Transport kinetic coefficients are calculated for the surface layer of a neutron star, the layer in which the electron gas is strongly degenerate, ideal, and nonrelativistic. The longitudinal electron thermal and electric conductivities and the thermoelectric coefficient are evaluated along a quantizing magnetic field for the three principal mechanisms of scattering electrons: by ions above the crystallization temperature, by high-temperature phonons, and by crystal impurities. The effects of the magnetic field, density, and temperature of the material upon the quantum oscillations of the transport coefficients are analyzed. The results are pertinent to studies of the cooling of neutron stars, nuclear burning of their surface material, and the evolution of their magnetic field.
