SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Red River Navigation
Transportation Rate Survey; OMB Control Number 0710-RRNS.
Type of Request: New.
Number of Respondents: 100.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 100.
Average Burden per Response: 60 minutes.
Annual Burden Hours: 100.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operates
and maintains much of the nation's inland navigation infrastructure of
locks, dams, and channels. Inland navigation improvement studies
conducted by the Corps typically use surveys of shippers, carriers, and
others to estimate the impacts on proposed waterway traffic of
alternative capital and operations and maintenance investment
strategies. The data are used to estimate, among other things,
alternative mode cost, shipper response to changes in waterway
transportation cost and reliability. This information is used in
planning studies for evaluated of projected benefits associated with
various plans. The USACE Tulsa District (SWT) and the Red River
Waterway Commission request approval of a survey instrument that
collects information from business owners to analyze potential benefits
associated with a proposed navigation channel along the Red River from
Denison Dam to Index, AR. The survey will assist in analyzing how
businesses in the region currently transport their commodities and how
the option of a navigable waterway would affect these movements.
Respondents will be businesses in the study area that could use the
proposed navigation channel. Respondents will be identified based on
analysis of data from the Surface Transportation Board and with the
assistance of the Red River Valley Association, which has numerous
contacts with regional business and industry groups. These businesses
will be selected based on primary types and volume of commodities
shipped and surveys will be provided to respondents with the
opportunity to respond. SWT will conduct follow-up phone calls if
necessary. Surveys will be conducted using telephone and in-person
interviews, as well as via an online survey platform. The Red River
Valley Association will assist in garnering industry support for
completion of the survey. Information from the questionnaire items for
the collection of planning data is needed to formulate and evaluate
alternative water resources development plans in accordance with the
Principles and Guidelines for Water Related Land Resources
Implementation Studies, promulgated by the U.S. Water Resources
Council, 1983, which specifically identifies interviews with shippers,
carriers and port officials as well as commodity consultants and
experts to; identify commodity types, study area, commodity flow,
estimate transportation cost and forecast waterway use. In the Corps of
Engineers Engineering Regulation 1105-2-100, ``Planning Guidance
Notebook,'' benefits are defined as transportation cost reduction
benefits, including shift of mode and shift of origin-destination and
new movement benefits. Failure to gather this information would result
in Corps studies relying on incomplete or dated information regarding
the cost and use of the navigation systems and the impacts of proposed
capital improvements.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
Frequency: Once.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Matthew Oreska.
