fiscal year 2006 (October 1, 2005, through September 30, 2006).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Forney, Chief, Vessel Sanitation 
Program, Division of Emergency and Environmental Health Services 
(EEHS), National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Purpose and Background

    The fee schedule for sanitation inspections of passenger cruise 
ships inspected under the Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) was first 
published in the Federal Register on November 24, 1987 (52 FR 45019), 
and CDC began collecting fees on March 1, 1988. Since then, CDC has 
published the fee schedule annually. This notice announces fees 
effective October 1, 2005. The formula used to determine the fees is as 
follows:

Average Cost Per Inspection = Total Cost of VSP / Weight Number of 
Annual Inspection

    The average cost per inspection is multiplied by a size/cost factor 
to determine the fee for vessels in each size category. The size/cost 
factor was established in the proposed fee schedule published in the 
Federal Register on July 17, 1987 (52 FR 27060), and revised in a 
schedule published in the Federal Register on November 28, 1989 (54 FR 
48942). The revised size/cost factor is presented in Appendix A.

Fees

    The fee schedule (Appendix A) will be effective October 1, 2005, 
through September 30, 2006. The fee schedule, which became effective 
October 1, 2001, will remain the same in Fiscal year 2006. If travel 
expenses continue to increase, the fees may be adjusted before 
September 30, 2006, since travel constitutes a sizable portion of VSP's 
costs. If an adjustment is necessary, a notice will be published in the 
Federal Register 30 days before the effective date.

Applicability

    The fees will apply to all passenger cruise vessels for which 
inspections are conducted as part of CDC's VSP.
