Review and Approval; Public Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with section 

3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the 

Secretary (OS), Department of Health 

and Human Services, has submitted an 

Information Collection Request (ICR), 

described below, to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. The ICR is for a 

new collection. Comments submitted 

during the first public review of this ICR 

will be provided to OMB. OMB will 

accept further comments from the 

public on this ICR during the review 

and approval period. 

DATES: Comments on the ICR must be 

received on or before December 8, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to 

OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov or via 

facsimile to (202) 395–5806.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When 

submitting comments or requesting 

information, please include the 

Information Collection Request Title 

and document identifier HHS–OS–0990- 

new 30D for reference. 

Information Collection Request Title: 

Tissue and Organ Donor epidemiology 

Study (TODES). 

Abstract: This Study is a request for 

a new data collection OMB Number: 

0990-new TODES is being conducted in 

order to better understand the impact of 

donor screening and selection 

procedures, and to determine the extent 

of donor-donation level data that are 

collected for organ and tissue (including 

ocular) donors. The data that are 

obtained from Organ Procurement 

Organizations (OPOs) and Eye Banks 

will provide a better characterization of 

the deceased donor pool; information 

regarding data management and storage 

practices; and a measure of the degree 

of standardization of data collected by 

various organizations across the U.S. 

TODES may provide better estimates of 

the risk of HIV, HBV and HCV 

infections associated with organ and 

tissue transplantation and the potential 

for disease transmission; illustrate 

differences in laboratory screening 

methods and the impact of protocol 

variations; and serve as a pilot for future 

studies. This retrospective study will 

provide a framework for future, 

prospective studies of organ and tissue 

donors that could inform policy 

decisions regarding donor qualification 

procedures and, potentially, increase 

the donor pool. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: A workshop in June 2005 

(‘‘Preventing Organ and Tissue 

Allograft-Transmitted Infection: 

Priorities for Public Health 

Intervention’’) identified gaps in organ 

and tissue safety in the United States. 

Participants developed a series of 

allograft safety initiatives, assessed 

progress, and identified priorities for 

future interventions. Despite progress, 

improved recognition and prevention of 

donor-derived transmission events is 

needed. It was concluded that this 

requires systems integration across the 

organ and tissue transplantation 

communities including organ 

procurement organizations, eye and 

tissue banks, and transplant infectious 

disease experts. Commitment of 

resources and improved coordination of 

efforts are required to develop essential 

tools to enhance safety for transplant 

recipients. 

Likely Respondents: organ 

procurement organizations, tissue 

banks, eye banks

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Proposed Collection; Public 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Electronic Government Office, 

Department of Health and Human 

Services. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Electronic 

Government Office (EGOV), Department 

of Health and Human Services, 

announces plans to submit an 

Information Collection Request (ICR), 

described below, to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). The 

ICR is to reinstate the use of the 

previously approved information 

collection, Project Abstract Summary, 

assigned OMB control number 0980– 

0204 which expired on 11/30/2011, and 

to reinstate this information collection 

to 4040–0010 with a 3 year clearance. 

The ICR also requests categorizing the 

form as a common form, meaning HHS 

will only request approval for its own 

use of the form rather than aggregating 

the burden estimate across all Federal 

Agencies as was done for previous 

actions on this OMB control number. 

Prior to submitting that ICR to OMB, 

EGOV seeks comments from the public 

regarding the burden estimate, below, or 

any other aspect of the ICR. 

DATES: Comments on the ICR must be 

received on or before January 5, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to 

ed.calimag@hhs.gov or (202) 690–7569. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Ed.Calimag@hhs.gov or (202) 690–7569. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Form is 

available upon request. 

Information Collection Request Title: 

Project Abstract Summary. 

OMB No.: 4040–0010. 

Abstract: The Project Abstract 

Summary provides the Federal grantmaking agencies a simplified alternative 

to the Standard Form 424 data set and 

form. Agencies may use the Project 

Abstract Summary for grant programs 

not required to collect all the data that
