3148 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 15 / Wednesday, January 24, 2007 / Notices 

Federal program using the poverty 

guidelines serves any of those 

jurisdictions, the Federal office that 

administers the program is generally 

responsible for deciding whether to use 

the contiguous-states-and-DC guidelines 

for those jurisdictions or to follow some 

other procedure. 

Due to confusing legislative language 

dating back to 1972, the poverty 

guidelines have sometimes been 

mistakenly referred to as the ‘‘OMB’’

(Office of Management and Budget) 

poverty guidelines or poverty line. In 

fact, OMB has never issued the 

guidelines; the guidelines are issued 

each year by the Department of Health 

and Human Services. The poverty 

guidelines may be formally referenced 

as ‘‘the poverty guidelines updated 

periodically in the Federal Register by 

the U.S. Department of Health and 

Human Services under the authority of 

42 U.S.C. 9902(2).’’

Some programs use a percentage 

multiple of the guidelines (for example, 

125 percent or 185 percent of the 

guidelines), as noted in relevant 

authorizing legislation or program 

regulations. Non-Federal organizations 

that use the poverty guidelines under 

their own authority in non-federallyfunded activities can choose to use a 

percentage multiple of the guidelines 

such as 125 percent or 185 percent. 

The poverty guidelines do not make a 

distinction between farm and non-farm 

families, or between aged and non-aged 

units. (Only the Census Bureau poverty 

thresholds have separate figures for aged 

and non-aged one-person and twoperson units.) 

Note that this notice does not provide 

definitions of such terms as ‘‘income’’ or 

‘‘family.’’ This is because there is 

considerable variation in how different 

programs that use the guidelines define 

these terms, traceable to the different 

laws and regulations that govern the 

various programs. Therefore, questions 

about how a particular program applies 

the poverty guidelines (e.g., Is income 

before or after taxes? Should a particular 

type of income be counted? Should a 

particular person be counted in the 

family or household unit?) should be 

directed to the organization that 

administers the program.

Comment Request 

Title: Annual Maintenance-of-Effort 

(MOE) Report. 

OMB No. 0970–0248. 

Description: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) is 

requesting a three-year extension of the 

ACF–204 (Annual MOE Report). The 

report is used to collect descriptive 

program characteristics information on 

the programs operated by States and 

Territories in association with their 

Temporary Assistance for Needy 

Families (TANF) programs. All State 

and Territory expenditures claimed 

toward States’ and Territories’ MOE 

requirements must be appropriate, i.e., 

meet all applicable MOE requirements. 

The Annual MOE Report provides the 

ability to learn about and to monitor the 

nature of State and Territory 

expenditures used to meet State’s and 

Territories’ MOE requirements, and it is 

an important source of information 

about the different ways that States and 

Territories are using their resources to 

help families attain and maintain selfsufficiency. 

In addition, the report is used to 

obtain State and Territory program 

characteristics for ACF’s annual report 

to Congress, and the report serves as a 

useful resource to use in Congressional 

hearings about how TANF programs are 

evolving, in assessing State the Territory 

MOE expenditures, and in assessing the 

need for legislative changes. 

Respondents: The 50 States of the 

United States, the District of Columbia, 

Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin 

Islands.

[Docket No. 2007D–0017] 

Guidance for Industry: Certain Human 

Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and 

Tissue-Based Products Recovered 

From Donors Who Were Tested for 

Communicable Diseases Using Pooled 

Specimens or Diagnostic Tests; 

Availability 

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, 

HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) is announcing the 

availability of a document entitled 

‘‘Guidance for Industry: Certain Human 

Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and TissueBased Products (HCT/Ps) Recovered 

From Donors Who Were Tested for 

Communicable Diseases Using Pooled 

Specimens or Diagnostic Tests’’ dated 

January 2007. The guidance document 

provides establishments that make HCT/ 

P donor eligibility determinations with 

recommendations concerning the donor 

eligibility requirements contained in 21 

CFR part 1271, subpart C, which became 

effective on May 25, 2005. The guidance 

applies only to certain HCT/Ps that were 

not regulated as HCT/Ps before May 25, 

2005, and that were recovered from 

donors beginning on or after the May 25, 

2005, and within 30 days of the date of 

publication of this document in the 

Federal Register. This guidance has an 

immediate implementation date because 

FDA has determined that prior public 

participation is not feasible or 

appropriate. In certain cases, donor 

retesting needs to be initiated quickly, 

and the availability of certain HCT/Ps 

may be critical to their intended 

recipients. 

DATES: Submit written or electronic 

comments on agency guidances at any 

time. 

ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for 

single copies of the guidance to the 

Office of Communication, Training, and 

Manufacturers Assistance (HFM–40),

the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section 

for electronic access to the guidance 

document.

guidance to the Division of Dockets 

Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug
