SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose and Background
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), located
within the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) announces fees
for vessel sanitation inspections for
Fiscal Year (FY) 2016. These
inspections are conducted by HHS/
CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP).
VSP helps the cruise line industry fulfill
its responsibility for developing and
implementing comprehensive sanitation
programs to minimize the risk for acute
gastroenteritis. Every vessel that has a
foreign itinerary and carries 13 or more
passengers is subject to twice-yearly
unannounced inspections and, when
necessary, reinspection.
DATES: These fees are effective October
1, 2015, through September 30, 2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
CAPT Jaret T. Ames, Chief, Vessel
Sanitation Program, National Center for
Environmental Health, Centers for
HHS/CDC established the Vessel
Sanitation Program (VSP) in the 1970s
as a cooperative activity with the cruise
ship industry. VSP helps the cruise ship
industry prevent and control the
introduction, transmission, and spread
of gastrointestinal illnesses on cruise
ships. VSP operates under the authority
of the Public Health Service Act
(Section 361 of the Public Health
Service Act; 42 U.S.C. 264, ‘‘Control of
Communicable Diseases’’). Regulations
found at 42 CFR 71.41 (Foreign
Quarantine—Requirements Upon
Arrival at U.S. Ports: Sanitary
Inspection; General Provisions) state
that carriers arriving at U.S. ports from
foreign areas are subject to sanitary
inspections to determine whether
rodent, insect, or other vermin
infestations exist, contaminated food or
water, or other sanitary conditions
requiring measures for the prevention of
the introduction, transmission, or
spread of communicable diseases are
present.
The fee schedule for sanitation
inspections of passenger cruise ships by
VSP was first published in the Federal
Register on November 24, 1987 (52 FR
45019). HHS/CDC began collecting fees
on March 1, 1988. This notice
announces fees that are effective for FY
2016, beginning on October 1, 2015,
through September 30, 2016.
The following formula will be used to
determine the fees:

Inspections and reinspections involve
the same procedures, require the same
amount of time, and are therefore
charged at the same rates.

HHS/CDC retains a copy of each reporting
ART program’s annual data files. In addition
to the annual ART reports, the NASS
database is used to evaluate emerging ART
research questions and to monitor safety and
efficacy issues related to ART treatment for
improving maternal and child health
outcomes. ART data files are protected under
an Assurance of Confidentiality pursuant to
Section 308(d) of the Public Health Service
Act (42 U.S.C. 242[m]). This assurance allows
HHS/CDC programs to assure that certain
identifiable data collected on individuals and
institutions involved in research or nonresearch projects remain confidential.
Starting in 2013, researchers may analyze
ART surveillance data using the National
Center for Health Statistics’ (NCHS) Research
Data Center (RDC) under authorization of
Sections 304 and 306 of the Public Health
Service Act, 42 U.S.C.242(k) (See https://
www.cdc.gov/art/AccessData.html).
Researchers requesting access to the NASS
data files are subject to all RDC procedures
and protocols.

helps the cruise ship industry prevent and control the introduction,

inspections are conducted as part of HHS/CDC's VSP. Inspections and
reinspections involve the same procedures, require the same amount of
time, and are therefore charged at the same rates.
