SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Information Collection Request Title: National Survey of Organ 
Donation Attitudes and Practices, OMB No. 0915-0290--Extension.
    Abstract: HRSA is requesting approval by OMB for an extension of a 
previously approved collection of information (OMB control number 0915-
0290). The National Survey of Organ Donation Attitudes and Practices is 
conducted approximately every 6-7 years and serves a critical role in 
providing HRSA and the donation community with data regarding why 
Americans choose to donate organs, current barriers to donation, and 
possible paths to increasing donations. Survey data and derived 
analytic insights help HRSA develop and target appropriate messages for 
public outreach and educational initiatives.
    A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on April 19, 
2021, vol. 86, No. 73; pp. 20374. There were no public comments.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: OMB previously approved 
this survey and HRSA fielded it during 2005, 2012, and 2019. Results of 
the data collected from this survey will help develop appropriate 
messages for future public outreach and educational initiatives to 
increase awareness about organ donation and ultimately the number of 
registered donors.
    Likely Respondents: A nationally representative sample of adults 
over the age of 18 with a high number of responses from populations of 
interest such as racial-ethnic minorities, including African American, 
Asian, Native American, and Hispanic respondents, as well as 
respondents of all age groups and education levels.
    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 collecting, validating, verifying, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and 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. A 
summary of the total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR is in 
the table below.
