Abstract:
Industries that produce and consume industrial minerals use the 38 forms to report production, consumption, stocks, and receipts of industrial mineral commodities (including phosphate rock, sulfur, cement, stone, sand and gravel, etc.). We compile these data into tables, which are published monthly, quarterly, semiannually, and annually. The data collected is used for military and civilian planning, and Federal policy and economic decisions related to the commodities covered.

Short Statement:
The USGS requests 11,716 burden hours for this information collection, which is a decrease of 1,066 hours: -1,039 hours because of agency adjustments and -27 hours as a program change. We have deleted three forms that are no longer used (9-4003-A, 9-4034-Q, and 9-4039-A). We have reported the 27 hours and 54 responses associated with these forms as a program change. We have increased our burden hour estimate for USGS Form 9-4008-A, which, because of a booming economy and growing population, has experienced a significant increase in respondents. For some forms, the decrease in U.S. mining has led to a corresponding decrease in the number of respondents as operations have closed. For other forms, company consolidation of reports has saved reporting time with the number of reporting sites remaining unchanged. In addition, we have corrected our burden estimates for USGS Forms 9-4007-A and 9-4008-A by deleting Federal Government respondents, which were included in our previous estimate.
