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.
