                SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we,
                the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are proposing to renew an information
                collection.
                DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
                December 30, 2019.
                ADDRESSES: Send your comments on this information collection request
                (ICR) by mail to U.S. Geological Survey, Information Collections
                Officer, 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, MS 159, Reston, VA 20192; or by
                email to [email protected]. Please reference OMB Control
                Number 1028-0070 in the subject line of your comments.
                FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information
                about this ICR, contact Elizabeth S. Sangine by email at
                [email protected], or by telephone at 703-648-7720.
                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
                Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies
                with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and
                continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact
                of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
                reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information
                collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired
                format.
                 We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described
                below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the
                following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper
                functions of the USGS; (2) will this information be processed and used
                in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
                might the USGS enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
                information to be collected; and (5) how might the USGS 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 personal identifying information in
                your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including
                your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available
                at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your
                personal identifying information from public review, we cannot
                guarantee that we will be able to do so.
                 Abstract: Respondents to this form supply the U.S. Geological

                assist in determining National Defense Stockpile goals. These data and
                derived information will be published as chapters in Minerals
