Title: Ferrous Metals Surveys.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0068.
Form Number: Various (13 forms).
Abstract: Respondents to this form
supply the U.S. Geological Survey with
domestic consumption data of 12 metals
and ferroalloys, some of which are
considered strategic and critical. This
information will be published as
chapters in Minerals Yearbooks,
monthly Mineral Industry Surveys,
annual Mineral Commodity Summaries,
and special publications, for use by
Government agencies, industry,
education programs, and the general
public.
We will protect information from
respondents considered proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under
regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data
and information to be made available to
the public or for limited inspection.’’
Responses are voluntary. No questions
of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked. We
intend to release data collected on these
forms only in a summary format that is
not company-specific.
Frequency: Monthly and Annually.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 1,307
consumers of ferrous and related metals.
Respondents are canvasses for one
frequency period (e.g., monthly
respondents are not canvasses
annually).
Estimated Number of Responses:
2,979.
Annual burden hours: 1,614.
Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The
currently approved ‘‘hour’’ burden for
these forms is 1,614 hours. We
estimated the public reporting burden
averages 10 minutes to 1 hour per
response. This includes the time for
reviewing instructions, gathering and
maintaining data, and completing and
reviewing the information.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have not identified any
‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated
with this collection of information.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
you are not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Comments: Before submitting an ICR
to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) (44
U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) requires each
agency ‘‘* * * to provide notice * * *
and otherwise consult with members of
PO 00000

specifically solicit comments to: (a)
Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the agency to perform its duties,
including whether the information is

proposed collection of ion formation; (c)
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) minimize the burden
on the respondents, including the use
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
To comply with the public
consultation process, on September 28,
2007, we published a Federal Register
