The receipt of specimen information designated for testing by the CDC’s Enterprise Laboratory Information System (ELIMS) is received using an electronic PDF file called the CDC Specimen Submission 50.34 Form or an electronic XSLX file called the Global File Accessioning Template. The nature of the specimen information specified here is not to be construed as a collection that involves the use of any statistical methods nor is it used to make statistical generalizations.

  1. Respondent Universe and Sampling Methods

The source of specimen data submitted to CDC for testing is typically from hospitals, doctor offices, medical clinics, commercial testing labs, universities, state public health laboratories, U.S. federal institutions and foreign institutions. There are no respondent criteria, sampling requirements, or other controlled selection methods used in the collection of this information.

  1. Procedures for the Collection of Information

There are no procedures for collection of information as the CDC Specimen Submission 50.34 Form and Global File accessioning Template are not collections used for statistical methods nor for making statistical generalizations.

  1. Methods to maximize Response Rates and Deal with No Response

Methods to maximize response rates and to deal with no responses do not apply as both the CDC Specimen Submission 50.34 Form and Global File accessioning Template are used by State Public Health Labs, Hospitals and Doctors offices on a non-mandatory, voluntary basis. CDC is not monitoring these factors since the data collected is not used for the purpose of statistical studies


  1. Tests of Procedures or Methods to be undertaken

CDC does not use tests of procedures or methods undertaken since the data collected in the CDC Specimen Submission 50.34 Form and Global File accessioning Template are not used for the purpose of statistical studies.

  1. Individuals Consulted on Statistical Aspects and Individuals Collecting and/or Analyzing Data

The data collected in the CDC Specimen Submission 50.34 Form and Global File accessioning Template are not used for the purpose of statistical studies.
