<body>
<p>This proposed rule would amend several sections of FDA&rsquo;s regulations for the Protection of Human Subjects and Institutional Review Boards to harmonize with the recently revised final HHS Common Rule (45 CFR 46, subpart A).&nbsp; This rule would add definitions, conform wording, and other changes to FDA regulations to harmonize with the Common Rule. The rule also makes minor technical amendments unrelated to the harmonization efforts.</p>
