STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
Small Business Impact Review - Report
of Findings
Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the
State Board of Health conducted a small business impact review of 12VAC5-20,
Regulations for the Conduct of Human Research, and determined that this
regulation should be retained in its current form. The State Board of Health is
publishing its report of findings dated March 16, 2018, to support this
decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.
There is a continued need for the regulations as the conduct of
human research is still occurring in the Commonwealth. One public comment was
received. The commenter recommended that the regulations be retained in current
form. The regulations are clearly written and easily understandable. The
regulations do not overlap, duplicate, or conflict with any known federal or
state law or regulation. Regulations are evaluated on an ongoing basis, and
these regulations were last amended in January 2016. Retaining the regulations
in their current form does not appear to cause an adverse economic impact on
small businesses in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

development of an IP for approved TMDLs. The IP should provide measurable goals
and the date of expected achievement of water quality objectives. The IP should

benefits, and environmental impacts. The draft TMDL implementation plan and
meeting documents are available at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLImplementation/TMDLImplementationProgress.aspx.
A public meeting will be held to discuss the draft

water quality in the watersheds will be discussed, and citizens will learn how
they can be part of the water quality improvement process.
The public meeting will be held from 6 p.m. until
