USACE works with port authorities from across the United States to develop the statistical port boundaries through an
iterative and collaborative process. Port boundary information is prepared by USACE to increase transparency on public waterborne
commerce statistic reporting, as well as to modernize how the data type is stored, analyzed, and reported. A Port Area is defined by the limits set by overarching legislative enactments of state, county, or city governments, or the corporate limits of a municipality. A port typically refers to a geographical area that includes operational activities related to maritime transport as well as acquisition, operation, and management of port infrastructure and property, such as might be associated with ownership, concession, construction approval, or policy decision-making authority. A Port Statistical Area (PSA) is a region with formally justified shared economic interests and collective reliance on infrastructure related to waterborne movements of commodities that is formally recognized by legislative enactments of state, county, or city governments. PSAs generally contain groups of county legislation for the sole purpose of statistical reporting. Through GIS mapping, legislative boundaries, and stakeholder collaboration, PSAs often serve as the primary unit for aggregating and reporting commerce statistics for broader geographical areas. Per Engineering Regulation 1130-2-520, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Navigation Data Center is responsible to collect, compile, publish, and disseminate waterborne commerce statistics. This task has subsequently been charged to the Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center to perform. Performance of this work is in accordance with the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act of 1922. Included in this work is the definition of a port area. A port area is defined in Engineering Pamphlet 1130-2-520 as: (1) Port limits defined by legislative enactments of state, county, or city governments. (2) The corporate limits of a municipality.
