As part of its Phased Approach to the
Resumption of Passenger Operations, CDC will collect information
from cruise ships operating or intending to operate in U.S. waters.
This phased approach includes increased reporting of COVID-19 and
COVID-19 like illnesses as well as a number of information
collections designed to ensure cruise ships can prevent, detect,
and respond to outbreaks of COVID-19. This Extension of an existing
Information Collection Request is submitted to allow collection to
continue for an additional three years. The resumption of passenger
voyages in the U.S. has facilitated the introduction and sustained
transmission of COVID-19 among cruise ships, despite high
vaccination rates among both crew and passengers, highlighting the
continued need to temporarily extend CDC’s public health management
to mitigate this risk.
The Temporary Extension
and Modification of the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order
builds upon the phased-in approach to resume cruise ship passenger
operations introduced by the current Order and provides a pathway
to safer, healthier sailing, both to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks on
ships and to prevent passengers and crew from seeding outbreaks at
ports and in the communities where they live .CDC cannot reasonably
comply with the normal clearance given the fact that COVID-19
pandemic continues to spread rapidly around the world, and the
extreme transmissibility of the Delta variant has resulted in
rapidly rising numbers of COVID-19 cases. This Extension serves to
Extend the approval period for this information collection and will
allow CDC to collect data from cruise ship operators after November
1, 2021 when parts of the Order will go into effect.
