Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary to determine usage on the nation's waterway network. The WCSC and the LPMS databases are the sole government sources for information in the United States on domestic waterborne commerce and lock or canal operation. The Army Corps of Engineers is the agency charged with the collection of this data due to its responsibility for the planning, design, construction, rehabilitation, operation, and maintenance of the inland waterway systems, the Great Lakes, and the channels of the coastal ports.

The aggregate data collected under these programs are published in the annual publications, Waterborne Commerce of the United States, Parts 1-5, Lock Performance Monitoring System Quarterly Reports, and Waterborne Transportation Lines of the United States. Each data base and publication provide essential information for an understanding of the utilization of our Nation's navigation systems and the fleet using these systems. The data bases provide essential information to those with the responsibilities over the physical system or to those involved in shipping or moving commodities on the Nation's waterways.” [River and Harbor Act of September 22, 1922 (42 Stat. 1043)].
