Proposed Project: The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network 
(OMB No. 0915-0286)--Extension

    The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) 
necessitates certain record keeping and reporting requirements in order 
to perform the functions related to organ transplantation under 
contract to HHS. OMB requires review and approval of record keeping and 
reporting requirements associated with the final rule governing the 
operation of the OPTN (42 CFR part 121) related to Secretarial review 
and appeals. There are record keeping and reporting requirements 
associated with the process for filing appeals in the case where 
applicants are rejected for membership or designation in the OPTN. To 
date, no appeals have been filed. The burden requirements for this 
process are minimal. The estimate of burden for this process consists 
of preparing a letter requesting reconsideration and compiling 
supporting documentation.
    The estimated annual burden is as follows:
