Modification of United States Ports at

Which Rodent Infestation Inspections

Will Be Conducted and Deratting and

Deratting Exemption Certificates

Issued

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health

and Human Services.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: On September 13, 2000, CDC

published a notice soliciting proposals

to add additional ports to, or otherwise

modify the list of those at which it will

conduct rodent infestation inspection of

ships, and issue Deratting and Deratting

Exemption Certificates. While the

United States does not require these

certificates for ships to enter its

seaports, Article 17 of the International

Health Regulations requires that the

United States provide these services,

and 42 CFR 71.46 authorizes their

performance by CDC through the Public

Health Service (PHS). CDC is expanding

the coverage area of some of the current

11 ports and adding 23 additional ports

for a total of 34 ports.

DATES: Rodent infestation inspection of

ships, and issuance of Deratting and

Deratting Exemption Certificates will

begin at the additional ports on July 1,

2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Purpose and Background

The purpose of this announcement is

to add 23 additional ports to the list of

United States ports at which CDC will

conduct rodent infestation inspections

of ships, and issue Deratting and

Deratting Exemption Certificates. While

the United States does not require these

certificates for ships to enter its

seaports, CDC currently provides rodent

infestation inspections and issues

Deratting and Deratting Exemption

Certificates for ships at 11 major ports

upon request. These ports include:

Baltimore, MD; Honolulu, HI; Houston,

TX; Jacksonville, FL; Los Angeles, CA;

Miami, FL; New Orleans, LA; New York,

NY; San Francisco, CA; Savannah, GA;

and Seattle, WA. Article 17 of the

International Health Regulations,

published by the World Health

Organization, Geneva, Switzerland,

requires that each Health

Administration provide these services,

and Article 82 outlines the criteria for

charging fees. 42 CFR 71.46 authorizes

the performance of these services by

PHS as carried out by CDC. For many

years, CDC provided these services at no

cost to the owners or agents of ships

requesting them. Consistent with the

practice of most foreign countries and to

reduce the cost of the inspection

program, beginning on October 1, 1997,

CDC consolidated its inspection

activities to include only the ports listed

above [63 FR 17427]. Further, beginning

on June 6, 1999, CDC imposed user fees

for inspections conducted at the above

listed ports [64 FR 24658]. Now that the

cost of providing these services is being

passed along as a charge to those

receiving them, and in the interest of

facilitating the expeditious and

economical movement of ships between

the United States and countries that

require a Deratting or Deratting

Exemption Certificate for entry into

their ports, CDC published a Federal

Register notice on September 13, 2000

[65 FR 55253], soliciting requests to add

additional ports to the list at which

services will be provided.

Comments Received

A small number of comments were

received during the comment period.

Most of the comments included a

request that CDC return to the past

practice of conducting rodent

infestation inspections and issuing

deratting exemption certificates at

virtually all U.S. seaports and/or a list

of ports where inspection services

would be most beneficial to them.

Convenience and economy were cited as

reasons for the addition of ports. One

municipality cited a potential economic

benefit to the community if inspections

were available and additional traffic

attracted because of their availability.

None of the comments included the

estimated number of inspections for the

ports requested, and few provided an

estimate of cost savings to the shipping

industry. This supporting information

was requested in the Federal Register

notice.

Conclusion

In deciding where to expand these

services, CDC considered the

information submitted by respondents,

the estimated demand for services, and

the availability and suitability of

potential vendors.

Effective July 1, 2001, rodent

infestation inspections of ships will be

conducted, and Deratting and Deratting

Exemption Certificates issued at the

following U.S. seaports. Inspections will

be conducted upon request, subject to

the availability of a CDC-designated

inspector. A user fee of $150 will

continue to be applicable to all rodent

infestation inspections conducted by

CDC or its vendors.
