Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 55 / Thursday, March 21, 2013 / Notices
submit two Part A MAI Reports
annually: The Part A MAI Plan (Plan)
and the Part A MAI Year-End Annual
Report (Annual Report). The Plan and
Annual Report components of the report
are linked to minimize the reporting
burden and include drop-down menu
responses; fields for reporting budget,
expenditure, and aggregated client level
data; and open-ended responses for
describing client or service-level
outcomes. Together, the Plan and
Annual Report components collect
information from grantees on MAIfunded services, expenditure patterns,
the number and demographics of clients
served, and client-level outcomes.
The MAI Plan Narrative that
accompanies the Plan web forms
provides: (1) An explanation of the data
submitted in the Plan web forms; (2) a
summary of the Plan, including the plan
and timeline for disbursing funds,
monitoring service delivery, and
implementing any service-related
capacity development or technical
assistance activities; and (3) the plan
and timeline for documenting clientlevel outcome measures. In addition, if
the EMA/TGA revised any planned
services, allocation amounts, or target
communities after their grant
application was submitted, the changes
must be highlighted and explained. The
accompanying MAI Annual Report
Narrative describes: (1) Progress towards
achieving specific goals and objectives
identified in the grantee’s approved
MAI Plan for that fiscal year and in
linking MAI services/activities to Part A
and other Ryan White Program services;
(2) achievements in relation to clientlevel health outcomes; (3) summary of
challenges or barriers at the provider or
grantee levels, the strategies and/or
action steps implemented to address
them, and lessons learned; and (4)
discussion of MAI technical assistance
needs identified by the EMA/TGA.
This information is needed to monitor
and assess: (1) Changes in the type and
amount of HIV/AIDS health care and
related services being provided to each
disproportionately impacted community
of color; (2) the aggregate number of
persons receiving HIV/AIDS services
within each racial and ethnic
community; and (3) the impact of Part
A MAI-funded services in terms of
client-level and service-level health
outcomes. This information also is used
to plan new technical assistance and
17417
capacity development activities, and
influence the HRSA policy and program
management functions. The data
provided to HRSA does not contain
individual or personally identifiable
information. No changes have been
made to the Part A MAI Report.
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 Information
Collection Request are summarized in

Information Collection Request Title:
Organ and Tissue Donor and Recipient
Life Stories Form (OMB No. 0915–
xxxx)—NEW
Abstract: HRSA’s Division of
Transplantation (DoT) is the primary
entity in the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) responsible for
the Organ Transplant Program
established under the National Organ
Transplant Act (Pub. L. 98–507, codified
at sections 371–377D of the Public
Health Service (PHS) Act). Section 377A
of the PHS Act authorizes the Secretary
of HHS to establish a public education
program to increase awareness about
organ donation and the need to provide
for an adequate rate of such donations.
In brief, DoT’s responsibilities are twofold: (1) To provide oversight and
guidance to the national organ
transplant system in the U.S. including
monitoring the Organ Procurement and
Transplantation Network and the
Scientific Registry of Transplant
Recipients, and (2) to implement a
program of public and professional
education and outreach aimed at
increasing the number of organ donors

in this country. Many preventable
deaths occur each year because of a
staggering imbalance between the
supply and demand for donor organs.
As of March 2013, the national
transplant waiting list exceeded
117,000. In 2011, the total number of
deceased and living organ donors was
only 14,145. These donors enabled
28,538 patients to receive a transplant
while 6,693 died waiting. Without
successful interventions to increase
donation, the disparity between need
and supply is likely to be substantially
exacerbated, resulting in more
unnecessary deaths.
Organdonor.gov is DoT’s primary
mechanism for providing the public
with information about organ donation.
Among the most visited pages on
organdonor.gov are the donor and
recipient life stories which in a recent
evaluation study were shown to raise
interest on the topic and, more
important, persuade people to register
as organ donors. To expand this
component of organdonor.gov, DoT
proposes to develop an application to
give organ recipients, living donors, and
donor families the opportunity to
voluntarily submit their stories to DoT
via a standardized online form. The
online form will be posted on
organdonor.gov and will collect
demographic and contact information,
the individual’s donation/transplant
story up to 500 words, a high resolution
photo, and a signed authorization. The
standardized, electronic form will
increase HRSA staff’s ability to process
those stories more efficiently. In
addition to enabling story submission,
the online application process will
make the donor and recipient life stories
posted on the site searchable by the
public to enhance public viewing and
understanding of the organ donation
process. Submission of a story and
completion of the form is voluntary.
