    Information Collection Request Title: Hospital Campaign for Organ 
Donation Scorecard OMB No. 0915-0373--Revision.

[[Page 37878]]

    Abstract: HRSA's Hospital Campaign for Organ Donation continues to 
enlist the help of healthcare organizations nationwide to increase the 
number of registered organ, eye, and tissue donors by hosting 
education, outreach, and donor registration events in their facilities 
and communities. A scorecard identifies activities that participants 
can implement and assigns points to each activity. Participants that 
earn a certain number of points annually are recognized by HRSA and the 
campaign's national partners.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: There is a substantial 
imbalance in the U.S. between the more than 106,000 people whose lives 
depend on organ transplants and the annual number of organ donors 
(approximately 18,000 living and deceased donors). This imbalance 
results in approximately 17 deaths per day; about 6,200 waiting list 
deaths annually. In addition, a person in need of a life-saving or 
life-improving organ transplant is added to the national organ 
transplant waiting list every 9 minutes. In response to the need for 
increased donation, HRSA conducts public outreach initiatives to 
encourage the American public to enroll on state donor registries as 
future organ 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 campaign 
process and outcome. The scorecard also enables HRSA to make data-based 
decisions and improvements for subsequent campaigns.
    Likely Respondents: Hospital development and public relations staff 
of organ procurement and other donation organizations; hospital staff 
such as nurses or public relations/communications professionals and 
staff members. Additional respondents may include staff at physician's 
offices, health clinics, and emergency medical services; and/or 
volunteers that specifically work with health care organizations on 
organ donation initiatives and activities, who may have been engaged by 
or invited through word-of-mouth, local organ procurement 
organizations, and/or peers, and/or who work within a medical and/or 
health care setting, but outside of a hospital environment.
    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.
