Fees for Sanitation Inspections of 

Cruise Ships 

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC), located 

within the Department of Health and 

Human Services (HHS), announces fees 

for vessel sanitation inspections. These 

inspections are conducted by CDC’s 

Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP). VSP 

assists the cruise line industry in 

fulfilling 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 

inspections and, when necessary, reinspection. 

DATES: These fees are effective March 2, 

2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose and Background 

CDC established VSP in the 1970s as 

a cooperative activity with the cruise 

ship industry. VSP assists the cruise 

ship industry to 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 (42 

U.S.C. 264, ‘‘Control of Communicable 

Diseases’’). Regulations under 42 CFR 

71.41 (Foreign Quarantine— 

Requirements Upon Arrival at U.S. 

Ports: Sanitary Inspection; General 

Provisions) states that carriers arriving 

at U.S. Ports from foreign areas are 

subject to sanitary inspections to 

determine whether there exists rodent, 

insect, or other vermin infestations, 

contaminated food or water, or other 

sanitary conditions requiring measures 

for the prevention of the introduction, 

transmission, or spread of 

communicable diseases. 

The fee schedule for sanitation 

inspections of passenger cruise ships 

inspected under VSP was first 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 24, 1987 (52 FR 45019). CDC 

began collecting fees on March 1, 1988. 

This notice announces fees that are 

effective March 2, 2012. 

The following formula is used to 

determine the fees: 

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 most recently 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 26, 2008 (73 FR 72053). The 

current size and cost factors are 

presented in Appendix A. 

Fee 

The fee schedule (Appendix A) will 

be effective March 2, 2012 through 

September 30, 2012. The fee schedule 

has not changed since October 1, 2006. 

If travel expenses continue to increase, 

the fees may need to be adjusted before 

September 30, 2012, because travel 

constitutes a sizable portion of VSP’s 

costs. If a fee 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: February 22, 2012.

Deputy Associate Director for Science,
