SUMMARY: The Office of Public Health
and Science, Office of the Secretary,
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is providing public
notice to clarify a requirement
contained in the Federalwide Assurance
(FWA) form for international (non-U.S.)
institutions, approved by the Office for

Human Research Protections (OHRP)
under the HHS protection of human
subjects regulations. HHS clarifies that
the requirements of HHS regulations
must be satisfied for all HHS-conducted
or -supported research covered by an
FWA, regardless of whether the research
is conducted domestically or
internationally. To date, HHS has not
deemed any other procedural standards
equivalent to the protection of human
subjects.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), through the Office for
Human Research Protections (OHRP),
regulates research involving human
subjects conducted or supported by
HHS. The Federal Policy for the
Protection of Human Subjects (the
Common Rule), adopted by 14 other
departments and agencies, is codified
for HHS at 45 CFR part 46, subpart A.
The HHS protection of human
subjects regulations apply to all research
involving human subjects conducted,
supported or otherwise subject to
regulation by HHS. 45 CFR 46.101(a).
Each institution engaged in HHSconducted or -supported human
subjects research must provide written
assurance, satisfactory to the Secretary
of HHS, that it will comply with the
HHS protection of human subjects
regulations. [45 CFR 46.103(a)]
The FWA is the only form of
assurance currently accepted by OHRP.
The FWA was designed to be used by
HHS as well as the other departments
and agencies that have adopted the
Common Rule. The FWA consists of two
documents, the FWA form and the FWA
Terms of Assurance, which are
incorporated by reference into the FWA
form. There are separate FWA forms and
Terms of Assurance for U.S. domestic
institutions and for international (nonU.S.) institutions. The ‘‘Applicability’’
section of the FWA form for
international (non-U.S.) institutions
includes several national and
international procedural standards to
which the institution can indicate its
adherence, including the HHS
regulations for the protection of human
subjects, 45 CFR part 46. The FWA
Terms of Assurance for international
(non-U.S.) institutions state as follows:
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
38645
If a U.S. Federal department or agency head
determines that the procedures prescribed by
the institution afford protections that are at
least equivalent to those provided by the U.S.
Federal Policy for the Protection of Human
Subjects, the department or agency head may
approve the substitution of the foreign
procedures in lieu of the procedural
requirements provided above [the
requirements of the U.S. Federal Policy],
consistent with the requirements of section
101(h) of the U.S. Federal Policy for the
Protection of Human Subjects.
II. Clarification of HHS’ Position
Some regulated institutions may have
been confused by the fact that several
national and international procedural
standards are listed on the FWA form
for international (non-U.S.) institutions,
and interpreted this to mean that nonU.S. institutions have a choice of
whether or not the requirements of 45
CFR part 46 must be met for HHSconducted or -supported research
conducted at their institutions. Such an
interpretation would be erroneous. For
HHS-conducted or -supported research,
all institutions holding an OHRPapproved FWA and engaged in such
research must comply with the
requirements of 45 CFR part 46. That
compliance is required regardless of
whether the institution marked one or
more other procedural standards on the
FWA form for international (non-U.S.)
institutions as a standard to which the
institution committed itself to comply.
For example, if a non-U.S. institution
selects a procedural standard on its
FWA that does not explicitly require
continuing review by an institutional
review board (IRB) at least annually, the
institution still must ensure that an IRB
designated under the FWA conducts
continuing review of non-exempt
human subjects research supported by
HHS at intervals appropriate to the
degree of risk, but no less than once per
year, as required by HHS regulations at
45 CFR 46.109(e). Likewise, if a nonU.S. institution selects a procedural
standard on its FWA that does not
explicitly require that an IRB retain IRB
records for at least three years after the
completion of research which is
conducted, the institution still must
ensure that such IRB records are
retained for at least three years after
completion of any non-exempt human
subjects research supported by HHS, as
required by HHS regulations at 45 CFR
46.115(b).
As stated in the FWA Terms of
Assurance for international (non-U.S.)
institutions, the Secretary has the
authority to determine that alternative
procedural standards provide
protections at least equivalent to those
provided by the HHS protection of
