Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public
comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, Pub. L. 104-13), the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) publishes periodic summaries of proposed projects
being developed for submission to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To request more
information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data
collection plans and draft instruments, e-mail [email protected] or
call the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer at (301) 443-1129.
Comments are invited on: (a) The proposed collection of information
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency; (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 or other
forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network and
Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients Data System (OMB No. 0915-
0157)--Extension
Section 372 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act requires that
the Secretary, by contract, provide for the establishment and operation
of an Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN). The OPTN,
among other responsibilities, operates and maintains a national waiting
list of individuals requiring organ transplants, maintains a
computerized system for matching donor organs with transplant
candidates on the waiting list, and operates a 24-hour system to
facilitate matching organs with individuals included in the list.
Data for the OPTN data system are collected from transplant
hospitals, organ procurement organizations, and tissue-typing
laboratories. The information is used to indicate the disease severity
of transplant candidates, to monitor compliance of member organizations
with OPTN rules and requirements, and to report periodically on the
clinical and scientific status of organ donation and transplantation in
this country. Data are used to develop transplant, donation and
allocation policies, to determine if institutional members are
complying with policy, to determine member specific performance, to
ensure patient safety and to fulfill the requirements of the OPTN Final
Rule. The practical utility of the data collection is further enhanced
by requirements that the OPTN data must be made available, consistent
with applicable laws, for use by OPTN members, the Scientific Registry
of Transplant Recipients, the Department of Health and Human Services,
and others for evaluation, research, patient information, and other
important purposes.
No revisions of the 26 data collection forms are proposed at this
time; however, the OPTN is currently undergoing a review of the forms
and expects to submit proposed revisions within the next year.
The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
