Critical Minerals Investigation – Member Input Requested on Effect to Industry

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is currently engaged in an investigation regarding the effect that a reliance on foreign imports of “critical minerals” and their derivative products (see definition below) has on the national security of the United States. This investigation is being undertaken to determine if any trade actions (such as restrictions on imports, additional tariffs, or promotion of domestic production) should be taken to protect the nation’s security interests.

NSSF is currently considering submitting a comment to BIS on behalf of our members, to illustrate what effect any trade restrictions or additional tariffs on critical minerals might have on our industry. Accordingly, NSSF is interested to learn the following from members:

  1. Do you import critical minerals or their derivative products for further manufacture or resale?
  2. If so, which critical minerals do you import, and at approximately what annual volume?
  3. Which foreign countries do you import these articles from?
  4. For manufacturers – what categories of products are these critical minerals or derivative products incorporated into?
  5. For importers and retailers – what types of derivative products do you import?
  6. If additional tariffs or restrictions on importation were imposed on these articles, what effect would that have on your business? (For example, would your manufacturing costs be greatly impacted? Would increased costs or restrictions on available imports result in decreased sales? Or would such action spur beneficial growth in alternative supply chains?)
  7. Do you have any suggestions on actions that the government might take to reduce dependence on foreign critical minerals without negatively impacting industry? Read more

Watch for Migrating Turtles on Roads

As spring transitions to summer and the warm temperatures roll in, Michiganders weary of winter excitedly begin adventuring across the state. It’s a time of renewal and reinvigoration for many.But as you head out, be on the lookout for turtles, which are also on the move this time of year.

A Blanding's turtle is picked up crossing a highway and moved to safety.Late spring and early summer are times when turtles are moving en masse across the landscape. The females are actively looking for nesting sites, and males also just kind of wander this time of year, moving between the lakes, ponds and streams they call home.

This overland movement often involves crossing roads, which unfortunately results in noticeable levels of turtle mortality throughout the state. That roadkill can be high enough to affect local populations and likely is the largest direct loss of adult turtles by humans.

“I receive calls every year from people in my area about dead turtles on the roads and have few answers for them,” said Scott Heintzelman, fisheries biologist and Central Lake Michigan Unit manager for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. “It is particularly sad to see or hear about turtles that have been intentionally hit on the road.” Read more

The hunt for a grizzly started in the spring of 2024, when Brian van Lanen hunted with Freelance Outdoor Adventure’s guide John Rydeen and good friend Milan Marcetta. The goal was nothing short of a special grizzly.

Knowing that he was coming back in the fall for a moose hunt and still able to use his grizzly tag, Brian was very selective on the spring grizzly he wanted to kill. Read more
