Abstract: Industries that produce and consume industrial minerals use the 40 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 decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: We estimate that there will be 20,053 responses totaling 14,006 burden hours. This is a net decrease of 202 responses and a net increase of 212 burden hours from our previous request of 20,255 responses and 13,794 burden hours. We are reporting a decrease of 20 responses and a decrease of 13 burden hours as a program change from the removal of forms 9-4002-A and 9-4019-A. We are also reporting a decrease of 182 responses and an increase of 225 burden hours as an adjustment. This adjustment in estimated resources and corresponding burden hours is based upon our experience in administering this program over the last 3 years.
