Change Memo - SCTOD Collection - OMB 0915-0310

Health Resources and Services DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Administration Rockville, MD 20857

TO: Kelsi Feltz, OMB Desk Officer

FROM: Samantha Miller, HRSA Information Collection Clearance Officer

Request: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Division of Transplantation requests approval for non-substantive changes to the Stem Cell Therapeutic Outcomes Database (SCTOD) Collection (OMB 0915-0310 expiration date 08/31/2025).

Purpose: The purpose of this request is to request minor revisions to the pre-transplant and post-transplant data collection to maintain current and effective data collection. This memo explains the changes and supporting rationale.

Two pre-transplant variables are revised to include updates in the instructions. First, ‘none’ is added as a response option for the question “Additional drugs given (peri-transplant) period” (see Table 1, Item ID PRE001). Second, redundancy in the overall instructions with the specific question about clinical trials is removed (see Table 1, Item ID PRE564).

Post-transplant variables are similarly revised to remove redundant instructional text, including 17 instances of language referring to a date of last report in individual questions and to replace with instructional text at the top of the information collection, and to remove navigational instructions to enable the accurate collection of data regarding the use of additional cellular therapy. Finally, additional clarifying instructional text is added to improve data collection on chimerism results (see Table 2, Item ID POST076).

Time Sensitivity: The SCTOD data collection changes must be completed in a timely manner to fulfill C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program requirements. These nominal changes are considered non-substantive. Approval of these changes is needed by March 1, 2023, to implement the changes in the data collection system during the scheduled Spring 2023 release. If this timeline is not met, the next release of data collection forms is scheduled approximately three months later.

Burden: The changes requested are non-substantive and do not substantially change the estimated reporting burden for patients with these indications and may even lead to reductions in the burden by clarifying instructions for users.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES FOR STEM CELL THERAPEUTIC OUTCOMES DATABASE VARIABLES.

Further details can be found in Attachment 1 (complete spreadsheet of data collection to support the SCTOD).
