In consideration of those requests, HHS/CDC is extending the comment period by 30 days to December 23, 2011. CDC also published a supporting document for reference, the Evidence Report. The Evidence Report includes primary evidence, studies, and data tables that were used by the Guideline authors in developing the recommendations in the Guideline. The draft Guideline is for use by organ procurement organizations (OPOs); transplant centers, including physicians, nurses, administrators, and clinical coordinators; laboratory personnel responsible for testing and storing donor and recipient specimens; and persons responsible for developing, implementing, and evaluating infection prevention and control programs for OPOs and transplant centers. This Guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for reducing unexpected transmission of HIV, HBV and HCV from deceased and living organ donors.

this class. The Subcommittee for Dose Reconstruction Reviews was 
established to aid the Advisory Board in carrying out its duty to
