SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA of 1995, as part
of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burdens, 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.
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
(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.

Abstract: The collection of this information is required by the
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), and will, upon request, provide

The responsibility to collect and monitor explosives information is
delegated to the USGS and is carried out through this information
collection.
