Abstract: These 27 forms, covering production, consumption, stocks, and receipts of nonferrous metals commodities, are critical to the metals data collection effort, and are used for military and civilian planning and Federal policy and economic decisions related to the commodities covered in this collection request. Respondents use these forms to supply the USGS with domestic production and consumption data of nonferrous and related nonfuel mineral commodities, some of which are considered strategic and critical. This information will be published as chapters in Minerals Yearbook, monthly Mineral Industry Surveys, annual Mineral Commodity Summaries, and special publications, for use by Government agencies, industry, education programs, and the general public.
