FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: E:\FR\FM\26JNN1.SGM 26JNN1 38381 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 124 / Friday, June 26, 2020 / Notices Abstract: This is a request for OMB approval for revisions of the application documents used to collect information for determining if the interested party is compliant with membership requirements contained in the final rule Governing the Operation of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), (42 CFR part 121) ‘‘the OPTN final rule.’’ A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on February 13, 2020, vol. 85, No. 30; pp. 8300–02. There were no public comments. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Membership in the OPTN is determined by submission of application materials to the OPTN (not to HRSA) demonstrating that the applicant meets all required criteria for membership and will agree to comply with all applicable provisions of the National Organ Transplant Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 273, et seq., the OPTN final rule, OPTN Policies, and OPTN Bylaws. Section 1138 of the Social Security Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 1320b–8 (section 1138) requires that hospitals in which transplants are performed by members of, and abide by, the rules and requirements of the OPTN (that have been approved by the Secretary of HHS) as a condition of participation in Medicare and Medicaid. Proposed Revisions to OPTN Membership Applications: Changes to the forms are proposed to make application requirements more clear and organized, and thus less cumbersome for applicants to complete. Proposed revisions include changes to wording to make questions more consistent with the language of the OPTN Bylaws (Bylaws). In addition, the applications have been revised so that the sequence of questions is parallel to that of the Bylaws. Using the Bylaws as a baseline, the revamped applications have been constructed in parallel order of the Bylaws so that an applicant can have the application and Bylaws side-by-side for easy reference. Additional proposed changes to the application include: • A few major changes were made to the application order of documentation and attachments. The embedded transplant logs were revised in the form of a ‘universal’ surgeon and physician log that will be provided as a separate attachment to the application. This new log will provide applicants with all OPTN Bylaws requirements. We hope the added technology utilized in the log will help applicants complete the log with limited errors. • Also within the applications, ‘‘checkboxes’’—fillable tables that were not checkboxes at all—were removed, and working checkboxes were inserted. The ‘‘narrative’’ section was replaced by checkbox attestations, which will serve the same purpose—understanding relevant and recent surgeon and physician applicant experience. • The previous membership applications had several places for the applicants to sign. The new application requests only one signature from each member applicant involved. • Additional changes to the application process include streamlining previous application attachments for key personnel and living donor components into one form for the respective organ application. • Pediatric Bylaw Requirements, where applicable, were also given their sections within the organ applications. Conversely, the Certificate of Assessment (formerly known as Certificate of Investigation) and the Primary Coverage Plan Checklist was pulled out of the previous organ-specific applications and given their own, separate attachment. These changes will allow OPTN application reviewers to give these application components to applicants in as few attachments as possible. These changes will also allow the United Network for Organ Sharing Membership Team to give these important application components to applicants in as few attachments as possible, but are inclusive of all possible changes within a program. • Further changes have been made to the Vascularized Composite Allograft (VCA) Transplant program applications, which were previously submitted as separate applications for OMB approval based on body part transplanted. These forms have been revised into one single application with sections for each VCA organ type. • Personnel changes for Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) and Histocompatibility Laboratories have also been consolidated into organization applications. OPO and Lab applicants will be able to use one respective application for new and/or personnel changes. Given these changes, the overall burden has decreased significantly from an estimated 7,020 total burden hours to 4,755 hours in this current proposed revision package, although some forms have been combined into one more comprehensive form resulting in increased burden hours for a particular form. Likely Respondents: Parties seeking initial OPTN membership approval and then maintenance of existing OPTN approval. Applicants include the following: Hospitals seeking to perform organ transplants, non-profit organizations seeking to become an organ procurement organization, and medical laboratories seeking to become an OPTN-approved histocompatibility laboratory. In addition, there are other OPTN membership categories for organizations and individuals who want to participate in the organ transplant system, and they are also required to fill out an appropriate application. 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.

RWHAP Allocation and Expenditure PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Reports (A&E Reports), in conjunction with the Consolidated List of Contractors (CLC), will allow HRSA to monitor and track the use of grant funds for compliance with program and grants policies and requirements as outlined in the 2009 legislation. To avoid duplication and reduce recipient reporting burden, HRSA created an electronic grantee contract management system (GCMS) that includes data required for various reports, including the Allocations Reports, the CLC and other HRSA data reports, such as the RWHAP Services Report. Recipients can access GCMS year-round to upload or manually enter data on their service provider contractors and subrecipients, the RWHAP core medical and support services provided, and their funding amounts. GCMS automatically repopulates the data required for the Allocations Reports and other reports. Expenditures Report data are not autopopulated in the GCMS, and are thus still manually reported in the data reporting system. Allocations and Expenditures (A&E) Reports Recipients funded under RWHAP Parts A, B, C, and D are required to report financial data to HRSA at the beginning (Allocations Report) and at the end of their grant budget period E:\FR\FM\26JNN1.SGM 26JNN1

    Information Collection Request Title: Membership Forms for Organ 
Procurement and Transplantation Network OMB No. 0915-0184-Revision.

