Sec. 2a.8  Termination.

    (a) A Confidentiality Certificate is in effect from the date of its 
issuance until the effective date of its termination. The effective date 
of termination shall be the earlier of:
    (1) The expiration date set forth in the Confidentiality 
Certificate; or
    (2) Ten days from the date of mailing a Notice of Cancellation to 
the applicant, pursuant to a determination by the Secretary that the 
research project has been completed or discontinued or that retention of 
the Confidentiality Certificate is otherwise no longer necessary or 
desirable.
    (b) A Notice of Cancellation shall include: an identification of the 
Confidentiality Certificate to which it applies; the effective date of 
its termination; and the grounds for cancellation. Upon receipt of a 
Notice of Cancellation the applicant shall return the Confidentiality 
Certificate to the Secretary.
    (c) Any termination of a Confidentiality Certificate pursuant to 
this section is operative only with respect to the names and other 
identifying characteristics of individuals who begin their participation 
as research subjects after the effective date of such termination. (See 
Sec. 2a.4(k) requiring researchers to notify subjects who enter the 
project after the termination of the Confidentiality Certificate of 
termination of the Certificate). The protection afforded by a 
Confidentiality Certificate is permanent with respect to subjects who 
participated in research during any time the authorization was in 
effect.
