    Information Collection Request Title: DoNation General Workplace 
Campaign Scorecard, OMB No. 0906-XXXX--New.
    Abstract: HRSA's DoNation General Workplace Campaign for Organ 
Donation will enlist the help of America's workplaces to increase the 
number of registered organ, eye, and tissue donors by hosting 
awareness, education, outreach, and donor registration events in their 
companies, workplaces, and communities. This campaign would be in 
addition to HRSA's Hospital Campaign, which encourages America's 
medical facilities and hospitals to promote organ, eye, and tissue 
donor registrations. A scorecard identifies activities that 
participants can implement and assigns points to each activity. 
Participants that earn a certain number of points annually will be 
recognized by HHS/HRSA and other national organizations that support 
the campaign's mission. HRSA intends to create an electronic version of 
the scorecard that will be user-friendly and will collect information 
from America's workplaces regarding their donor registration and 
outreach activities. The scorecard will provide HRSA with data 
throughout the campaign year.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: There is a substantial 
imbalance in the U.S. between the number of people whose life depends 
on an organ transplant (approximately 107,000 people on the national 
transplant waiting list) and the annual number of organ transplants 
(approximately 39,000 living and deceased donors in 2020). In response 
to the need for more organ donors, HRSA conducts public outreach 
initiatives to encourage the American public to enroll in their state 
donor registry as future organ, eye, and tissue donors.
    The scorecard motivates and facilitates participation in the 
campaign, provides the basis for rewarding participants for their 
accomplishments, and enables HRSA to measure and evaluate the campaign 
process and outcome. The scorecard also enables HRSA to make data-based 
decisions and improvements for subsequent campaigns.
    Likely Respondents: Community development and public relations 
staff of organ procurement and other donation organizations, general 
workplace staff and/or leadership, such as human resources or public 
relations/communications professionals and other staff members, and/or 
volunteers who work with workplaces and organizations on organ donation 
initiatives.
    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.

    HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and 
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper 
performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the 
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to 
minimize the information collection burden.
