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: 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 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.
