Abstract: The Corps of Engineers uses ENG Forms 3925, 3925B, 3925C, and 3925P as the basic instruments to collect waterborne commerce statistics. These dta, collected from vessel opeating companies, constitute the sole source for domestic vessel movements to freight and passengers on U.S. navigable waterways and harbors; are essential to plans for maintaining U.S. navigable waterways; and are critical to enforcing the "Harbor Maintenance Tax" authorized under Section 1402 of PL 99-662.
