    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to determine usage on the nation's waterway network. The authority for 
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to collect data on vessel 
operations and cargo movements is given by Section 11 of 42 Stat. 1043, 
the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act of 1922, as amended by Public 
Law 99-662 and codified in 33 U.S.C. 555. Using both the ENG 3925, 
``Vessel Operation Report'' forms and ENG Form 3926, ``Record of 
Arrivals and Departures of Vessels,'' the Waterborne Commerce 
Statistics Center (WCSC) is able to paint a complete picture of vessel 
movements and cargo carried on U.S. waterways. Each set of data 
produced from the forms allows WCSC to ensure accuracy and 
completeness. The data are used to annually publish Waterborne Commerce 
of the United States (WCUS) Ports and Waterways which presents detailed 
data on the movements of vessels and commodities at the ports and 
harbors and on the waterways and canals of the United States and its 
territories. It also provides statistics on the foreign and domestic 
waterborne commerce moved through the U.S. waters. Congress receives 
this annual report, and the data contained therein are used in cost-
benefit analyses for new projects, rehabilitation projects, and 
operations and maintenance of existing projects. It is also used by 
other Federal agencies involved in transportation and security. 
Researchers and private organizations also use the data regularly to 
help decide on which locales are best models for their studies/needs.
