Abstract
In this final rule, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is amending its regulations that govern the protection of human subjects for conformity with 2018 revisions made to the Federal policy for protection of human research subjects (the "Common Rule"), as well as to maintain consistency with the prior version of the Common Rule for research that remains subject to those requirements. Amendments include updating citations that were renumbered, adding updated descriptions of the applicability of exemptions, and correcting a technical error. No substantive amendments are included in this final rule.
