Title of the Collection: National Blood Collection & Utilization

Type of Collection: Revision.
OMB No.: 0990-0313 Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health/
HHS.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH)
is requesting approval for a three-year revised information collection
request (ICR) titled ``National Blood Collection & Utilization Survey
(NBCUS).'' The NBCUS is a biennial survey that
[[Page 66011]]
includes a core of standard questions on blood collection, processing,
and utilization practices. Questions on transfusion-transmitted
infections, transfusion associated circulatory overload, acute
hemolysis, delayed hemolysis, and severe allergic reactions are also
included in the survey. 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. In 2023,
two sections were removed from the survey related to the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on the blood supply during the course of 2020.
Survey respondents will consist of blood collection centers 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. The total estimated burden
is 5,106 hours.
