CDC is requesting OMB approval of an
Existing collection in use without an OMB Control Number (Generic
clearance). Although the Laboratory Response Network (LRN) Program
Office at CDC has an extensive database of information regarding
all network members, Special Data Calls are sometimes needed to
address issues concerning the response capabilities of member
facilities for priority threat agents or to assess the network's
ability to respond to new emerging threats. Special Data Calls may
be conducted via broadcast e-mail that asks respondent to send
information via email to the LRN help desk or through online survey
tools (i.e., Survey Monkey) which require respondents to go to a
web link and answer a series of questions.
US Code:
42
USC 241 Name of Law: Public Health Service Act
