Abstract: 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.
