A. The HRRC may use the expedited review procedure for categories of research that are listed in 63 FR 60364-60367 where either or both of the following apply:
1. Some or all of the research appearing on the list and found by the reviewer(s) to involve no more than minimal risk.
2. Minor changes in previously approved research during the period (of one year or less) for which approval is authorized.
