proposed rule entitled ``Institutional Review Boards; Cooperative

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of September 28, 
2022, FDA published two proposed rules with a 60-day comment period to 
request comments on proposed changes to its regulations regarding 
obtaining and documenting informed consent from research participants, 
and institutional review board membership and functions, including 
continuing review, as well as a change to its regulations that would 
require any institution located in the United States participating in 
FDA-regulated cooperative research to rely on approval by a single IRB 
for that portion of the research that is conducted in the United 
States, with some exceptions. Comments on the proposed rules will 
inform FDA's rulemaking to establish regulations for Protection of 
Human Subjects and Institutional Review Boards.
    The Agency has received requests for a 60-day extension of the 
comment period for both proposed rules. The requests conveyed concern 
that the current 60-day comment period does not allow sufficient time 
to develop a meaningful or thoughtful response to the proposed rules.
    FDA has considered the requests and is extending the comment 
periods for the proposed rules for 30 days. The Agency believes that a 
30-day extension allows adequate time for interested persons to submit 
comments without significantly delaying rulemaking on these important 
issues.
