Paul:
The collection of counts of births, deaths, marriages and divorces (OMB clearance under 09200213) does not constitute research involving human subjects under 45 CFR 46 and therefore
does not require review by an IRB. (research concerning human subjects) is not applicable to
data collected by the National Vital Statistics System.
