Given the rapid evolution of COVID-19
and its impact on those with compromised immune systems, it is
imperative for the transplant community to quickly collect and
update COVID-19 related data. Having access to COVID-19 vaccination
status on bone marrow recipients and understanding immune responses
will assist with making informed decisions regarding direct
clinical care. This information will also help clinicians and
researchers make informed policy decisions. For example, CDC
advisors are looking for COVID-19 vaccination data on blood stem
cell transplant recipients; however, collecting these data on
existing OMB forms is not yet approved; therefore, this vital
information has not been collected. The CDC could potentially use
this information to make informed decisions regarding whether to
issue any recommendations for this medically vulnerable
population.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
