This is a request to revise the current Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) data collection associated with institutional (including transplant hospital, organ procurement organization, and transplant histocompatibility laboratory) and non-institutional (medical/scientific and public organization, business and individual) applications to meet or sustain requirements for OPTN membership. This request include adding two new data collection forms (Hope Act Variance Request and Kidney Paired Donation Pilot Program or KPDPP contact update form), three standalone forms (Primary Program Administrator, Primary Data Coordinator, and Additional Surgeon and Physician) for revised data collection, and a revision of organ-specific applications found in the Certificate of Assessment and Program Coverage Plan Membership Application (COA/PCP). The likely respondents are new and existing transplant hospitals, organ procurement organization, histocompatibility laboratories, medical/scientific organization, public organization, business and individual members.

Note: The burden table on the Supporting Statement are slightly different than the 30 Day FRN due to a rounding issue. The The burden estimates are derived from Burden Surveys sent out by the OPTN Contractor to the OPTN members who have participated in this data collection activity. The survey is sent to 5-9 members per form. The survey results are collected from the respondents and the Average Burden is calculated. Changes to the burden hours from the last approval are due to agency discretion (i.e., changes in the estimated burden).
Changes to the forms are proposed to make application requirements even clearer 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. 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. More detail is provided in the supporting statement.
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).
