Proposed Project: National Blood Collection and Utilization
Survey--Reinstatement without Change-- OMB No. 0990-0313--The Office of
the Advisory Committee on Blood Safety and Availability.
Abstract: The NBCUS is a biennial survey of the blood collection
and utilization community to produce reliable and accurate estimates of
national and regional collections, utilization and safety of all blood
products.
The objective of the NBCUS is to produce reliable and accurate
estimates of national and regional collections, utilization, and safety
of all blood products--red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and
platelets, as well as related cellular therapy products. This survey
will significantly improve the federal government's capacity to
understand the dynamics of blood supply, safety and availability, and
to provide a quantitative basis for assessing strategic and regulatory
agendas. An important purpose of the 2011 survey is to help the federal
government continue to monitor trends in blood availability since a
variety of factors have come to play that have reduced the number of
people eligible to give blood and, as stated in the evolving National
Strategic Plan for Blood, this information is critical to ensure an
adequate supply of safe blood in the United States.
