embryos, and fetuses; individuals and populations in international 
studies; populations in which there are individually identifiable 
samples, data, or information; and investigator conflicts of interest.
    Since SACHRP was established, renewal of the Committee charter has 
been carried out at the appropriate intervals as stipulated by FACA. 
The previous Committee charter was scheduled to expire on October 1, 
2010. On October 1, 2010, the Secretary of
