We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are especially interested in public comments addressing the following issues:
(1)is the collection necessary to the proper functions of the USGS minerals information mission;
(2)will this information be processed and used in a timely manner;
(3)is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4)how the USGS might enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(5)how the USGS might minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of information technology. Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personally identifiable information

While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your PII from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. *Abstract:* The National Mining and Minerals Policy Act of 1970 (30 U.S.C. 21(a)) and the National Materials and Minerals Policy, Research and Development Act of 1980 (30 U.S.C. 1601 *et seq.* ) mandate that the Secretary of the Interior collect, evaluate, and analyze information concerning mineral occurrence, production, and use for the domestic mineral industry and to inform Congress of important domestic mining and minerals industries developments, including crises. Many of the responsibilities regarding mineral resources are delegated to the USGS by Secretary's Order No. 3193, “Transfer of Selected Functions from the U.S. Bureau of Mines to the U.S. Geological Survey,” and are carried out, in part, through this information collection. Respondents to these forms supply the USGS with domestic exploration, development, and production data. These data and derived information will be published as a chapter in the “Minerals Yearbook.” *Title of Collection:* Mine, Development, and Mineral Exploration Supplement. *OMB Control Number:* 1028-0060. *Form Number:* USGS Form 9-4000-A. *Type of Review:* Renewal with extension of a currently approved information collection. *Respondents/Affected Public:* Businesses or other for-profit institutions: U.S. nonfuel minerals and exploration operations. *Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents:* 324. *Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses:* 324. *Estimated Completion Time per Response:* 45 minutes. *Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours:* 243. *Respondent's Obligation:* Voluntary. *Frequency of Collection:* Annually. *Total Estimated Annual Non-hour Burden Cost:* There are no “non-hour cost” burdens associated with this ICR. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, nor is a person required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The authorities for this action are the PRA of 1995, the National Mining and Minerals Policy Act of 1970, and the National Materials and Minerals Policy, Research and Development Act of 1980. Braden Harker, Director, National Minerals Information Center, U.S. Geological Survey. [FR Doc. 2025-10186 Filed 6-4-25; 8:45 am]
