as a cooperative activity with the cruise

industry prevent and control the
introduction and spread of

environmentally associated illnesses
and hazards 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 a foreign area are subject
to sanitary inspections to determine
whether potential rodent, insect, or
other vermin infestations; contaminated
food or water; or other sanitary
conditions require measures to prevent
introduction or spread of communicable
diseases.
New requirements are not the focus
for the VSP Environmental Public
Health Standards (formerly the VSP
Operations Manual) and VSP
Construction Standards (formerly the
VSP Construction Guidelines). Updates
only clarify content or correct errors in
the 2018 editions or address
inconsistencies between the 2018
editions and the Food and Drug
Administration 2022 Food Code.
The draft VSP Environmental Public
Health Standards and VSP Construction
Standards are available online at https://
www.regulations.gov/, Docket No. CDC–
2024–0090, under Supplemental
Materials. All public comments will be
reviewed and considered when
finalizing these documents. Once
finalized, documents will be available
both in docket CDC–2024–0090 and on
CDC’s website at https://www.cdc.gov/
