Solicitation of Public Comment on Proposed Collection of Fees at United States Ports Designated To Conduct Rodent Infestation Inspections and Issue Deratting and Deratting Exemption Certificates

Samenvatting

The CDC is soliciting comments on a process to begin charging fees for conducting rodent infestation inspection of ships, and issuing Deratting and Deratting Exemption Certificates. While the United States does not require these certificates for ships to enter its seaports, Article 17 of the International Health Regulations requires that the U.S. provide these services and 42 CFR 71.46 authorizes their performance by CDC through the Public Health Service (PHS).
