Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a 
copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the 
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443-1129.
    The following request has been submitted to the Office of

Proposed Project: Data System for Organ Procurement and Transplantation 
Network (42 CFR Part 121, OMB No. 0915-0184): Revision

    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 HHS. This is a request for an extension of the current 
record keeping 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, and to ensure that all 
qualified entities are accepted for membership in the OPTN.
