The PHS Guideline recommends
procedures to diminish the risk of transmission of infectious
agents to the xenotransplantation product recipient and to the
general public. The PHS Guideline is intended to address public
health issues raised by xenotransplantation, through identification
of general principles of prevention and control of infectious
diseases associated with xenotransplantation that may pose a hazard
to the public health. The collections of information described in
this PHS Guideline include the notification of certain information
to FDA or to the sponsor, and documentation of certain information
associated with xenotransplantation. The collections of information
are intended to provide general guidance on the following topics:
(1) The development of xenotransplantation clinical protocols, (2)
the preparation of submissions to FDA, and (3) the conduct of
xenotransplantation clinical trials. Also, the collections of
information are intended to help ensure that the sponsor maintains
important information in a cross-referenced system that links the
relevant records of the xenotransplantation product recipient,
xenotransplantation product, source animal(s), animal procurement
center, and significant nosocomial exposures. The PHS Guideline
describes an occupational health service program for the protection
of health care workers involved in xenotransplantation procedures,
caring for xenotransplantation product recipients, and performing
associated laboratory testing.

The previous total estimated
annual burden was 47 hours. The current total annual burden
increase to 60 hours (+13 hours) is mainly attributed to a slight
increase in the number of recordkeepers for both the estimated
number of clinical centers doing xenotransplantation procedures and
the number of sponsors of INDs that include protocols for
xenotransplantation in humans.
