### Accessing ERLN/WLA Laboratories

How does the ASR or EU representative secure support once they identify potential qualified ERLN or WLA-RP laboratories?

Local or State Level Incidents

If an incident is at the local or state level the EU/ASR is responsible for working directly with laboratories to secure their services. The requesting party would be responsible for paying for the laboratory's services.

Federal Incidents

If an incident is at the federal level or requires specialized analyses such as for chemical warfare agents, the requesting party (EU) can work with their EPA regional laboratory or work directly with the ERLN contact at EPA Headquarters to secure support from ERLN/WLA laboratories.
The EU or the regional laboratory will work with the EPA Headquarters ERLN project officer and contract officer to send out a request for services and a quote to the identified ERLN/WLA laboratories based on the number and type of samples.
