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.
