Title of the Collection: 2021 National Blood Collection &
Utilization Survey.
Type of Collection: Revision.
OMB No. 0990-0313: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health.
Abstract: The 2021 National Blood Collection and Utilization Survey
is a biennial survey of the blood collection and utilization community
to produce reliable and accurate estimates of national and regional
collections, utilization and safety of all blood products. The survey
includes a core of standard questions on blood collection, processing,
and utilization practices. The rapidly changing environment in blood
supply and demand makes it important to have regular, periodic data
describing the state of U.S. blood collections and transfusions for
understanding the dynamics of blood safety and availability. Two
sections were added to the survey to capture information on the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic on the blood supply during the course of 2020.
The COVID-19 supplemental sections will only be included on the survey
once.
Survey respondents will consist of blood collection centers, cord
blood banks, and hospitals that perform blood transfusions, except
those reporting fewer than 100 inpatient surgeries per year. For the
purposes of this ICR, federal burden is only being placed on facilities
located within the fifty states and the District of Columbia.
OMB approval is requested for three years. The total estimated
annual burden is 4,532 hours.
