Terms of Clearance: There is potential overlap among the passenger and crew manifest data collected by the U.S. Coast Guard, CBP (e.g., the Advance Passenger Information System), and this ICR. Before the next renewal, CDC should work with the Coast Guard and CBP to reduce duplication and respondent burden, for example, by using existing manifest data or a joint collection approach and should check in with OMB within six months (January 2027), with the cadence of future updates to be determined at that time.

Abstract: The CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) is requesting a 3-year Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance for this revision information collection request (ICR). In the past three years, the VSP has received 13,352 AGE reports to through its “Maritime Illness Database and Reporting System (MIDRS)” (OMB Control No. 0920-1260; expiration date 04/30/2022). Since the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the number of cruise ship voyages operating to U.S. ports of call. Between March 2020 and October 2021, cruise industry operations were suspended under a federally issued No Sail Order, and then subsequently under a Conditional Sailing Order to prevent the risk of introducing, transmitting, and spreading COVID-19 by cruise ship travelers. As a result, the number of AGE reports submitted to MIDRS in 2020 and 2021 was substantially lower (n=2,667 and n=1,717, respectively), compared to 2019 (n=8,968). The information collected by the VSP is designed to align with and support the collaboration between the cruise ship industry and government to define and reduce health risks associated with vessels and to ensure a healthful and clean environment for vessels’ passengers and crew. The VSP made minimal changes, based on the 2024 experience. VSP amended the numbers to better reflect record submission patterns, while still accounting for potential increases in record counts due to the addition of new ships to fleets and increases in shore-side AGE cases, which leads to increases in cruise ship AGE case counts.
