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 provides the requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
October 18, 2022, 87 FR 63085. We did not receive any public comments
in response to that notice.
We are again 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. Before including your address, phone number, email
address, or other personal identifying 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,
[[Page 79349]]
we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

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