Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 639–5960 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC or by fax to (202) 395–5806. Written
comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Laboratory Response Network
(LRN)—Existing Data Collection in use
without an OMB Control Number—
National Center for Preparedness,
Detection, and Control of Infectious
Diseases (NCPDCID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Laboratory Response Network
(LRN) was established by the
Validation Studies. LRN Laboratories
participate in multiple Proficiency
Testing Challenges, Exercises and/or
Validation Studies every year consisting
of five to 500 simulated samples
provided by the LRN Program Office. It
is necessary to conduct such challenges
in order to verify the testing capability
of the LRN Laboratories. The rarity of
biological or chemical agents perceived
to be of bioterrorism concern prevents
some LRN Laboratories from
maintaining proficiency as a result of
day-to-day testing. Simulated samples
are therefore distributed to ensure
proficiency across the LRN. The results
obtained from testing these simulated
samples must also be entered into
Results Messenger for evaluation by the
LRN Program Office.
During a surge event resulting from a
bioterrorism or chemical terrorism
attack, LRN Laboratories are also
required to submit all testing results
using LRN Results Messenger. The LRN
Program Office requires these results in
order to track the progression of a
bioterrorism event and respond in the
most efficient and effective way possible
and for data sharing with other Federal
partners involved in the response. The
number of samples tested during a
response to a possible event could range
from 10,000 to more than 500,000
samples depending on the length and
breadth of the event. Since there is
potentially a large range in the number
of samples for a surge event, CDC
estimates the annualized burden for this
event will be 3,000,000 hours or 625
responses per respondent.
Semiannually the LRN Program Office
may conduct a Special Data Call to
obtain additional information from LRN
Member Laboratories in regards to
biological or chemical terrorism
preparedness. Special Data Calls are
conducted using the LRN Web site.
Respondents are public health
laboratorians. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden for
this information collection is 3,176,400
hours.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) in
accordance with Presidential Decision
Directive 39, which outlined national
anti-terrorism policies and assigned
specific missions to federal departments
and agencies. The LRN’s mission is to
maintain an integrated national and
international network of laboratories
that can respond to suspected acts of
biological, chemical, or radiological
terrorism and other public health
emergencies.
When Federal, state and local public
health laboratories voluntarily join the
LRN, they assume specific
responsibilities and are required to
provide information to the LRN Program
Office at CDC. Each laboratory must
submit and maintain complete
information regarding the testing
capabilities of the laboratory.
Biannually, laboratories are required to
review, verify and update their testing
capability information. Complete testing
capability information is required in
order for the LRN Program Office to
determine the ability of the Network to
respond to a biological or chemical
terrorism event. The sensitivity of all
information associated with the LRN
requires the LRN Program Office to
obtain personal information about all
individuals accessing the LRN Web site.
In addition, the LRN Program Office
must be able to contact all laboratory
personnel during an event so each
laboratory staff member that obtains
access to the restricted LRN Web site
must provide his or her contact
information to the LRN Program Office.
As a requirement of membership, LRN
Laboratories must report all biological
and chemical testing results to the LRN
Program at CDC using a CDC developed
software tool called the LRN Results
Messenger. This information is essential
for surveillance of anomalies, to support
response to an event that may involve
multiple agencies and to manage limited
resources. LRN Laboratories must also
participate in and report results for
Proficiency Testing Challenges or

Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–5960 or send
comments to Maryam I. Daneshvar, CDC
Acting Reports Clearance Officer, 1600
Clifton Road, MS D–74, Atlanta, GA
30333 or send an e-mail to
omb@cdc.gov.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
Health (NCEH). Information has been
collected from adult smokers of fullflavor, light and ultralight cigarettes,
however, the target number of
respondents was not achieved during
the initial approval period.
CDC requests OMB approval to
reinstate the information collection after
the expiration date (OMB No. 0920–
0736, exp. 3/31/2010) in order to meet
recruitment goals and complete the data
analysis as outlined in the original
approval. Respondents will be asked to
participate in a laboratory-based
descriptive study of smoking behavior
and analysis of biomarkers of exposure.
Respondents will make two visits to a
laboratory for measurements and
complete a brief smoking diary during
the one-day interval between the two
laboratory visits. Indicators of smoking
behavior such as ventilation poreblocking behavior, puff volume, puff
duration, puff velocity and inter-puff
interval will be assessed. Measures of
exposure to be assessed include
expired-air carbon monoxide boost,
carcinogens, nicotine and its
metabolites in urine, cotinine in saliva
and solanesol in cigarette butts as an
indicator of total smoke exposure.
The goals of this project are to
characterize the range of human
smoking behavior for a variety of
cigarette categories and machinesmoked yields, and to estimate the
levels of biomarkers of exposure with
the various cigarette styles.
CDC Requests OMB approval for two
years. During this period there will be
a reduction in total burden due to the
limited number of respondents needed
to complete the study. No changes to the
data collection instruments or the
estimated burden per response are
proposed. Participation in the study is
voluntary. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
Background and Brief Description
Cigarettes are currently ranked as fullflavor, light or ultralight on the basis of
machine-measured levels of smoke
toxins (yield categories). The machinebased methods approximate human
smoking patterns under controlled
conditions but may not accurately
reflect conditions of actual use,
moreover, public health data have not
consistently shown differences in health
outcomes among smokers of cigarettes
of different machine-smoked yield
categories. Comparison of cigarette
smoke emissions using machinesmoking methods will continue until
something superior is developed,
therefore, machine-smoking must be
adequately informed to yield results that
better reflect human smoking behavior.
In 2007, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) received
OMB approval for a study designed to
elucidate patterns of human smoking
behavior, quantify biomarkers of
exposure to smoke toxins under
conditions of actual use, and determine
how smoking behavior modifies the
relationship between cigarette yield
category, biomarkers of exposure, and
measures of cardiovascular reactivity.
The study has been a collaborative
endeavor involving the National Center
for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) and the
National Center for Environmental
