To make reporting easier and faster for the respondents, drop down menu selections are provided. Dropdowns containing a list of producing states are provided for in Sections 1.7 and 1.8. Dropdowns containing a list of explanation or reasons for changes in production levels are provided in the comments columns of Sections 2.1 and 3.1. This saves resources for validating data values and reduces reporting burden by avoiding telephone calls to the respondents to request an explanation for the change in data values across time periods.
