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.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: We estimate that there will be 18,339 responses totaling 12,639 burden hours. This is a net increase of 2,178 responses and 923 burden hours from our previous request. We are reporting as a program change a decrease of 117 responses and 58 burden hours resulting from: • Elimination of the requirement to complete form 9-4037-A (Natural Sodium Compounds and Refined Sodium Salts) – decrease of 130 responses and 65 burden hours. • New requirement to complete form 9-4115-A (Production of Natural Zeolites) – increase of 13 responses and 7 burden hours. We are reporting as an adjustment an increase of 2,295 responses and 981 burden hours. Based on our experience in administering this collection and feedback from our outreach, we adjusted the number of respondents and/or the burden for completing several forms.
