Basis and Purpose

    The Waterways Analysis and Management System was implemented to 
ensure a complete and organized process for matching waterway 
attributes and services, most significantly the aids to navigation 
system, with user needs. The Missouri River study includes navigable 
waters from Sioux City, IA to St. Louis, MO and specifically targets 
the navigation channel, marking of the navigation channel, movement of 
commerce and navigation support for the diverse uses of the river. WAMS 
studies are conducted periodically to better understand users' needs 
and facilitate safe and effective waterways. Some of the aspects 
addressed by WAMS are:
     Are all the aids necessary?
     Should aids be added, changed or removed?
     Is the right aid being used for the job?
     Are the aids marked in a correct and visible manner?
     Are these aids being used properly by both the Coast Guard 
and the waterway users?
    It is the intent of Coast Guard Sector Upper Mississippi River to 
collect comments and materials from this listening session, along with 
navigation surveys and other information, to establish and preserve the 
reasonable needs of navigation on this river.
    This notice is issued under authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
