Abstract: 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.

Short Statement: We estimate that there will be 2,005 responses totaling 468 burden hours. This is a net decrease of 797 responses and 144 burden hours from our previous request of 2,802 responses and 612 burden hours. The difference represents an adjustment where we fine-tuned the number of respondents based on our experience in administering this collection along with the types of respondent feedback, discussions, and interactions as described in our answer to Question 8. Form 9-4124 is not new, however, the respondents are being separated to differentiate between private and state/local government respondents. The respondent burden for these forms, are updated in Tables 1 and 2 in the supporting statement (Part A).
