Emergency Cruise Ship Outbreak Investigations (CSOIs)

OMB 0920-1255 ยท HHS/CDC.

OMB 0920-1255

The purpose of this data collection is to allow CDC to conduct emergency cruise ship outbreak investigations (CSOIs) of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) outbreaks or when unusual AGE illness clusters occur. The Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) deploys to the field and conducts CSOIs to assist cruise industry partners as they respond to AGE outbreaks or events on their vessels. Under this generic clearance, CDC will seek emergency PRA clearance for each CSOI within 24-hours of submission to OMB. The data collection period for each CSOI will not exceed 30 days. Data will be gathered by NCEH's VSP. Submission of Revision ICR for 0920-1255 is submitted for approval of Generic mechanism for an additional three years and a reduction in burden hours (4,063 annually) due to the refinement in estimated number of CSOIs conducted annually in response to cruise ship AGE outbreaks.

The latest form for Emergency Cruise Ship Outbreak Investigations (CSOIs) expires 2028-08-31 and is listed under ICR 202503-0920-010.
