Abstract: The purpose of the National Blood Collection and Utilization Survey (NBCUS) is to produce reliable and accurate estimates of national and regional collections, utilization, and safety of all blood products-red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and platelets. New to the 2007 NBCUS is the identification and collection of baseline data for biovigilance blood safety monitoring.

Emergency Justfication: This request is for OMB emergency clearance for the National Blood Collection and Utilization Survey (NBCUS, prior OMB 0990-0313). The NBCUS 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 2017 NBCUS is funded by Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS/OASH) and performed by CDC. In previous years, a similar survey was performed under the auspices of the National Blood Data Resource Center (NBDRC), a private subsidiary of AABB (formerly known as the American Association of Blood Banks), with private funding. In 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011 the survey was funded by DHHS (OASH) and performed under contract by AABB. In 2013 and 2015, the survey was funded by OASH and performed by CDC.
