The two Production Estimate annual
survey forms provide information on mineral production for annual
reports published by commodity and for the "Mineral Commodity
Summaries", the first preliminary publication to furnish estimates
covering the previous year's non-fuel mineral industry. The
respondents are producers of metals and industrial minerals. The
quarterly telephone sample survey, introduced in 1988, collects
production information from major aggregates producing companies
operating in 48 States. It produces important quarterly information
about the status of construction.
