freight and passengers on U.S. navigable waterways and harbors; are 
essential to plans for maintaining U.S. navigable waterways; and are 
critical to enforcing the ``Harbor Maintenance Tax'' authorized under 
Sec. 1402 of Public Law 99-662.

    The information collected is the basic data from which the Corps of 
Engineers compiles and publish waterborne commerce statistics. The data 
is used not only to report to Congress, but also to perform cost 
benefit studies for new projects, and rehabilitation projects. It is 
also used by other Federal agencies involved in transportation and 
security. This data collection program is the sole source for domestic 
navigation statistics.
