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 

paperwork@hrsa.gov 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: Organ Procurement 

and Transplantation Network and 

Scientific Registry of Transplant 

Recipients Data System (OMB No. 

0915–0157)—Extension 

Section 372 of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act requires that the 

Secretary, by contract, provide for the 

establishment and operation of an Organ 

Procurement and Transplantation 

Network (OPTN). The OPTN, among 

other responsibilities, operates and 

maintains a national waiting list of 

individuals requiring organ transplants, 

maintains a computerized system for 

matching donor organs with transplant 

candidates on the waiting list, and 

operates a 24-hour system to facilitate 

matching organs with individuals 

included in the list. 

Data for the OPTN data system are 

collected from transplant hospitals, 

organ procurement organizations, and 

tissue-typing laboratories. The 

information is used to indicate the 

disease severity of transplant 

candidates, to monitor compliance of 

member organizations with OPTN rules 

and requirements, and to report 

periodically on the clinical and 

scientific status of organ donation and 

transplantation in this country. Data are 

used to develop transplant, donation 

and allocation policies, to determine if 

institutional members are complying 

with policy, to determine memberspecific performance, to ensure patient 

safety when no alternative sources of 

data exist and to fulfill the requirements 

of the OPTN Final Rule. The practical 

utility of the data collection is further 

enhanced by requirements that the 

OPTN data must be made available, 

consistent with applicable laws, for use 

by OPTN members, the Scientific 

Registry of Transplant Recipients, the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services, and others for evaluation, 

research, patient information, and other 

important purposes. 

No revisions of the 29 data collection 

forms are proposed at this time; 

however, the OPTN is currently 

undergoing a review of the forms and 

expects to submit proposed revisions 

within the next year. 

The annual estimate of burden is as

NIH’s statutorily mandated operations 

and processes. OER/OD/NIH will 

present data and outcomes from these 

surveys to inform the NIH staff, officers, 

leadership, advisory committees, and 

other decision-making bodies as 

appropriate. Based on feedback from 

these stakeholders, OER/OD/NIH will 

formulate improvement plans and take 

action when necessary. Frequency of 

Response: 1 Response. Affected Public: 

Individuals. Type of Respondents: 

Science professionals (applicants, 

reviewers, Institutional Officials), adult 

science trainees, and the general public.
