Information Collection Request Title:
National Blood Collection and
Utilization Survey OMB No.: 0990–
0313.
Abstract: The National Blood
Collection & Utilization Survey
(NBCUS) is a biennial survey of the
blood collection and utilization
community (industry) to produce
reliable and accurate estimates of
national and regional collections,
utilization, safety, and availability of all
blood products, some cellular
therapeutic products, as well as
information on bacterial testing and
human tissue transplantation that are of
interest to the transfusion medicine
community. The 2013 NBCUS shall be
funded by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS) and
performed by (contactor, to be
determined). In previous years, the
NBCUS program was performed under
the auspices of the National Blood Data
Resource Center (NBDRC), a private
subsidiary of AABB (formerly known as
the American Association of Blood
Banks), with private funding.
The survey includes a core of
standard questions on blood collection,
processing, and utilization practices to
allow for comparison with data from
previous surveys; additionally,
questions to specifically address
emerging and developing issues and
technologies in blood collection and
utilization are included. Biovigilance
remains a key theme for the 2013
survey, as continued from the 2007,
2009, and 2011 iterations. To that end,
questions on transfusion transmitted
infections, transfusion associated
circulatory overload, acute hemolysis,
delayed hemolysis, and severe allergic
reactions are included in the survey.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Under the authority of
Section 301 of the Public Health Service
Act (42 U.S.C. 241), as identified in the
1997 HHS Blood Action Plan, and twice
in the Advisory Committee on Blood &
Tissue Safety & Availability’s (ACBTSA)
recommendations to the Secretary, there
is a need to provide national policy
makers with current supply and
demand data.
Likely Respondents: Respondents will
include approximately 3,000
institutions that include U.S. blood
collection and processing facilities,
hospital-based transfusion blood banks,
and cord blood banks. Participating
institutions will be selected from the
American Hospital Association (AHA)
annual survey database and AABB
member list of blood collection
facilities.
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 ICR are
summarized in the table below.

Secretary for Health seeks to collect data
from the Title X service delivery
grantees on efforts related to outreach
and enrollment to assist individuals in
obtaining health insurance available as
a result of the Affordable Care Act
(ACA). Grantees will be asked to collect
and report information on the numbers
of individuals who are; (1) assisted by
a trained health center worker; (2)
number of individuals who receive an
eligibility determination for the
marketplace, Medicaid or CHIP with the
assistance of a trained worker; and (3)
number of individuals who enroll in an
insurance program with the assistance
of a trained worker. For each of the data
points above, respondents will have the
option to break out the data for partial
Medicaid (i.e. waiver programs), full
Medicaid, and private marketplace
plans. The detailed data will be optional
for those who are able to provide it. The

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 99 / Thursday, May 22, 2014 / Notices
information will be reported for all sites
in their grantee network.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The Title X Family
Planning Program (‘‘Title X program’’ or
‘‘program’’) is the only Federal grant
program dedicated solely to providing
individuals with comprehensive family
planning and related preventive health
services (e.g., screening for breast and
cervical cancer, sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs), and human
immunodeficiency virus [HIV]). By law,
priority is given to persons from lowincome families (Section 1006[c] of Title
X of the Public Health Service Act, 42
USC 300). The Office of Population
Affairs (OPA) within the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Health
administers the Title X program.
In fiscal year 2013, Congress
appropriated approximately $296.8
million for Title X family planning
activities. In accordance with the statute
and regulations (42 Code of Federal
Regulations [CFR] part 59), at least 90%
of the appropriation is used for clinical
family planning services. In 2012, 98
Title X grantees provided family
planning services to five million women
and men through a network of 4,400
community-based clinics that include
state and local health departments,
tribal organizations, and other public
and private nonprofit agencies. There is
at least one clinic that receives Title X
funds and provides services as required
under the Title X statute in 73% of U.S.
counties.
Sixty percent of the clients seen at
Title X funded service sites self-identify
as being uninsured. Seventy percent of
the total clients are under the age 30.
Thus Title X service sites see a large
proportion of young and uninsured
individuals. Over the past years, OPA
has encouraged grantees to develop
enrollment programs to ensure that
clients who are currently uninsured
understand new health insurance
options that are available as a result of
the ACA. Some sites already assist
individuals with enrolling in Medicaid
and other public insurance programs.
With the availability of the health
insurance marketplace, many more
service delivery sites are assisting
clients enroll in health insurance
programs.
OPA does not have any data on how
many sites are assisting and enrolling
clients into health insurance programs.
Thus we seek to collect this data in
order to understand the impact of Title
X funded service sites on assisting and
enrolling clients into insurance
programs. We will utilize this
information to guide strategic planning
around how Title X service sites and
prepare for, and assist with, the full
implementation of the ACA. Through a
separate data collection process called
the Family Planning Annual Report
(FPAR) (OMB No. 0990–0221,
expiration January 31, 2016), OPA
collects information on the insurance
status of the clients served. With the
implementation of the ACA, many of
the traditional clients served by Title X
service sites will qualify for health
insurance.
Likely Respondents: This annual
reporting requirement is for family
planning services delivery projects
authorized and funded by the Title X
Family Planning Program.

[[Page 29446]]
information will be reported for all sites in their grantee network.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The Title X Family
Planning Program (``Title X program'' or ``program'') is the only
Federal grant program dedicated solely to providing individuals with
comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services
(e.g., screening for breast and cervical cancer, sexually transmitted

73% of U.S. counties.
Sixty percent of the clients seen at Title X funded service sites
self-identify as being uninsured. Seventy percent of the total clients
are under the age 30. Thus Title X service sites see a large proportion
of young and uninsured individuals. Over the past years, OPA has
encouraged grantees to develop enrollment programs to ensure that
clients who are currently uninsured understand new health insurance
options that are available as a result of the ACA. Some sites already
assist individuals with enrolling in Medicaid and other public
insurance programs. With the availability of the health insurance
marketplace, many more service delivery sites are assisting clients
enroll in health insurance programs.
OPA does not have any data on how many sites are assisting and
enrolling clients into health insurance programs. Thus we seek to
collect this data in order to understand the impact of Title X funded
service sites on assisting and enrolling clients into insurance
programs. We will utilize this information to guide strategic planning
