Information Collection Request Title:
Information and Referral and
Professional Training Impact Surveys
in Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA)—Funded
Traumatic Brain Injury Grants (OMB
No. 0915–xxxx)—New
Abstract: This survey is designed to
collect information from HRSA-funded
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) State
Implementation Partnership Grants and
Protection and Advocacy for Traumatic
Brain Injury (TBI) Grants regarding the
impact of grant activities on individuals
with traumatic brain injury and their
family members. The authority for this
program is the Public Health Service
Act, Title XII, Section 1252 (42 U.S.C.
300d–52) as amended by the Children’s
Health Act of 2000, sec. 1304, Public
Law 106–310, as further amended by the
Traumatic Brain Injury Act of 2008, sec.
6, Public Law 110–206.
Individuals with TBI present with a
host of different symptoms, which exist
with varying levels of severity.
Comprehensive appropriate care often
requires a variety of services such as
physical rehabilitation, speech
rehabilitation, cognitive rehabilitation,
special education accommodations,
vocational skills coaching, and
independent living skills training,
which are located across many state and
local agencies. For this reason,
individuals with TBI and their family
members often have difficulty
identifying local providers with the
skills and expertise to deliver services
that will promote recovery and
maximize independence.
Per the authorizing legislation, the
intent of these programs is to improve
access to rehabilitation and other
services regarding traumatic brain
injury. The HRSA State Implementation
Partnership Grants and State Protection
and Advocacy Grants support this
charge by providing information to
individuals with TBI and their families
about TBI and making referrals to local
providers equipped to meet the unique
needs of each survivor. Additionally,
these grant programs train providers in
various settings to identify and
effectively serve individuals with TBI
and their families.
To date, a number of grantees have
collected data independently to
determine the impact of their work on
individuals with TBI and their families.
HRSA proposes uniform data collection
surveys for these two categories of
activities—information and referral

services, and professional training—to
assess the extent to which these
activities are increasing access to
rehabilitation and other services. In
addition to providing uniform data
across these grant programs, the data
will help determine what efforts might
improve outreach and provision of
services for future projects.
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
the table below.

Information Collection Request Title:
Organ Donation/Transplant Life Stories
(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
E:\FR\FM\13MYN1.SGM
13MYN1
27974
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 92 / Monday, May 13, 2013 / Notices
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
Number of

public to enhance public viewing and
understanding of the organ donation
process. Submission of a story and
completion of the form is voluntary.
Overall, this application has the
potential to strengthen DoT’s outreach
efforts and increase organ donation
registration in the United States.
