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 the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (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.
