Activities: Proposed Collection: Public
Comment Request
Health Resources and Services
Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
In compliance with the
requirement for opportunity for public
comment on proposed data collection
projects (Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995), the
Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) announces
plans to submit an Information
Collection Request (ICR), described
below, to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB). Prior to submitting the
ICR to OMB, HRSA seeks comments
from the public regarding the burden
estimate, below, or any other aspect of
the ICR.
DATES: Comments on this Information
Collection Request must be received
within 60 days of this notice.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to
paperwork@hrsa.gov or mail the HRSA
Information Collection Clearance
Officer, Room 10–29, Parklawn
Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville,
MD 20857.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 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 Information Collection
Clearance Officer at (301) 443–1984.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When
submitting comments or requesting
information, please include the
information request collection title for
reference.
Information Collection Request Title:
National Hospital Organ Donation
Campaign’s Activity Scorecard. OMB
No. 0915-xxxx—New.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA’s Healthcare
Systems Bureau, Division of
Transplantation administers the
Workplace Partnership for Life program
under the authority of Section 377A(a)
of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act,
(42 U.S.C. 274f-1). The Workplace
Partnership for Life program seeks to
increase the number of registered organ,
eye, and tissue donors and to increase
awareness about organ donation. HRSA
launched a challenge to hospitals
nationwide to assist in this effort by
conducting donor education and donor

registry enrollment events in their
hospitals and communities. The
nation’s 58 organ procurement
organizations (OPOs), who already work
with hospitals on clinical aspects of
transplantation, are invited to
participate in HRSA’s National Hospital
Organ Donation Campaign to increase
the number of enrollments in state
donor registries. The Campaign supports
OPOs by providing fresh
communications materials, facilitating
the sharing of best practices, leveraging
the influence of national associations
and organizations related to hospitals
and organ donation, and offering the
additional incentive of national-level
recognition to hospitals.
The National Hospital Organ
Donation Campaign’s Activity Scorecard
is one piece of this campaign. A
campaign leadership committee
comprised of representatives from
OPOs, Donate Life America (DLA)
affiliates, and hospitals helped
conceptualize the Activity Scorecard
which is based on the committee’s
experience of hospital receptivity to
friendly competition and the
opportunity to be recognized among
their peers. The Activity Scorecard
provides hospitals that wish to
participate in the campaign with ideas
for outreach activities. Each activity on
the programmable PDF is assigned a
particular number of points based on
the activity’s potential for generating
registrations.
Hospitals can complete the Activity
Scorecard and submit it by email or fax
it to HRSA or to their OPO or DLA. This
is a voluntary activity. Hospitals can
participate in the campaign without
using the Activity Scorecard. HRSA
anticipates that most hospitals enrolled
in the campaign (currently 802) will
submit a completed Activity Scorecard
once a year.
Most importantly, the Activity
Scorecard provides incentive for
hospitals to conduct activities that will
increase the number of registered
donors throughout the nation. A list of
hospitals that reach these levels will be
shared with all campaign participants
during monthly webinars, in monthly
campaign e-newsletters from HRSA, and
in communications pieces sent out by
the campaign’s ten national partners,
which include the American Hospital
Association, the Association of Organ
Procurement Organizations, and the
American Society of Transplant
Surgeons. In addition, OPOs, DLA
affiliates, participating state hospital
associations, HRSA, and the national
partners can use the results to recognize
hospital participation and successes.
The ‘‘write-in’’ option that allows
hospitals to list additional activities will
help to identify best practices that can
be shared with all hospital partners on
monthly webinars.
Likely Respondents: A hospital
representative, most often the organ
donation champion identified by the
OPO, can download the form from
organdonor.gov or receive it from their
OPO or Donate Life America (DLA)
affiliate.
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.
