Title: Determination That Informed Consent Is Infeasible or Is Contrary to the Best Interest of Recipients 
Abstract: The final rule would establish criteria and standards for the President to apply in making a determination that informed consent is not feasible or is contrary to the best interest of military personnel engaged in specific military operations. Under Federal law, the President is authorized to waive the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act's informed consent requirements in military operations, if the President finds that obtaining consent is infeasible, contrary to the best interests of recipients, or contrary to national security interests.
