Proposed Project: Institutional Review 

Board/Independent Ethics Committee 

Forms Modification–OMB No. 0990– 

0279—Office for Human Research 

Protections. 

Abstract: The Office for Human 

Research Protections (OHRP) is 

requesting a modification to the current 

Institutional Review Board (IRB) 

Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) 

Registration Form designed to provide a 

simplified procedure for institutions 

engaged in Department of Health and 

Human Services (HHS) conducted or 

supported research to satisfy the 

assurance requirements of Section 

491(a) of the Public Health Service Act 

and HHS regulations for the protection 

of human subjects at 45 CFR 46.103. 

The form is being modified to be 

consistent with IRB-Registration 

requirements that are included in the 

Office for Human Research Protections 

(OHRP) and the Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) final rules on IRB 

registration requirements. Respondents 

for this information collection are 

institutions or organizations operating 

IRBs designated by an institution under 

an assurance of compliance approved 

for federalwide use by OHRP under 45 

CFR 46.103(a) and that review human 

subjects research conducted or 

supported by HHS, or, in the case of 

FDA’s regulation, each IRB in the 

United States that reviews clinical 

investigations regulated by FDA under 

sections 505(i) or 520(g) of the Federal 

Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act; and each 

IRB in the United States that reviews 

clinical investigations that are intended 

to support applications for research or 

marketing permits for FDA-regulated 

products.
