Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will be implementing a new system of records, 09-10-0020, "FDA Records Related to Research Misconduct Proceedings, HHS/FDA/OC." HHS/FDA is exempting this system of records from certain requirements of the Privacy Act to protect the integrity of FDA's scientific misconduct inquiries and investigations and to protect the identity of confidential sources in such investigations. HHS/FDA is issuing a direct final rule for this action because the Agency expects that there will be no significant adverse comment on this rule.
