SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose and Background
The Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP)
is a cooperative activity between the
cruise ship industry and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
Public Health Service, U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services. The
purpose and goals of VSP are to achieve
and maintain a level of sanitation that
will lower the risk for gastrointestinal
diseases and will assist the cruise ship
industry in its efforts to provide a
healthful environment for passengers
and crew.
Comments
In 2003, CDC announced plans to
revise the Vessel Sanitation Operations
Manual, November 2000. Input and
comments requested and received from
the cruise ship industry, private
sanitation consultants, other Federal
E:\FR\FM\29JNN1.SGM

agencies, and other interested parties
were discussed in detail at a public
meeting held in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida, on April 27, 2004. On the basis
of comments received, VSP staff drafted
a third revised manual that was
discussed at a public meeting held in
Fort Lauderdale on August 23–26, 2004.
Input from the cruise ship industry was
critical of this document. VSP revised
the document and incorporated the
comments received from the cruise ship
industry, private sanitation consultants,
and other interested parties who
attended the public meetings or
submitted comments in writing. A final
draft of the VSP Operations Manual,
2005 was put on the VSP Web site
(https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp) and was
presented to attendees at the VSP
annual public meeting held in Fort
Lauderdale on April 26, 2005.
VSP acknowledges the helpful
participation and the input of the cruise
ship industry, private sanitation
consultants, and other interested parties
throughout the revision process. Major
input for this document was provided
by the International Council of Cruise
Lines (ICCL), which represents the 16
largest passenger cruise lines that call
on major ports in the U.S. and abroad.
Implementation and Transition for the
VSP Operations Manual, 2005
The VSP Operations Manual, 2005
will become effective on August 1, 2005.
At that time, the VSP Environmental
Health Officers will begin using the new
manual and inspection report when
they conduct their routine operational
inspections.
For one year or for two routine
inspections, whichever comes first, VSP
staff will document deficiencies that
indicate noncompliance with the 2005
operations manual. However, no points
will be deducted for failure to meet the
revised provisions in the 2005 manual.
During the phase-in period, these
deficiencies will be cited with a star on
the inspection report, and no points will
be deducted so that corrective actions
can be taken.
One example of the new requirements
in the 2005 manual is that hand wash
sinks with the electronic sensors that
cannot be user-adjusted have a
maximum water temperature of 52 °C
(125 °F). The VSP Operations Manual,
2000 required only a minimum water
temperature for the sinks with the
sensors. For the first year or for two
routine inspections, whichever comes
first, inspectors will document water
temperatures above the maximum at the
handwash sinks with the sensors, but
the item will be cited with a star on the
inspection report, and no points will be
deducted.
Applicability
The VSP Operations Manual is
applicable to all passenger cruise
vessels that have international
itineraries and that call on U.S. Ports.
Availability
Final copies of the VSP Operations
Manual, 2005 can be found on the VSP

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
the SSA. Under the Final Rule, which
took effective March 25, 2000, States are
assessed for substantial conformity with
certain Federal requirements for childwelfare services. The Child and Family
Service Reviews (CFSR), administered
by the Children’s Bureau, are designed
to ensure conformity with Federal childwelfare requirements and, ultimately, to
help States improve child-welfare
services and outcomes, specifically
safety, permanency, and well-being
outcomes for child-welfare involved
children and their families. States
determined not to have achieved
substantial conformity in any of the
areas assessed are required to develop
and implement program improvement
plans (PIP) addressing the areas of
nonconformity.
The Systems of Care grant cluster,
from which these data are proposed to
be collected, is designed to encourage
public child-welfare agencies to address
the issues identified in their state’s
CFSR. Although Systems of Care has
shown promise in working with various
at-risk and family populations, it has
not been applied to a child-welfare
target population. The data collected
from these demonstration sites will
allow the Children’s Bureau to test
whether this approach can help States
reach the goals stated in their program
improvement plans and explore how
child welfare can benefit from being
part of a system of care. Data will be
collected via interviews, forms
completed by project staff, surveys,
focus groups and case file reviews. Data
also will be collected to determine the
extent to which the Technical
Assistance (TA) provided, brokered or
contracted by the TA and Evaluation
Center is meeting the needs of the
grantees, and how.
Respondents
Title: Evaluation of the Improving
Child Welfare Outcome Through
Systems of Care Grant Program.

Description: The 1994 Amendments
to the Social Security Act (SSA)

• Members of the Systems of Care
collaborative (may include
representatives from mental health,
juvenile justice, education, health,
among others);
• Child-welfare agency supervisors
