apply regarding the protection of human subjects involved in research. 
The HHS codification of the Common Rule is at 45 CFR part 46 subpart A. 
The respondents for this collection are institutions engaged in such 
research. Institutional adherence to the Common Rule also is required 
by other federal departments and agencies that have codified or follow 
the Common Rule which is identical to 45 CFR part 46, subpart A.
    Likely Respondents: Institutions engaged in nonexempt human 
subjects research.