[[Page 38381]]

    Abstract: This is a request for OMB approval for revisions of the 
application documents used to collect information for determining if 
the interested party is compliant with membership requirements 
contained in the final rule Governing the Operation of the Organ 
Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), (42 CFR part 121) ``the 
OPTN final rule.''
    A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on February 13, 
2020, vol. 85, No. 30; pp. 8300-02. There were no public comments.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Membership in the OPTN is 
determined by submission of application materials to the OPTN (not to 
HRSA) demonstrating that the applicant meets all required criteria for 
membership and will agree to comply with all applicable provisions of 
the National Organ Transplant Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 273, et seq., 
the OPTN final rule, OPTN Policies, and OPTN Bylaws. Section 1138 of 
the Social Security Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 1320b-8 (section 1138) 
requires that hospitals in which transplants are performed by members 
of, and abide by, the rules and requirements of the OPTN (that have 
been approved by the Secretary of HHS) as a condition of participation 
in Medicare and Medicaid.
    Proposed Revisions to OPTN Membership Applications: Changes to the 
forms are proposed to make application requirements more clear and 
organized, and thus less cumbersome for applicants to complete. 
Proposed revisions include changes to wording to make questions more 
consistent with the language of the OPTN Bylaws (Bylaws). In addition, 
the applications have been revised so that the sequence of questions is 
parallel to that of the Bylaws. Using the Bylaws as a baseline, the 
revamped applications have been constructed in parallel order of the 
Bylaws so that an applicant can have the application and Bylaws side-
by-side for easy reference. Additional proposed changes to the 
application include:
     A few major changes were made to the application order of 
documentation and attachments. The embedded transplant logs were 
revised in the form of a `universal' surgeon and physician log that 
will be provided as a separate attachment to the application. This new 
log will provide applicants with all OPTN Bylaws requirements. We hope 
the added technology utilized in the log will help applicants complete 
the log with limited errors.
     Also within the applications, ``checkboxes''--fillable 
tables that were not checkboxes at all--were removed, and working 
checkboxes were inserted. The ``narrative'' section was replaced by 
checkbox attestations, which will serve the same purpose--understanding 
relevant and recent surgeon and physician applicant experience.
     The previous membership applications had several places 
for the applicants to sign. The new application requests only one 
signature from each member applicant involved.
     Additional changes to the application process include 
streamlining previous application attachments for key personnel and 
living donor components into one form for the respective organ 
application.
     Pediatric Bylaw Requirements, where applicable, were also 
given their sections within the organ applications. Conversely, the 
Certificate of Assessment (formerly known as Certificate of 
Investigation) and the Primary Coverage Plan Checklist was pulled out 
of the previous organ-specific applications and given their own, 
separate attachment. These changes will allow OPTN application 
reviewers to give these application components to applicants in as few 
attachments as possible. These changes will also allow the United 
Network for Organ Sharing Membership Team to give these important 
application components to applicants in as few attachments as possible, 
but are inclusive of all possible changes within a program.
     Further changes have been made to the Vascularized 
Composite Allograft (VCA) Transplant program applications, which were 
previously submitted as separate applications for OMB approval based on 
body part transplanted. These forms have been revised into one single 
application with sections for each VCA organ type.
     Personnel changes for Organ Procurement Organizations 
(OPOs) and Histocompatibility Laboratories have also been consolidated 
into organization applications. OPO and Lab applicants will be able to 
use one respective application for new and/or personnel changes.
    Given these changes, the overall burden has decreased significantly 
from an estimated 7,020 total burden hours to 4,755 hours in this 
current proposed revision package, although some forms have been 
combined into one more comprehensive form resulting in increased burden 
hours for a particular form.
    Likely Respondents: Parties seeking initial OPTN membership 
approval and then maintenance of existing OPTN approval. Applicants 
include the following: Hospitals seeking to perform organ transplants, 
non-profit organizations seeking to become an organ procurement 
organization, and medical laboratories seeking to become an OPTN-
approved histocompatibility laboratory. In addition, there are other 
OPTN membership categories for organizations and individuals who want 
to participate in the organ transplant system, and they are also 
required to fill out an appropriate application.
    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.
