SUMMARY: This notice announces fees
for vessel sanitation inspections for
fiscal year 2008 (October 1, 2007,
through September 30, 2008).
DATES: Effective Date: October 1, 2007.

Ames, Chief, Vessel Sanitation Program,

Health, Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), 4770 Buford

488–3139, E-mail: Dforney@cdc.gov.
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,
2007.
The formula used to determine the
fees is as follows:
Total cost of VSP
Weighted number of annual inspections.
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
twice and published in the Federal
Register on November 28, 1989 (54 FR
48942) and November 21, 2005 (70 FR
70078). The revised size/cost factor is
presented in Appendix A.
Fee
The fee schedule (Appendix A) will
be effective October 1, 2007, through
September 30, 2008. If travel expenses
continue to increase, the fees may need
adjustment before September 30, 2008,
because 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.
Dated: September 26, 2007.

Chief Information Officer, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
