USGS — U.S. Geological Survey

Parent: U.S. Department of the Interior. Domains in this note: usgs.gov.

What they regulate

USGS is Interior’s science bureau (geology, hazards, water, ecosystems, mapping). It does not license securities, commodity futures, freight, insurance, or real-estate brokers. Mineral and energy statistics can inform desks, but counterparties still need SEC/CFTC/FMCSA/state licenses as applicable. See also the Interior agency page for department-level bridges.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. USGS home — Science bureau for geology, hazards, water, ecosystems, and mapping.
  2. USGS mineral / energy science — Public science products — not a commodities broker license register.
