SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Information Collection Request Title: Data System for Organ 
Procurement and Transplantation Network OMB No. 0915-0157--Revision.
    Abstract: 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). This is a request for revisions to current OPTN data collection 
forms associated with donor organ procurement and an individual's 
clinical characteristics at the time of registration, transplant, and 
follow-up after the transplant.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: 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 
whether institutional members are complying with policy, to determine 
member-specific performance, to ensure patient safety, 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 members of the public for 
evaluation, research, patient information, and other important 
purposes.
    Likely Respondents: Transplant programs, organ procurement 
organizations, histocompatibility laboratories, medical and scientific 
organizations, and public organizations.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for 
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
