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
PO 00000
Frm 00052

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.

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

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.
