Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 88 / Tuesday, May 8, 2007 / Notices 26137 

Proposed Project: The Stem Cell 

Therapeutic Outcomes Database—

(New) 

The Stem Cell Therapeutic and 

Research Act of 2005 establishes the 

C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation 

Program and provides for the collection 

and maintenance of human blood stem 

cells for the treatment of patients and 

for research. The Health Resources and 

Services Administration’s (HRSA), 

Healthcare Systems Bureau (HSB), is 

establishing the Stem Cell Therapeutic 

Outcomes Database as one component 

of the C.W. Bill Young Cell 

Transplantation Program. Operation of 

this database necessitates certain 

reporting requirements in order to 

perform the functions related to 

hematopoietic stem cell transplantation 

under contract to HHS. The Act requires 

the Secretary to contract for the 

collection and maintenance of 

information related to patients who 

have received stem cell therapeutic 

products and to do so using a 

standardized, electronic format. Data 

will be collected from transplant centers 

in a manner similar to the data 

collection activities historically 

conducted by the Medical College of 

Wisconsin’s Center for International 

Blood and Marrow Transplant Research 

(CIBMTR) and will be used for ongoing 

analysis of transplant outcomes. HRSA 

will use the information in order to 

carry out its statutory responsibilities. 

Information is needed to monitor the 

clinical status of transplantation, and to 

provide the Secretary with an annual 

report of transplant center-specific 

survival data. 

The estimate of burden is as follows:

Total ............................................................................ 225 ........................ 30,825 .......................... 32,040 

The Pre-TED, Product Form, 100-Day Post-TED, 6-Month Post-TED, and 12-Month Post-TED will be collected on all patients during their first 

year of transplant. In subsequent years, patient outcomes will be reported on the Annual Post-TED form. There will be a gradual increase in the 

cumulative reporting burden over time commensurate with the number of survivors for which transplant centers must submit an Annual PostTED. 

Written comments and 

recommendations concerning the 

proposed information collection should 

be sent within 30 days of this notice to:

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Health Resources and Services 

Administration 

Announcement of a Change to the 

Awarding Factors Under the Fiscal 

Year 2007 New Access Points in High 

Poverty Counties (HRSA–07–069) 

Grant Opportunity 

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA), HHS. 

ACTION: Revision to awarding factors. 

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and 

Services Administration (HRSA) is 

announcing a change to the awarding 

factors under the HRSA–07–069 ‘‘New 

Access Points in High Poverty 

Counties’’ funding opportunity [issued 

on Grants.gov March 14, 2007] as they 

relate to awards made under the HRSA–

07–067 ‘‘New Access Points’’ funding 

opportunity for the President’s first 

Health Centers Initiative [issued on 

Grants.gov October 6, 2006]. 

In making award decisions for fiscal 

year (FY) 2007, HRSA will now 

consider granting the same organization 

a new access point award under HRSA–

07–067 and HRSA–07–069. HRSA will 

consider more than one FY 2007 new 

access point award to an organization if, 

and only if each application submitted 

(by the same organization for the two 

different funding opportunities) 

proposes a separate and distinct project 

to serve different counties. That is, there 

must be no overlap or duplication of 

service area, target population, or sites. 

(Under previous HRSA policy, if an 

organization receives a grant award in 

FY 2007 under the first opportunity, 

HRSA–07–067, it could not be awarded 

funds in FY 2007 under HRSA–07–069). 

Applicants for HRSA–07–069 should 

also be aware that each new access 

point application must be complete and 

must be able to stand alone. 

The changes announced in this 

Federal Register Notice do not impact 

any HRSA policy for eligibility under 

the HRSA–07–069. Organizations 

continue to be eligible to submit one 

application under HRSA–07–069, 

irrespective of whether they applied 

under HRSA–07–067 or not. 

Additionally, all other awarding factors 

detailed in HRSA–07–069 remain the 

same.
