    Abstract: The Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) is 
requesting a three-year approval on a 0revision of OMB No. 0990-0473, 
the HHS Subpart C Certification Form. The purpose of this form is to 
provide a simplified, standardized procedure for institutions to submit 
subpart C research certifications to OHRP in order to obtain 
authorization to include prisoners in HHS-conducted or supported human 
subjects research. The form also simplifies the internal process used 
by OHRP to review and record such certifications, resulting in faster 
processing while reducing unnecessary and burdensome staff time.
    Likely Respondents: Institutions or Organizations operating 
Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that have enrolled or are planning 
to enroll prisoners in human subjects research conducted or supported 
by HHS.
