Title of the Collection: National Blood Collection & Utilization
Survey (NBCUS)
Type of Collection: Revision
OMB No. 0990-30D-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 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.
