Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``Data Calls for the Laboratory Response
Network'' to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data Collection
Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations'' notice on October
18, 2019 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC
did not receive comments related to the previous notice. This notice
serves to allow an additional 30 days for public and affected agency
comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including, through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
Proposed Project
Data Calls for the Laboratory Response Network (OMB Control Number
0920-0881, Exp. 3/31/2020)--Extension--National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
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, 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
preparedness. The LRN has not used the Generic 0920-0881 in the
previous three years but it is critical that the LRN retain its ability
to survey its members in a timely fashion during emergencies. 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. CDC requests
approval for 68 annual burden hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time to respond to the data call.
