The monthly collections in this package are disapproved, pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.6. Stating that industry collects the data on a monthly basis is not adequate justification, because it is easy to aggregate monthly data to quarterly. When BOM resubmits this package, they should address the following questions: - Why is it necessary to collect information on these minerals on monthly basis? What is the information used for and why wouldn't quarterly data be sufficient for these uses? (This question should be answered mineral by mineral). - Are any of these minerals classified strategic by FEMA? If so, which ones? - Why is it necessary to do a separate annual survey, rather than aggregating the quarterly or monthly data?
