The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for 
the proper performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of

clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology to minimize the information collection burden.
    Title of the Collection: HHS Subpart C Certification Form.
    Type of Collection: Revision.
    Abstract: The Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) is 
requesting a three-year extension 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.
    Type of Respondent: 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.
