SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 30, 2020 CDC issued an Agency 
Order establishing a framework for a phased approach to resuming cruise 
ship passenger operations in U.S. waters (85 FR 70153). The phased 
approach includes: (1) Establishment of laboratory testing of crew 
onboard cruise ships in U.S. waters; (2) simulated voyages designed to 
test a cruise ship operators' ability to mitigate COVID-19 onboard 
cruise ships; (3) a certification process; and (4) a return to 
passenger voyages in a manner that mitigates the risk of COVID-19 
introduction, transmission, or spread among passengers and crew onboard 
ships and ashore to communities.
    In the initial crew testing phase, the Order additionally contained 
requirements for: (1) Shoreside COVID-19 laboratory screening testing 
of all crew currently onboard cruise ships; (2) onboard diagnostic 
testing capabilities for symptomatic travelers (crew and future 
passengers); (3) shoreside COVID-19 laboratory screening testing of all 
newly embarking crew; and (4) continued compliance with complete, 
accurate, and acknowledged, No Sail Order Response Plans.
    On April 2, 2021 CDC released Phase 2A Technical Instructions. 
Phase 2A Technical Instructions assists cruise ship operators in 
documenting the approval of U.S. port and local health authorities as a 
condition of receiving or retaining controlled free pratique to conduct 
a simulated voyage or to obtain a COVID-19 Conditional Sailing 
Certificate to commence restricted passenger voyages. This includes 
documenting the approval of U.S. port and local health authorities in 
developing medical care, housing, and port components (including a 
vaccination component).
    On May 5, 2021 CDC released two documents under Phase 2B and Phase 
3 of the Conditional Sailing Framework: Technical Instructions for 
Simulated Voyages by Cruise Ship Operators under CDC's Framework for 
Conditional Sailing Order and COVID-19 Operations Manual for Simulated 
and Restricted Voyages under the Framework for Conditional Sailing 
Order.
    The Technical Instructions for Simulated Voyages provides technical 
instructions for Phase 2B of CDC's CSO

for cruise ship operators to test the efficacy of their health and 
safety protocols in U.S. waters. In lieu of conducting a simulated 
voyage, a cruise ship operator's responsible officials, at their 
discretion, may sign and submit to CDC an attestation under 18 U.S.C. 
1001 that 98 percent of crew are fully vaccinated and submit to CDC a 
clear and specific vaccination plan and timeline to limit cruise ship 
sailings to 95 percent of passengers who have been verified by the 
cruise ship operator as fully vaccinated prior to sailing.
    CDC's oversight and inspection of cruise ships during simulated and 
restricted passenger voyages will be based on the Operations Manual. 
The findings and/or observations of these inspections will be shared 
with the cruise ship operator. Cruise ship operators are expected to 
align their health and safety protocols with any CDC findings and 
observations. Such findings and observations must also be incorporated 
into the cruise ship operator's simulated voyage after-action report or 
as a condition of applying for and retaining permission to conduct 
restricted passenger voyages. Based on these inspections, CDC may also 
issue additional recommendations to the cruise ship operator that the 
operator should consider for adoption into their health and safety 
protocols as best practices.
