Form EIA-860

Form EIA-860 is eIA's mandatory annual census of the US generating fleet, recording every unit at or above 1 MW nameplate capacity at generator level with operable, proposed and retired files plus plant, utility, ownership and technology-specific sheets. Of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs, NYC TLC Trip Record Data (Yellow/Green Taxi & FHV/HVFHV Uber/Lyft) documents it in its listing.

In this catalog it shows up concretely:

• NYC TLC Trip Record Data (Yellow/Green Taxi & FHV/HVFHV Uber/Lyft) — One row per individual trip, published as one file per month per class; bulk download delivery, quality score 10/10, free.

Superseded 860A/860B forms reach back to 1990 and monthly 860M supplements carry interim changes since July 2015.

This concept decides how records are identified and joined. Get it wrong and every downstream match inherits the error - usually silently.

NYC TLC Trip Record Data (Yellow/Green Taxi & FHV/HVFHV Uber/Lyft) applies it operationally: One row per individual trip, published as one file per month per class

To verify a source really provides Form EIA-860, work through:

1. Open NYC TLC Trip Record Data (Yellow/Green Taxi & FHV/HVFHV Uber/Lyft) and compare the claim against the artifact - its own listing reports One row per individual trip, published as one file per month per class.
2. Ask any commercial vendor which cataloged dataset theirs resembles; if they cannot name a comparable public example, treat the claim as unverified.
3. Get update cadence in writing: only 22.6% of the 1,744 cataloged datasets update daily, so "always current" needs evidence.

Where to see it in context: electric-utilities data, heavy-electrical-equipment data.
