Sec. 121.5  Listing requirements.

    (a) A transplant hospital which is an OPTN member may list 
individuals, consistent with the OPTN's criteria under Sec. 
121.8(b)(1), only for a designated transplant program.
    (b) Transplant hospitals shall assure that individuals are placed on 
the waiting list as soon as they are determined to be candidates for 
transplantation.

The OPTN shall advise transplant hospitals of the information needed for 
such listing.
    (c) An OPTN member shall pay a registration fee to the OPTN for each 
transplant candidate it places on the waiting list. The amount of such 
fee shall be calculated to cover (together with contract funds awarded 
by the Secretary) the reasonable costs of operating the OPTN and shall 
be determined by the OPTN with the approval of the Secretary. No less 
often than annually, and whether or not a change is proposed, the OPTN 
shall submit to the Secretary a statement of its proposed registration 
fee, together with such supporting information as the Secretary finds 
necessary to determine the reasonableness or adequacy of the fee 
schedule and projected revenues. This submission is due at least three 
months before the beginning of the OPTN's fiscal year. The Secretary 
will approve, modify, or disapprove the amount of the fee within a 
reasonable time of receiving the OPTN's submission.
