Title: INDUSTRIAL MINERALS SURVEYS
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Disapproved	Conclusion Date: 04/13/1988
	Date Received in OIRA: 02/09/1988
Terms of Clearance: This information collection is disapproved because of the monthly data collections that do not have adequate justification, pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.6. Stating that industry maintains the information in a monthly format is not adequate justification, as the firm can easily aggregate the monthly data to quarterly. When BOM resubmits this clearance package, they should address the following questions: -Why is it necessary to collect data on Portland and Masonry Cement, Lime, Sulfur, and Marketable Phosphate Rock on a monthly basis? -Have any of the minerals from these 39 forms been declared strategi by FEMA? If so, which ones and why? -Why does BOM do separate annual surveys of many of these minerals, rather than aggregating the monthly or quarterly data they now receive? -Who uses this data and for what? Do any industry associations or private groups collect similar information?
