    In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, the Department of the Army announces a proposed public 
information collection and seeks public comment on the provisions 
thereof. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection 
of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions 
of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the information collection on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology.

DATE: Consideration will be given to all comments received by May 15, 
2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations on the proposed 
information collection should be sent to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 
Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center, P.O. Box 61280, New Orleans, LA 
70161 ATTN: CEWRC-NDC-C (J. Alexander Wieriman). Consideration will be 
given to all comments received within 60 days of the date of 
publication of this notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this 
proposed information collection or to obtain a copy of the proposal and 
associated collection instruments, please write to the above address, 
or call Department of the Army Reports clearance officer at (703) 614-
0454.
    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Record of Arrivals and 
Departures of Vessels at Marine Terminals, ENG Form 3926, OMB Number 
0710-0005.
    Needs and Uses: The Corps of Engineers uses ENG Form 3926, as a 
quality control instrument by comparing the data collected on the 
Corps' Vessel Operation Report (OMB Control Number 0710-0006) with that 
collected on the ENG Form 3926. The information is voluntarily 
submitted by the respondents to assist the Waterborne commerce 
Statistics Center (WCSC) in the identification of vessel operators who 
fail to report significant vessel moves and tonnage.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
    Annual Burden Hours: 2,500.
    Number of Respondents: 450.
    Responses Per Respondent: 12.
    Average Burden Per Response: 5 minutes.
    Frequency: Voluntary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information is invaluable in documenting 
the movement of petroleum products out of Valdez, Alaska. Without the 
information furnished on the ENG Form 3926 at least 50,000,000 tons of 
petroleum products would got unreported each year. This situation 
exists because there are many vessel operating companies moving crude 
petroleum from Valdez to points south.
