The Program is encouraged to evaluate the actual amount of burden hours imposed under this collection and to revise the estimates as appropriate. Prior to publication of the next 60-day notice to renew the collection, CDC will provide OMB with a briefing on how (and if) the generic has been utilized during the 3-year approval. The ongoing utility of the collection will be reassessed at that time.

Abstract: CDC is requesting OMB approval for an extension of this 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.
