    Needs and Uses: USACE operates, maintains, and improves much of the 
nation's navigation infrastructure. This includes inland navigation 
infrastructure and coastal infrastructure. USACE conducts periodic 
navigation improvement studies to ensure continuity of operations now 
and into the future. To fully evaluate these studies, USACE needs data 
on the use of the Nation's waterways, the extent of navigation 
inefficiencies, and anticipated changes in vessel operations and sizes. 
This information is used in planning studies to formulate and evaluate 
the projected benefits and impacts of alternatives. Navigation 
improvement studies conducted by USACE typically use empirical data 
provided by the USACE Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center; however, 
the impacts on waterway traffic of alternative capital and operations 
and maintenance investment strategies collected by these surveys will 
complement the empirical data.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Frequency: As Required.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Matthew Oreska.
