The purpose of this information collection (IC) is for the CDC to assure that the Traceable Opioid Material* Kits (TOM Kits*) are being distributed to different types of laboratories in public, private, and non-profit sectors. The intended use is: 1) To gather information on the types of laboratories requesting the kits. 2) To determine the types of instrumentation, matrices, and sample size for those requesting kits. Data will be collected by online survey.
US Code:
42 USC 241
Name of Law: Public Health Service Act
CDC is requesting approval for a total time burden of 80 hours per year, which is a decrease of 40 hours over the previously approved 120 hours. We estimate a total number of 900 responses per year which is a decrease of 300 over the previously approved 1,200 responses.
As part of this revision, CDC is changing the title of this ICR from âDistribution of Traceable Opioid Material* Kits (TOM Kits*) across U.S. Laboratoriesâ to âDistribution of Traceable Opioid Material* Kits (TOM Kits*) across U.S. and International Laboratories.â The title change is necessary due to the expansion of test kit distribution to international customers. Additional revisions include the following:
⢠CDC is adding their new line of TOM Kits*, Emergent Drug Panel (EDP) Kits, for distribution. The EDP compounds are identified by doing a search of recent lists put out by the DEA and the Center for Forensic Science Research and Education (CFSRE). These lists provide data on all classes of drugs that were recently identified in the field and provide recommendations on which drugs should be included in testing. These classes of drugs may be found mixed with opioids and contribute to the opioid epidemic. These lists are updated several times a year and keep up with the changing drug landscape in the United States.
⢠CDC will continue to distribute TOM Kits*, including the new EDP Kits, through a single vendor instead of two.
