The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs announced May 26 that it is extending the time for its review of the proposed rule to revise 45 CFR 46 (the Common Rule). The proposed rule would “revise current human subjects regulations in order to strengthen protections for research subjects while facilitating valuable research and reducing burden, delay, and ambiguity for investigators.” A review must be completed before the proposed rule can be released for further public comment.
