Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 229 / Wednesday, November 26, 2008 / Notices
Purpose and Background
Program (VSP) was first published in
the Federal Register on November 24,
1987 (52 FR 45019). The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
began collecting fees on March 1, 1988.
The fee schedule for sanitation
inspections of passenger cruise ships
inspected under the Vessel Sanitation
Average cost per inspection =
The average cost per inspection is
multiplied by size and cost factors to
determine the fee for vessels in each
size category. The size and cost factors
were established in the proposed fee
schedule published in the Federal
Register on July 17, 1987 (52 FR 27060).
The fee schedule was twice revised and
was published in the Federal Register
on November 28, 1989 (54 FR 48942)
and on November 21, 2005 (70 FR
Since then, CDC has annually published
the fee schedule. This notice announces
fees that are effective October 1, 2008.
The following formula is used to
determine the fees:
Total cost of VSP
Weighted number of annual inspections
b
70078). The revised size and cost factors
are presented in Appendix A.
in the Federal Register 30 days before
the effective date.
Fee
The fee schedule (Appendix A) will
be effective October 1, 2008, through
September 30, 2009. If travel expenses
continue to increase, the fees may need
adjusting before September 30, 2009,
because travel constitutes a sizable
portion of VSP’s costs. If an adjustment
is necessary, a notice will be published
Applicability
The fees will apply to all passenger
cruise vessels for which inspections are
conducted as part of CDC’s VSP.

Background: NORA is a partnership
program to stimulate innovative
research in occupational safety and
health leading to improved workplace
practices. Unveiled in 1996, NORA has
become a research framework for the
nation. Diverse parties collaborate to
identify the most critical issues in
workplace safety and health. Partners
then work together to develop goals and
objectives for addressing those needs
and to move the research results into
practice. The NIOSH role is facilitator of
the process. For more information about
NORA, see https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/
nora/about.html.
Since 2006, NORA has been
structured according to industrial
sectors. Eight sector groups have been
defined using the North American
Industrial Classification System

(NAICS). After receiving public input
through the Web and town hall
meetings, NORA Sector Councils have
been working to define sector-specific
strategic plans for conducting research
and moving the results into widespread
practice. During 2008, most of these
Councils have posted draft strategic
plans for public comment. One has
posted its finalized National Sector
Agenda after considering comments on
its draft. For more information, see the

Approach,’’ ‘‘NORA Sector Councils,’’
‘‘Sector Agendas’’ and ‘‘Comment on
Draft Sector Agendas’’ from the rightside menu.
