FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this

the Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Institute for Water Resources, 
Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center, P.O. Box 61280, New Orleans, LA 
70161-1260, or call 703-428-6440.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Record of Arrivals and 
Departures of Vessels at Marine Terminals; ENG Form 3926; OMB Control 
Number 0710-0005.
    Needs and Uses: The Corps of Engineers uses ENG Form 3926 in 
conjunction with ENG 3925, 3925B, 3925C, and 3925P as the basic source 
of input to conduct the Waterborne Commerce Statistics data collection 
program. The data are used to justify maintenance and improvements of 
Federal navigation projects and to produce annual tonnage and trip 
statistics for U.S. waterways and channels.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,800.
    Number of Respondents: 300.
    Responses per Respondent: 12.
    Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Frequency: Monthly.
    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. For example, 
this information is invaluable in documenting the movement of petroleum 
out of Valdez, Alaska, without the information furnished on the ENG 
Form 3926, millions of tons of petroleum would go unreported each year. 
Under-reporting results in increased difficulty justifying maintenance 
of Federal navigation channels.

    Dated: September 23, 2014.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
