DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Health Resources and Services 

Administration 

C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation 

Program: National Cord Blood 

Inventory Related Cord Blood Donor 

Demonstration Project 

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA), HHS. 

ACTION: Request for information. 

SUMMARY: Public Law 109–129 requires 

the Secretary of Health and Human 

Services to establish a 3-year 

demonstration project for qualified cord 

blood banks to collect and store at no 

charge to families, umbilical cord blood 

units for families where a first-degree 

relative has been diagnosed with a 

condition that may benefit from blood 

stem cell transplantation. Umbilical 

cord blood units collected through the 

demonstration project do not count 

toward the current National Cord Blood 

Inventory (NCBI) goal of 150,000 cord 

blood units to be made available 

through the C.W. Bill Young Cell 

Transplantation Program. Qualified 

umbilical cord blood banks 

participating in the demonstration 

project must provide assurances that the 

cord blood units will be available for 

directed transplantation until such time 

as the cord blood unit is needed. Within 

90 days of the termination of the 

demonstration project, the Secretary 

will submit to Congress a report on the 

outcomes of the project including 

recommendations with respect to the 

continuation of such a project. 

HRSA’s Healthcare Systems Bureau 

(HSB), Division of Transplantation 

(DoT) is in the process of informationgathering to assist in implementation of 

the related cord blood demonstration 

project. The purpose of this solicitation 

is to receive public input on the 

following: (1) The key questions that 

should be studied through this project; 

(2) the mechanism for funding this 

project; and, (3) umbilical cord blood 

bank liability. 

HRSA has identified the following 

key study questions to be considered in 

the design of this demonstration project: 

(1) What is the value and feasibility of 

implementing a long-term program 

modeled after this demonstration 

project; (2) how often and for what 

clinical indications are cord blood units 

banked through this project used for 

transplantation; (3) what is the 

breakdown of cord blood units 

collected, stored, and transplanted by 

race, ethnicity, and disease; (4) do those 

cord blood units, especially those 

released for transplant, represent rare 

Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) types 

such that the recipient would otherwise 

have been unable to find a matched 

unrelated donor; (5) how do transplant 

outcomes using these cord blood units 

compare to unrelated allogeneic 

umbilical cord blood transplants and 

unrelated allogeneic transplants using 

blood stem cells from adult donors; and, 

(6) what are the general physical 

characteristics of these units (e.g., total 

nucleated count, CD34+ content) and 

how does their quality compare to that 

of the general public inventory. 

HRSA proposes to invite the first 

cohort of umbilical cord blood banks 

receiving NCBI contracts to submit 

competitive proposals for participation 

in this demonstration project with an 

emphasis on: (1) Establishment of 

nationwide collections; and, (2) 

encouraging banks to subcontract with 

other experienced, high-quality cord 

blood banks to assist in their education, 

collection, processing, and storing 

efforts. HRSA has approximately 

$200,000 available for this 

demonstration project this fiscal year 

and anticipates selecting 2 or 3 banks to 

participate in this demonstration project 

to be funded through modification of 

their existing NCBI contracts with 

HRSA. 

HRSA recognizes the need for this 

service is likely greater than what can be 

satisfied in a limited demonstration 

project. Because of the great diversity in 

HLA types among African-Americans, 

HRSA recognizes that patients from this 

population are significantly less likely 

to find a suitably matched unrelated 

blood stem cell donor than patients 

from other racial or ethnic groups. 

Therefore, HRSA invites comments on 

the desirability of limiting participation 

to African-American families in which a 

first-degree relative has been diagnosed 

with a condition that may benefit from 

blood stem cell transplantation. 

HRSA understands that there may be 

special considerations associated with 

liability for those umbilical cord blood 

banks participating in this project. 

HRSA invites comment on how 

umbilical cord blood banks 

participating in this project may best 

address these concerns. 

Interested parties are invited to 

submit written comments on the key 

study questions, the funding approach, 

and umbilical cord blood bank liability 

for this demonstration project to the 

address below. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received at HRSA by June 18, 2007.

Background 

On December 20, 2005, the Stem Cell 

Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005 

was enacted as Public Law 109–129. 

The Act authorizes the establishment of 

the National Cord Blood Inventory and 

the C.W. Bill Young Cell 

Transplantation Program successor to 

the National Bone Marrow Donor 

Registry. The National Cord Blood 

Inventory is to be comprised of 150,000 

high quality, genetically diverse cord 

blood units to be made available 

through the C.W. Bill Young Cell 

Transplantation Program for patients in 

need of a blood stem cell transplant. 

The Act also authorizes establishment of 

a 3-year related cord blood donor 

demonstration project to begin in FY 

2007. 

Program Authority 

The C.W. Bill Young Cell 

Transplantation Program is authorized 

by Public Law 109–129, which amends 

Part I of the Public Health Service Act.
