Abstract: The purpose of this activity is to collect data related to maritime travelers involved with exposure or contraction of disease when traveling. Respondents include operators of all commercial passenger-carrying vessels, cargo ships, international ferries, fishing boats, and research vessels that seek to operate in international waterways and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Some data are required such as reports of ill persons (defined in 42 CFR Part 71.1) and deaths (42 CFR Part 71.21, 70.4, and 70.35). Other information collections help CDC understand risk and facilitate assistance to ships. This is a Reinstatement with Change that includes removal and addition of instruments and a burden decrease.
