Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In compliance with Section
3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Health
Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) has submitted an Information
Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. Comments
submitted during the first public review
of this ICR will be provided to OMB.
OMB will accept further comments from
the public during the review and
approval period.
DATES: Comments on this ICR should be
received no later than April 13, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
including the Information Collection
Request Title, to the desk officer for
HRSA, either by email to OIRA_
submission@omb.eop.gov or by fax to
202–395–5806.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Information Collection Request Title:
Bureau of Health Workforce
Performance Data Collection
OMB No. 0915–0061—Revision
Abstract: Over 40 Bureau of Health
Workforce (BHW) programs award
grants to health professions schools and
training programs across the United
States to develop, expand, and enhance
PO 00000

training, and to strengthen the
distribution of the health workforce.
These programs are authorized by the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 201
et seq.), specifically Titles III, VII, and
VIII. Performance information regarding
these programs is collected in the HRSA
Performance Report for Grants and
Cooperative Agreements (PRGCA). Data
collection activities consisting of an
annual progress and annual
performance report satisfy statutory and
programmatic requirements for
performance measurement and
evaluation (including specific Title III,
VII and VIII requirements), as well as
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) requirements. The
performance measures were last revised
in 2013 to ensure they addressed
programmatic changes, met evolving
program management needs, and
responded to emerging workforce
concerns—especially as a result of the
changes in the Affordable Care Act
(Pub. L. 111–148). As these revisions
were successful, BHW will continue to
use the same progress and performance
forms. BHW is reducing the reporting
burden by eliminating the semi-annual
performance report and moving to
annual progress and performance
reporting.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of the data
collection is to analyze and report
grantee training activities and
education, identify intended practice
locations, and report outcomes of
funded initiatives. Data collected from
these grant programs also provide a
description of the program activities of
approximately 1,700 reporting grantees
to better inform policymakers on the
barriers, opportunities, and outcomes
involved in health care workforce
development. The measures focus on
five key outcomes: (1) Increasing the
workforce supply of diverse welleducated practitioners, (2) increasing
the number of practitioners that practice
in underserved and rural areas, (3)
enhancing the quality of education, (4)
increasing the recruitment, training, and
placement of under-represented groups
in the health workforce, and (5)
supporting educational infrastructure to
increase the capacity to train more
health professionals.
Likely Respondents: Respondents are
awardees of BHW health professions
grant programs.
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

of collecting, validating and verifying

maintaining information, and disclosing

personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search

information. The total annual burden

Information Collection Request Title:
Organ Procurement and Transplantation
Network and Scientific Registry of
Transplant Recipients Data System
OMB No. 0915–0157—Revision.
Abstract: Section 372 of the Public
Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended,
requires that the Secretary, by contract,
provide for the establishment and
operation of an Organ Procurement and
Transplantation Network (OPTN). This
is a request for revisions to current
OPTN data collection forms associated
with an individual’s clinical
characteristics at the time of
registration, transplant, and follow-up
after the transplant. These specific data
elements of the OPTN data system are
collected from transplant hospitals. The
information is used to indicate the
disease severity of transplant
candidates, to monitor compliance of
member organizations with OPTN rules
and requirements, to report periodically
on the clinical and scientific status of
organ donation and transplantation and
other purposes consistent with the law.
Data are used to: (1) Facilitate organ
placement and match donor organs with
recipients; (2) monitor compliance of
member organizations with federal laws
and regulations and with OPTN
requirements; (3) review and report
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
PO 00000

periodically to the public on the status
of organ donation and transplantation in
the United States; (4) provide data to
researchers and government agencies to
study the scientific and clinical status of
organ transplantation; and (5) perform
transplantation-related public health
surveillance including possible
transmission of donor disease. 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 members of the public for
evaluation, research, patient
information, and other important
purposes.
Likely Respondents: Transplant
programs, medical and scientific
organizations, and public organizations.
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: (1) Review instructions;
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; (2) train
personnel to respond to a request for
collection of information; (3) search data
sources; (4) complete and review the
collection of information; and (5) to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this Information
Collection Request are summarized in
the table below.
