as the average response will be 0.1 hour
shorter, and the cost of online survey
can range $3–$4 per survey compared to
$50-$100 for a high quality phone
survey.
To improve the relevance of the data
collected, HRSA solicited
approximately 40 organ donation
subject matter experts for their feedback
on making changes to the survey. Based
on their expert advice, HRSA is revising
the instrument to add, remove, or edit
a few questions as noted in the draft
survey instrument. Example changes
include removing certain questions that
were only relevant for a random-digitdialing sample design, editing certain
questions to add clarity, and adding
questions to highlight emerging topics
such as receiving organ donation
information through a hand-held device
or mobile apps.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA is the primary
federal entity responsible for oversight
of the solid organ and blood stem cell
transplant systems and initiatives to
increase organ donor registration and
donation in the United States. This
survey is the primary method by which
HRSA can obtain information from
Americans about organ donation
attitudes and beliefs. OMB previously
approved this survey and HRSA fielded
it during 2005 and 2012. Results of the
data collected from this survey will
inform the development of appropriate
messages for future public outreach and
educational initiatives. Increasing the
number of completed cases via a web
panel for online survey completion and
modifying the survey instrument
without increasing the survey length
will dramatically improve the quality
and accuracy of the results while
minimizing respondent burden as much
as possible. The revised instrument and
survey fielding methods will allow
research on the attitudes and behaviors
of important subgroups of Americans as
well as research on emerging topics
related to organ donation.
Likely Respondents: A nationally
representative sample of adults over the
age of 18 with a higher number of
responses from populations of interest
such as racial-ethnic minorities,
including African American, Asian,
Native American, and Hispanic
respondents, as well as respondents of
all age groups and education levels.
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. A summary of the total
annual burden hours estimated for this
ICR is in the table below.

Abstract: HRSA is requesting the
Organ Procurement and Transplantation
Network (OPTN) perform a federally
sponsored data collection as part of a
pilot project to monitor the testing of
deceased potential donors possibly
exposed to the Zika virus (ZIKV). The
Zika Pilot Project will have a 12-month
performance period enabling OPTN to
develop a plan to collect data on ways
for organ procurement organizations
(OPOs) to deploy ZIKV donor screening
tests of blood products. The testing is
available under an investigational new
drug application for use on a voluntary
basis in the evaluation of deceased
persons as potential solid organ donors.
OPTN will conduct an analysis of the
data collected under this project to
determine the potential effect of making
available screening tests for ZIKV, when
appropriate, to improve transplant
safety. OPTN will convene a group of
stakeholders to provide guidance and
monitor progress on the ZIKV pilot
project.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: ZIKV is prevalent in
several areas of the United States.
Currently, there is not a ZIKV screening
procedure for OPOs to implement
during the organ allocation process.
HRSA requested OPTN to conduct a
pilot project to monitor the testing of
deceased donors potentially exposed to
ZIKV. The goals of the pilot project are
to:
• Collaborate with experts to define
necessary data elements to understand
the impact of ZIKV testing in deceased
organ donors;
• Deploy a data collection tool to a
limited number of OPOs that agree to
participate in the pilot project; and
• Assess the ability of OPTN to
respond to a public health situation by
collecting data from impacted members
of the transplant community to assess
the national experience.
Likely Respondents: Organ
Procurement 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
