quality data pertaining to one structural
measure, which is entitled: Participation
in a Quality Assessment and
Performance Improvement (QAPI)
Program that Includes at Least Three
Quality Indicators Related to Patient
Care.
Since the publication of the 60-day
Federal Register notice, there have been
some revision made to the Supporting
Statement A and B of this PRA package.
These revisions have been made in
order to: (1) Correct several very minor
errors; (2) make the content of the
document more descriptive; and (3) to
add additional information about the
program that has become available since
publication of the 60-day notice. The
operational details of the program have
progressed and been finalized.
Therefore, these changes will reflect
information pertaining to operational
details of the program that was not
available at the time that the PRA
package documents were published.
There have been no changes to the
Information Collection Request that is
the subject of this PRA package. There
has been no change in the estimated
burden that will be required of
providers. Form Number: CMS–10390

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects
(section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United
States Code, as amended by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub.
L. 104–13), the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA)
publishes periodic summaries of
proposed projects being developed for
submission to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. To request more
information on the proposed project or
to obtain a copy of the data collection
plans and draft instruments, email
paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA
Reports Clearance Officer at (301) 443–
1129.
Comments are invited on: (a) The
proposed collection of information for
the proper performance of the functions
of the Agency; (b) the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Proposed Project: Organ Procurement
and Transplantation Network and
Scientific Registry of Transplant
Recipients Data System (OMB No.
0915–0157)—[Revision]
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). The OPTN, among
other responsibilities, operates and
maintains a national waiting list of
PO 00000
Frm 00069
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
individuals requiring organ transplants,
maintains a computerized system for
matching donor organs with transplant
candidates on the waiting list, and
operates a 24-hour system to facilitate
matching organs with individuals
included in the list.
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 if
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 others for evaluation,
research, patient information, and other
important purposes.
The OPTN is recommending addition
of a new Liver Explant Pathology form
to the OPTN data system. This new form
was developed by the OPTN Liver and
Intestinal Organ Transplantation
Committee and will be used to collect
pathology data on liver transplant
recipients who received waitlist
exception points as a result of a
diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Existing OPTN policy requires
submission of post-transplant pathology
reports by fax transmission, and the
proposed form will provide
standardized collection of this alreadyrequired information.
There are also minor revisions to the
existing data collection forms; the added
fields were inadvertently left off of the
forms at the time of the initial
submission. Several of these fields are
‘‘read only’’ and are included on the
forms for information purposes only.
One field is proposed to be removed as
it represented duplicative information.
The annual estimate of burden is as
follows:

Proposed Project: Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network and
Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients Data System (OMB No. 0915-
0157)--[Revision]
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). The OPTN,
among other responsibilities, operates and maintains a national waiting
list of individuals requiring organ transplants, maintains a
computerized system for matching donor organs with transplant
candidates on the waiting list, and operates a 24-hour system to
facilitate matching organs with individuals included in the list.
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 if 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 others for evaluation, research, patient information, and other
important purposes.
The OPTN is recommending addition of a new Liver Explant Pathology
form to the OPTN data system. This new form was developed by the OPTN
Liver and Intestinal Organ Transplantation Committee and will be used
to collect pathology data on liver transplant recipients who received
waitlist exception points as a result of a diagnosis of hepatocellular
carcinoma. Existing OPTN policy requires submission of post-transplant
pathology reports by fax transmission, and the proposed form will
provide standardized collection of this already-required information.
There are also minor revisions to the existing data collection
forms; the added fields were inadvertently left off of the forms at the
time of the initial submission. Several of these fields are ``read

field is proposed to be removed as it represented duplicative
