Family and Youth Services Bureau is 

headed by an Associate Commissioner 

who recommends policy direction and 

programs to address issues involving 

youth, family, abstinence education, 

mentoring children of prisoners, and 

domestic violence issues to the 

Commissioner, ACYF. The Associate 

Commissioner has a Deputy Associate 

Commissioner who acts as his alter ego 

and is responsible for the day-to-day 

direction of three divisions. The Office 

of the Associate Commissioner also has 

a Research, Data and Evaluation Team 

and a Regional Operations Team. The 

Bureau assesses policies, legislation and 

programs that affect runaway and 

homeless youth, families, mentoring 

children of prisoners, domestic violence 

and abstinence education. It 

recommends budgetary and legislative 

proposals and subject areas for research 

and demonstration activities; 

coordinates efforts with and provides 

expert advice to departmental and other 

federal agencies on youth issues and 

programs including runaway and 

homeless youth and youth at risk of 

involvement with gangs, violence and 

drugs and other youth in at-risk 

situations; and develops program 

initiatives to address abstinence 

education and the needs of runaway and 

homeless youth, families, children of 

prisoners and domestic violence victims 

and their dependents. The Bureau 

represents HHS on various councils, 

workgroups and committees and 

provides leadership and coordination to 

other HHS programs and agencies. The 

Bureau has the following divisions: 1. The Division of Youth Services 

promotes a youth development 

approach to program services so that 

Bureau programs and activities are 

planned and designed with an emphasis 

on meeting the developmental needs of 

young people and their families, 

including runaway and homeless youth, 

youth at risk of involvement with gangs, 

violence and drugs and other youth in 

at-risk situations. The Division’s 

administration of the runaway and 

homeless youth program—which 

incorporates the basic center, street 

outreach and transitional living 

programs—includes development and 

implementation of policy, guidelines 

and regulations concerning the funding 

and management of service projects for 

youth under the Runaway and Homeless 

Youth Act. Administration of the 

program for mentoring children of 

prisoners authorized under section 439 

of the Social Security Act also includes 

development of policy, guidelines and 

regulations regarding the funding and 

management of grant projects and other 

activities. 

The Division oversees the receipt and 

review of applications for grants that 

ultimately provide services to youth and 

families and monitors the management 

of these grants in the ACF Regional 

Offices. In addition, the Division 

designs, develops, funds and monitors 

support activities related to these 

programs, including, but not limited to, 

the provision of technical assistance, a 

monitoring system, a data collection 

system, a family and youth 

clearinghouse and a national 

communications system/hotline. The Division determines the 

conceptual and policy framework to 

address issues facing families and 

adolescents. It identities problems, 

defines critical issues for investigation 

and makes recommendations regarding 

subject areas for research, 

demonstration and evaluation activities. 

Based on the outcomes of these 

activities, the Division disseminates 

information through conferences, 

forums and written materials; provides 

assistance to service providers and state 

and local governments in planning, 

developing, implementing and 

evaluating programs affecting family 

and youth; and recommends plans and 

programs to increase public awareness 

and understanding about activities 

affecting vulnerable families and youth. 

2. The Division of Family Violence 

Prevention promotes public awareness 

about domestic violence and its impact. 

The Division’s programs support the 

prevention of family violence; provide 

immediate shelter and related assistance 

to victims of family violence and their 

dependents; provide for research into 

the most effective prevention, 

identification and treatment of family 

violence; and provide training and 

technical assistance to family violence 

personnel in states, tribes, local public 

agencies (including law enforcement 

agencies, courts, social service agencies 

and health care professionals) and nonprofit organizations. The Division is 

responsible for developing, updating 

and implementing program regulations 

and policies. The Division oversees the 

receipt and review of applications for 

grants and certain grantee activities. It 

also provides guidance, review, support 

and assistance to states and grantees on 

HHS policies, regulations, procedures 

and systems necessary to ensure 

efficient program operation at the state, 

territorial and tribal levels. In addition, 

the Division coordinates all programs 

within the Department of Health and 

Human Services, and seeks to 

coordinate all other Federal programs, 

which involve the prevention of 

incidents of family violence and the 

provision of assistance for victims and 

potential victims of family violence and 

their dependents. 

3. The Division of Abstinence 

Programs manages the Abstinence 

Education State Grant Program, which 

provides formula grants to states and 

other jurisdictions for the purpose of 

providing abstinence education as 

defined by Section 510 of the Social 

Security Act. The Division also manages 

the Community-Based Abstinence 

Education Grant Program, which makes 

competitive grants to public and private 

entities to plan and implement 

strategies for providing abstinence 

education to adolescents. The Division 

develops the conceptual framework to 

address abstinence education issues, 

monitors and assesses the programs and 

ensures the provision of technical 

assistance.

Food and Drug Administration 

[Docket No. 2007D–0135] 

Guidance for Industry on Testing of 

Glycerin for Diethylene Glycol; 

Availability 

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, 

HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) is announcing the 

availability of a guidance for industry 

entitled ‘‘Testing of Glycerin for 

Diethylene Glycol.’’ This guidance 

provides recommendations on testing 

that will help pharmaceutical 

manufacturers, repackers, and other 

suppliers of glycerin, and pharmacists 

who engage in drug compounding, 

avoid the use of glycerin that is 

contaminated with diethylene glycol 

(DEG) and prevent incidents of DEG 

poisoning. 

DATES: Submit written or electronic 

comments on the guidance by July 31, 

2007. General comments on agency 

guidance documents are welcome at any 

time. 

ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for 

single copies of the guidance to the 

Division of Drug Information (HFD– 

240), Center for Drug Evaluation and 

Research, Food and Drug 

Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, 

Rockville, MD 20857. Send one selfaddressed adhesive label to assist that

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

FDA is announcing the availability of 

a guidance for industry entitled 

‘‘Testing of Glycerin for Diethylene 

Glycol.’’ This guidance explains that the 

agency recommends that certain 

analytical testing procedures be 

performed on glycerin to avoid the use 

of DEG-contaminated product. 

Specifically, the agency is 

recommending that all lots of glycerin 

received by a pharmaceutical 

manufacturing facility undergo identity 

testing that includes a test for DEG 

content. DEG contamination of glycerin 

can be detected by using specific 

analytical test procedures described in 

the United States Pharmacopeia 

monograph for glycerin, which 

quantifies the amount of DEG present at 

a detection level of 0.1 percent, as 

recommended by the interagency 

Diethylene Glycol Contamination 

Prevention Workshop of 1997. 

Repackers, pharmacy compounders, and 

others who distribute and prepare 

glycerin for use in drug products should 

test glycerin that is used, sold for use, 

or intended for use in drug products. 

This recommendation also applies to 

bulk or repackaged glycerin intended as 

an excipient or other component for a 

drug. In addition, pharmacies that 

purchase glycerin for use in 

compounding drug products should 

either test the glycerin or ensure that 

such testing was properly done by a 

reliable supplier.
