Agency seeks comment on proposed information collection for protection of human subjects

The agency announced a proposed collection of information related to the protection of human subjects and Institutional Review Boards and is requesting public comment. The notice also notes that programmatic access to FederalRegister.gov and eCFR.gov is limited to the agency's developer APIs and may require CAPTCHA verification.

Why it matters: The request for comment could shape future data‑privacy and security requirements for institutions handling human‑subjects data and API access.
