Summary
The CDC is asking for your thoughts on a survey about blood collection and use. They want to make sure the questions are useful, clear, and not too much work for people to answer. You’ve got 30 days to share your ideas before the survey gets final approval, helping keep things smooth and cost-effective for everyone involved.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Survey Burden on Blood Facilities
If you run or operate a blood collection center, hospital blood bank, or a transfusing hospital, CDC plans to collect survey data and estimates a total of 4,612 annual burden hours. The survey lists 2,478 transfusing hospitals, 104 hospital blood banks, and 53 community-based blood centers as respondents, with an average burden per response shown as 105/60 hours. You have 30 days from the notice publication to submit comments.
New Technical Questions Added to NBCUS
The survey will change question wording and add new questions about bacterial transfusion-transmitted infections, length of blood shortages, cold-stored platelets, and pathogen-reduced cryoprecipitated units, and will remove certain policy questions. These content changes alter the information blood centers and transfusing hospitals must provide to CDC when they respond.
