AGENCY:
The Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), Administration
for Children and Families (ACF) will
host a Tribal Consultation to consult on
ACF programs and tribal priorities.
DATES: March 5–6, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Renaissance Hotel, 999 9th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 5, 2009, President Obama
signed the ‘‘Memorandum for the Heads
of Executive Departments and Agencies
on Tribal Consultation.’’ The President
stated that his Administration is
committed to regular and meaningful
consultation and collaboration with
tribal officials in policy decisions that
have tribal implications, including, as
an initial step, through complete and
consistent implementation of Executive
Order 13175.
The United States has a unique legal
and political relationship with Indian

tribal governments, established through
and confirmed by the Constitution of
the United States, treaties, statutes,
executive orders, and judicial decisions.
In recognition of that special
relationship, pursuant to Executive
Order 13175 of November 6, 2000,
executive departments and agencies are
charged with engaging in regular and
meaningful consultation and
collaboration with tribal officials in the
development of Federal policies that
have tribal implications, and are
responsible for strengthening the
government-to-government relationship
between the United States and Indian
tribes.
HHS has taken its responsibility to
comply with Executive Order 13175
very seriously over the past decade,
including the initial implementation of
a Department-wide policy on tribal
consultation and coordination in 1997,
and through multiple evaluations and
revisions of that policy, most recently in
2008. Many HHS agencies have already
developed their own agency-specific
consultation policies that complement
the Department-wide efforts.
In August 2011, ACF issued its
Consultation Policy in partnership with
tribes. This policy will help our
program offices and program office
regional presence to better engage
Federally Recognized Indian Tribes in
the development or revision of policies,
regulations, and proposed legislation
that impact American Indians. ACF
firmly believes that in order to create a
good working relationship with tribes, it
starts with requesting and receiving
input from the tribes to ensure that we
are meeting their needs and to establish
a partnership that can carry us into the
future.
Testimonies may be submitted no
later than February 24, 2012, to: Lillian
Sparks, Commissioner, Administration
for Native Americans, 370 L’Enfant
Promenade SW., Washington, DC 20447.
anacommissioner@acf.hhs.gov.
However, this deadline does not
preclude anyone from providing
testimony at the session and we will, to
the extent that time allows, hear your
testimony. If you plan on attending to
present your testimony, please provide
the name, title, and tribe of the

to facilitate the discussion, we ask that
presenters provide a brief overview of
the testimony and include the specific
issues to be addressed at the session.

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA)
publishes abstracts of information
collection requests under review by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of
the clearance requests submitted to
OMB for review, email
paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA
Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443–
1129.
The following request has been
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget for review under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:
Proposed Project: Data System for
Organ Procurement and
Transplantation Network and
Associated Forms (OMB No. 0915–
0157)—Extension
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

2733
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 12 / Thursday, January 19, 2012 / Notices
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 when no alternative sources of
data exist 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
Number of
respondents
Form
Responses

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.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request

The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project: Data System for Organ Procurement and Transplantation
Network and Associated Forms (OMB No. 0915-0157)--Extension
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
[[Page 2733]]
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 when no alternative
sources of data exist 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
only'' and are included on the forms for information purposes only. One
field is proposed to be removed as it represented duplicative
information.
