information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize 
the burden of the information collection on respondents, including 
through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by April 
12, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations on the proposed 
information collection should be sent to Department of the Army, U.S. 
Army Corps of Engineers, Institute for Water Resources, Corps of 
Engineers, Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center, P.O. Box 61280, New 
Orleans, LA 70161-1280, ATTN: CEWRC-NDC-C (Doug Blakemore). 
Consideration will be given to all comments received within 60 days of 
the date of publication of this notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this 
proposed information collection or to obtain a copy of the proposal and 
associated collection instruments, please write to the above address, 
or call Department of the Army Reports Clearance Officer at (703) 325-
8433.
    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 Form 3925, 3925B, and 3925P as the basic source of 
input to conduct the Waterborne Commerce Statistics data collection 
program. The annual publications ``Waterborne Commerce of the United 
States, Parts 1-5'' are the results of this program.
    Affected Public: Business Or Other For-Profit.
    Annual burden Hours: 2,500.
    Number of Respondents: 400.
    Responses per Respondent: 5,400.
    Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
    Frequency: Monthly.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 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. This 
information is invaluable in documenting the movement of petroleum 
products out of Valdez, Alaska. Without the information furnished on 
the ENG Form 3926 at least 50,000,000 tons of petroleum products would 
go unreported each year.
