SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Information Collection

    The Corps of Engineers uses ENG Form 3926 as a quality control 
instrument by comparing the data collected on the Corps Vessel 
Operation Report with that collected on ENG Form 3926. The information 
is voluntarily submitted by the respondents to assist the Waterborne 
Commerce Statistics Center in the identification of vessel operators 
who fail to report significant vessel moves and tonnage. This 
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 
go unreported each year.
