Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 127 / Tuesday, July 2, 2019 / Notices
of 1995, 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 no
later than September 3, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to
paperwork@hrsa.gov or mail the HRSA
Information Collection Clearance
Officer, Room 14N136B, 5600 Fishers
Lane, Rockville, Maryland 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 Lisa Wright-Solomon, 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:
Hospital Campaign for Organ Donation
Scorecard OMB No. 0915–0373,
Revision.
Abstract: HRSA’s Hospital Campaign
for Organ Donation enlists healthcare
organizations nationwide to increase the
number of registered organ, eye, and
tissue donors by hosting education and
donor registration events in their
facilities and communities. A scorecard
identifies activities that participants can
implement and assigns points to each
activity. Participants that earn a certain
number of points annually are
recognized by HRSA and the campaign’s
national partners.
For this information collection
request, the proposed change to the
Scorecard is the addition of the 2020
date. HRSA also intends to create a new
electronic version of the Scorecard for
future campaigns that will ultimately
reduce the level of burden for
participants. The electronic version will
be designed to be user friendly, will take
less time to complete, and will provide
HRSA with data throughout the
campaign rather than once a year.
Another benefit of an electronic
scorecard is that it will eliminate the
possibility of human error as
information will no longer be manually
entered into a database.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: There is a substantial
imbalance in the U.S. between the
number of people whose lives depends
on organ transplants (currently more
than 113,000) and the annual number of
organ donors (approximately 14,000
living and deceased donors). This
imbalance results in about 7,300 waiting
list deaths annually. In response to the
need for increased donation, HRSA
conducts public outreach initiatives to
encourage the American public to enroll
on state donor registries as future organ
donors.
The Scorecard motivates and
facilitates healthcare organizations’
participation in the campaign, provides
the basis for rewarding participants for
their accomplishments, and enables
HRSA to measure and evaluate
campaign process and outcome. The
scorecard also enables HRSA to make
data-based decisions and improvements
for subsequent campaigns.
Likely Respondents: The likely
respondents include the following:
Hospital development and public
relations staff of organ procurement and
other donation organizations; hospital
staff such as nurses or public relations/
communications professionals and staff
members; staff at physician’s offices,
health clinics, and emergency medical
services; or volunteers that work with
healthcare organizations on organ
donation initiatives.
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
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
