We design and send our statistical surveys to energy producers, users, transporters, and certain other businesses. Companies and households report directly to us. We also make use of data from other sources, such as trade associations and other government agencies. Located in Washington, D.C., EIA is an organization of about 375 Federal employees, with an annual budget in Fiscal Year 2008 of $95.5 million.
