Human Subjects Research Protections: Enhancing Protections for Research Subjects and Reducing Burden, Delay, and Ambiguity for Investigators
The Office of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in coordination with the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) is issuing this advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to request comment on how current regulations for protecting human subjects who participate in research might be modernized and revised to be more effective. This ANPRM seeks comment on how to better protect human subjects who are involved in research, while facilitating valuable research and reducing burden, delay, and ambiguity for investigators. The current regulations governing human subjects research were developed years ago when research was predominantly conducted at universities, colleges, and medical institutions, and each study generally took place at only a single site. Although the regulations have been amended over the years, they have not kept pace with the evolving human research enterprise, the proliferation of multi-site clinical trials and observational studies, the expansion of health services research, research in the social and behavioral sciences, and research involving databases, the Internet, and biological specimen repositories, and the use of advanced technologies, such as genomics. Revisions to the current human subjects regulations are being considered because OSTP and HHS believe these changes would strengthen protections for research subjects.
United States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement Notice of Determination Regarding Review of Submission #2010-03
The Office of Trade and Labor Affairs (OTLA) gives notice that on July 19, 2011, Submission 2010-03 was accepted for review pursuant to Article 17.2 of Chapter 17 (the Labor Chapter) of the United States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (PTPA). The submission was filed with OTLA on December 29, 2010, by a Peruvian union, the Sindicato Nacional de Unidad de Trabajadores de Superintendencia Nacional de Administraci[oacute]n Tributaria (SINAUT- SUNAT). The submission alleges the Government of Peru has violated Article 17.2 of the Labor Chapter of the PTPA by failing to adopt and maintain in its statutes and regulations, and practices thereunder, the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining as stated in the International Labour Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and its Follow-Up. SINAUT-SUNAT alleges that the employer, Superintendencia Nacional de Administraci[oacute]n Tributaria (SUNAT) has refused to negotiate in good faith and engage constructively at various stages of the collective bargaining process, as required by Peruvian law. These allegations are supported by facts which, if substantiated, could demonstrate that the Government of Peru's actions were inconsistent with its commitments under the Labor Chapter. The objective of the review of the submission will be to gather information so that OTLA can better understand the allegations therein and publicly report on the U.S. Government's views regarding whether the Government of Peru's actions were consistent with its obligations under the Labor Chapter of the PTPA.
