Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public
comment on proposed data collection projects under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), 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, email [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: Data System for Organ Procurement and Transplantation
Network (42 CFR Part 121, OMB No. 0915-0184): Extension
The operation of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network
(OPTN) necessitates certain recordkeeping and reporting requirements in
order to perform the functions related to organ transplantation under
contract to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This is
a request for an extension of the current recordkeeping and reporting
requirements associated with the OPTN. These data will be used by HRSA
in monitoring the contracts for the OPTN and the Scientific Registry of
Transplant Recipients (SRTR) and in carrying out other statutory
responsibilities. Information is needed to match donor organs with
recipients, to monitor compliance of member organizations with OPTN
rules and requirements, to ensure that all qualified entities are
accepted for membership in the OPTN, and to ensure patient safety.
