Needs and Uses: The Corps of 

Engineers uses ENG Forms 3931 and 

3932 as the basic instruments to collect 

vessel and operating descriptions for 

use in waterborne commerce statistics. 

These data constitute the sole source for 

domestic vessel characteristics and 

operating descriptions for domestic 

vessels operating on U.S. navigable 

waterways. These data are collected 

from vessel operating companies. These 

data are essential to plans for 

maintaining U.S. navigable waterways. 

These data are also critical to the 

enforcement of the ‘‘Harbor 

Maintenance Tax’’ authorized under 

section 1402 of Public Law 99–662. 

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit. 

Annual Burden Hours: 2,048. 

Number of Respondents: 3,058. 

Responses Per Respondent: 1. 

Average Burden Per Response: 40 

minutes. 

Frequency: Annually.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Information Collection 

The information collected is the basic 

data from which the Corps of Engineers 

compiles and published waterborne 

commerce statistics. The data is used 

not only to report to Congress, but also 

to perform cost benefit studies for new 

projects, rehabilitation projects, and 

O&M of existing 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.
