SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Navigation Improvement Surveys; OMB Control Number 0710-NAVS.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operates,
maintains, and improves much of the nation's navigation infrastructure.
This includes inland navigation infrastructure (locks, dams and
channels) and coastal infrastructure (major ports and ship channels).
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
[[Page 35521]]
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
complements the empirical data.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Annual Burden Hours: 666.67.
Number of Respondents: 1,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 1,000.
Average Burden per Response: 40 minutes.
Frequency: As required.
The surveys will be administered to shippers, carriers, liner
service providers, and commercial fishers who rely on the navigation
infrastructure. They will be conducted in-person, by phone, or by mail.
The surveys will not be administered electronically. USACE staff or
contractors working on navigation feasibility studies will administer
the survey by contacting shippers, carriers, liner service providers,
and commercial fishers directly by traveling to the study area and
meeting workers on site. Phone and mail surveys will also be used
sparingly as needed. Respondents of mailed surveys will complete the
survey on paper and mail their responses back to USACE or the
contractor acting on behalf of USACE.
