Data Calls for the Laboratory Response Network--Extension--(OMB No.
0920-0881, expires 3/31/14)--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Laboratory Response Network (LRN) was established by the
Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) in accordance with Presidential Decision Directive
39, which outlined national anti-terrorism policies and assigned
specific missions to Federal departments and agencies. The LRN's
mission is to maintain an integrated national and international network
of laboratories that can respond to acts of biological, chemical, or
radiological terrorism and other public health emergencies. Federal,
State, and local public health laboratories voluntarily join the LRN.
The LRN Program Office maintains a database of information for each
member laboratory that includes contact information as well as staff
and equipment inventories. However, semiannually or during emergency
response, the LRN Program Office may conduct a Special Data Call to
obtain additional information from LRN Member Laboratories in regards
to biological or chemical terrorism preparedness. Special Data Calls
may be conducted via queries that are distributed by broadcast emails
or by survey tools (i.e. Survey Monkey). This is a request for an
extension to this generic clearance. The only cost to respondents is
their time to respond to the data call. The total annual burden hours
requested is 400 hours.
