Health Resources and Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, e-mail
[email protected] or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301)
443-1129.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
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 when no alternative sources of data exist 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 29 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:
