    The Office of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services is seeking public comments on a proposed information collection process, as stated in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The process involves a 3-year extension without changes to the current method in which Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) submit records for a consultation process specifically for research involving vulnerable groups like pregnant women, prisoners, and children. Public comments are invited regarding the necessity, accuracy, and ways to reduce the burden of this information collection by March 7, 2025. Interested parties can submit comments or inquire for more details via email or phone, referencing document identifier 0990-0481-60D.

    Simple Explanation

    The Health Department wants to know what people think about a plan where special groups of helpers, called IRBs, send important papers to make sure research is safe for people who need extra care, like kids and moms-to-be. They're asking for people's ideas on this by March 7, 2025, to make the process better.

    The U.S. Customs and Border Protection, part of the Department of Homeland Security, has announced the implementation of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Economic Vitality & Security Travel Authorization Program (EVS-TAP). This program is a specific part of the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program that allows certain pre-approved travelers from China to visit the CNMI without a visa for up to 14 days. The implementation of this program will start on February 20, 2024, and travelers will need to get an electronic travel authorization before going. The previous policy allowing Chinese nationals to enter the CNMI with parole will end on the same date.

    Simple Explanation

    In this notice, the U.S. government is starting a new rule on February 20, 2024, where some people from China who have been pre-approved can visit a place called the Northern Mariana Islands for up to 14 days without needing a visa, but they have to get a special permission first. This new rule is part of a bigger program and replaces an older way that allowed them to come with a different kind of permission.
