SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:52 Oct 04, 2017 Jkt 244001 I. Background The ICH, formerly known as the International Conference on Harmonisation, was established in 1990 as a joint regulatory/industry project to improve, through harmonization, the efficiency of the process for developing and registering new medicinal products in Europe, Japan, and the United States without compromising the regulatory obligations of safety and effectiveness. In 2015 the ICH was reformed to make the ICH a true global initiative that expands beyond the previous ICH members. More involvement from regulators around the world is expected, as they will join their counterparts from Europe, Japan, the United States, Canada, and Switzerland as ICH regulatory members. The reforms build on a 25-year track record of successful delivery of harmonized guidelines for global pharmaceutical development, and their regulation. In recent years, many important initiatives have been undertaken by regulatory authorities and industry associations to promote international harmonization of regulatory requirements. FDA has participated in many meetings designed to enhance harmonization and is committed to seeking scientifically based harmonized technical procedures for pharmaceutical development. One of the goals of harmonization is to identify and then reduce differences in technical requirements for medical product development among regulatory Agencies. ICH was organized to provide an opportunity for harmonization initiatives to be developed with input from both regulatory and industry representatives. The ICH process has achieved significant harmonization of the technical requirements for the approval of pharmaceuticals for human use in the ICH regions over the past two decades. The current ICH process and structure can be found at the following Web site: https://www.ich.org. (FDA has verified the Web site addresses as of the date this document publishes in the Federal Register, but Web sites are subject to change over time.) II. Webinar Attendance and Participation A.

Information Collection Request Title: Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients Information Collection Effort for Potential Donors for Living Organ Donation—OMB No. 0906–xxxx—New Abstract: The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) is administered under contract with HRSA, an agency of HHS. HHS is authorized to establish and maintain mechanisms to evaluate the long-term effects associated with living donations (42 U.S.C. 273a) and is required to submit to Congress an annual report on the long-term health effects of living donation (42 U.S.C. 273b). The SRTR contractor will establish a pilot living donor registry in which 14 transplant programs will register all potential living donors who provide informed consent to participate in the pilot registry. The SRTR’s authority to collect information concerning potential living donors is set forth in the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network final rule requiring Organ Procurement Organizations and transplant hospitals to submit to the SRTR, as appropriate, information regarding ‘‘donors of organs’’ and ‘‘other information that the Secretary deems appropriate.’’ 42 CFR 121.11(b)(2). Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The transplant programs will submit health information collected at the time of donation evaluation through a secure web-based data collection tool developed by the contractor. The SRTR contractor will maintain contact with registry participants and collect data on longterm health outcomes through surveys. The data collection will also include outcomes of evaluation including reasons for non-donation. The goal of the pilot registry is to develop data collection tools and survey instruments that can be used to expand the registry to include most, if not all, living donor transplant programs in the United States over time. Monitoring and reporting of long-term health outcomes of living donors post donation will provide useful information to transplant programs in their future donor selection process and will aid potential living donors in their decision to pursue living donation. Likely Respondents: Potential living donors, 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 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.

Transplant Recipients Information Collection Effort for Potential 
Donors for Living Organ Donation--OMB No. 0906-xxxx--New
    Abstract: The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) 
is administered under contract with HRSA, an agency of HHS. HHS is 
authorized to establish and maintain mechanisms to evaluate the long-
term effects associated with living donations (42 U.S.C. 273a) and is 
required to submit to Congress an annual report on the long-term health 
effects of living donation (42 U.S.C. 273b). The SRTR contractor will 
establish a pilot living donor registry in which 14 transplant programs 
will register all potential living donors who provide informed consent 
to participate in the pilot registry. The SRTR's authority to collect 
information concerning potential living donors is set forth in the 
Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network final rule requiring 
Organ Procurement Organizations and transplant hospitals to submit to 
the SRTR, as appropriate, information regarding ``donors of organs'' 
and ``other information that the Secretary deems appropriate.'' 42 CFR 
121.11(b)(2).
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The transplant programs 
will submit health information collected at the time of donation 
evaluation through a secure web-based data collection tool developed by 
the contractor. The SRTR contractor will maintain contact with registry 
participants and collect data on long-term health outcomes through 
surveys. The data collection will also include outcomes of evaluation 
including reasons for non-donation. The goal of the pilot registry is 
to develop data collection tools and survey instruments that can be 
used to expand the registry to include most, if not all, living donor 
transplant programs in the United States over time. Monitoring and 
reporting of long-term health outcomes of living donors post donation 
will provide useful information to transplant programs in their future 
donor selection process and will aid potential living donors in their 
decision to pursue living donation.
    Likely Respondents: Potential living donors, 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 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.

    HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and 
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper 
performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the
