SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *Information Collection Request Title:* The Stem Cell Therapeutic Outcomes Database OMB No. 0915-0310—Revision. *Abstract:* The Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005, Public Law (Pub. L.) 109-129, as amended by the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Reauthorization Act of 2015, Public Law 114-104 (the Act), provides for the collection and maintenance of human blood stem cells for the treatment of patients and research. HRSA's Healthcare Systems Bureau has established the Stem Cell Therapeutic Outcomes Database. Operation of this database necessitates certain recordkeeping and reporting requirements to perform the functions related to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation under contract to HHS. The Act requires the Secretary to contract for the establishment and maintenance of information related to patients who have received stem cell therapeutic products and to do so using a standardized, electronic format. Data is collected from transplant centers, under contract, by the Medical College of Wisconsin's Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research and is used for ongoing analysis of transplant outcomes. Over time, there is an expected increase in the number of recipients for whom data are reported as an increasing number of transplants are performed annually and survivorship after transplantation improves. A 60-day notice was published in the **Federal Register** on March 7, 2019, vol. 84, No. 45; pp. 8334-8335. There were no public comments. *Need and Proposed Use of the Information:* HRSA uses the information to carry out its statutory responsibilities. Information is needed to monitor the clinical status of transplantation and provide the Secretary of HHS with an annual report of transplant center specific survival data. Modifications of these forms fall into several categories: Consolidating questions and removing duplicate questions across the forms, implementing `check all that apply' formatting to reduce data entry time, and removing items no longer clinically significant ( *e.g.,* drugs). These modifications reduced the overall hours of burden inventory. *Likely Respondents:* Transplant Centers. *Burden Statement:* Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized in the table below.
