodic reports about the operational status of U.S. natural 
gas processing plants to improve public understanding of their 
production capacities and operating levels as well as to monitor 
constraints resulting from natural gas supply emergencies. The survey 
consists of Schedule A ``Baseline Report,'' a census which will be used

processing plants. Schedule A will collect information as frequently as 
every three years and the information will be used for periodic reports 
on the plants as well as to develop the survey frame for Schedule B 
``Emergency Status Report''. In the event of a natural gas supply 
emergency, Schedule B will collect information about operating levels, 
damage and recovery of operations.
