SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA, 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 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 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 personally identifiable information
(PII) in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--
including your PII--may be made publicly available at any time. 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.

Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), and we will, upon request,
provide the CTBT Technical Secretariat with geographic locations of
sites where chemical explosions greater than 300 tons TNT-equivalent
have occurred.
