Compressed Medical Gases-Warning

Withdrawal of Compliance Policy
Guide
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
Liquid and Gaseous Oxygen’’ (CPG
7132a.16). Subsequently, the Agency’s
Manual of Compliance Policy Guides
was reorganized and this material
became Section 435.100. The CPG
provided guidance to FDA district
offices for issuing warning letters to
firms that are engaged in filling
cylinders with gas(es) for medical use
that are not operating in conformance
with the adulteration, misbranding,
and/or new drug provisions of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
On March 15, 2015, FDA
implemented the revised Compliance
Program Guidance Manual (CPGM)
7356.002E, entitled ‘‘Compressed
Medical Gases,’’ available at https://
www.fda.gov/downloads/ICECI/
ComplianceManuals/
ComplianceProgramManual/
UCM125417.pdf. CPGM 7356.002E
instructs FDA staff regarding a range of
subjects, including, but not limited to,
the inspections and investigations,
regulatory and/or administrative action,
and the issuance of warning letters
related to compressed medical gases. As
the CPGM 7356.002E articulates FDA’s
current thinking on issuing warning
letters related to compressed medical
gases, CPG Section 435.100 is
withdrawn.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to 41 CFR 102–3.65 and approval by the
Department of Health and Human
Services pursuant to 45 CFR part 11 and
by the General Services Administration,
FDA is announcing the renewal of the
Nonprescription Drugs Advisory
Committee. The Committee is a
discretionary Federal advisory
committee established to provide advice
to the Commissioner. The Committee
advises the Commissioner or designee
in discharging responsibilities as they
relate to helping to ensure safe and
effective drugs for human use and, as
required, any other product for which
FDA has regulatory responsibility.
The Committee reviews and evaluates
available data concerning the safety and
effectiveness of over-the-counter
(nonprescription) human drug products,
or any other FDA-regulated product, for
use in the treatment of a broad spectrum
of human symptoms and diseases and
advises the Commissioner either on the
promulgation of monographs
establishing conditions under which
these drugs are generally recognized as
safe, effective, not misbranded, and on
the approval of new drug applications.
The Committee serves as a forum for the
exchange of views regarding the
prescription and nonprescription status,
including switches from one status to
another. The Committee may also
conduct peer review of Agency
sponsored intramural and extramural
scientific biomedical programs in
support of FDA’s mission and regulatory
responsibilities.
The Committee shall consist of a core
of 10 voting members including the
Chair. Members and the Chair are
selected by the Commissioner or
designee from among authorities
knowledgeable in the fields of internal
medicine, family practice, clinical
toxicology, clinical pharmacology,
pharmacy, dentistry, and related
specialties. Members will be invited to
serve for overlapping terms of up to 4
years. Almost all non-Federal members
of this committee serve as Special
Government Employees. The core of

HRSA announces its intent to

youth) with special health care needs
(CSHCN) and their families. Strategies
may include: (1) Family-centered care,
(2) cultural and linguistic competence,
and (3) shared decision-making for
families of CSHCN at all levels of
decision-making (individual, peer,
community, etc.). Family/Professional
Partnership program activities are
primarily carried out through federal
leadership strategies, the NCFPP
cooperative agreement and state
implementation grants in the form of
Family-to-Family Health Information
Centers. The purpose of this notice is to
award supplemental funds to coordinate
among leadership trainings for families
partnering on state and national level
system and service improvements by
Family Voices, the cooperative
agreement awardee who serves as the
NCFPP, during the budget period of 6/
1/2015– 5/31/2016.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intended Recipient of the Award:
Family Voices, Inc.
Amount of the Non-Competitive
Award: $118,700.
Period of Supplemental Funding: 6/1/

CFDA Number: 93.110.
Authority: Social Security Act, Title
V, Section 501(a)(1)(D), (42 U.S.C.
701(a)(1)(D)).
Justification
The Institute of Medicine Report
Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New
Health System for the 21st Century
established shared decision-making and
patient/family centered care as key
elements of a quality health care system.
National quality indicators of family/
professional partnership, shareddecision-making, and patient/familycentered care show that children (and
youth) with special health care needs
(CSHCN) benefit from family/patientcentered care by improved transition
from pediatric to adult health care
systems, fewer unmet needs and fewer
problems accessing needed referrals.
Several MCHB programs rely on
families as key partners in the
improvement of overall systems and
services, based on their personal
experiences and their work with other
families. There is a need for
coordination among leadership
trainings, including ongoing mentoring
and technical assistance, for families
partnering on state and national level
system and service improvements.
Meeting these needs would support a
sustainable approach to leadership
development that can be maintained by
both individuals and organizations,
linking together key MCHB investments
by supporting State Title V agencies.

Family-centered care, (2) cultural and

at all levels of decision-making
(individual, peer, community, etc.).
Family/Professional Partnership
program activities are primarily carried
out through federal leadership
strategies, the NCFPP cooperative
agreement and state implementation
grants in the form of Family-to-Family
Health Information Centers. In 2013,
following objective review of its
application, HRSA awarded Family
Voices cooperative agreement funding
for the NCFPP. If approved, this would
be the first project expansion
supplement for this project.
For over two decades Family Voices
has brought the voice of families of
CSHCN to the healthcare arena and
demonstrated the value of family
perspectives in shaping healthcare
systems and services to maximize
outcomes for families and their
children. Its infrastructure is based on a
network of family-led organizations at
the national, state, and local levels
including the Family-to-Family Health
Information Centers and Family Voices
State Affiliate Organizations. It
facilitates the work of a community of
family leaders through peer mentoring,
training, and technical assistance. It
partners with key MCHB programs and
stakeholders including State Title V
agencies.
Results were recently released from a
survey of state Title V organizations’
progress in engaging families and
consumers. From this information,
Family Voices recognized a need for
ongoing development of a continually
renewed pipeline of family leaders from
diverse racial and cultural communities
and from populations served across all
MCHB programs. Thus, they submitted
a proposal requesting to supplement the
NCFPP cooperative agreement with
activities to meet this need.
The proposed project aligns with
NCFPP’s current project plan in its
efforts to increase the capacity of
families, Title V and other providers to
strengthen the primary care workforce
through family/professional partnership
learning opportunities (Goal 2). Family
Voices, working with MCHB, would
coordinate with other MCHB-funded
initiatives to identify needs and develop
a framework for an evidence-based/
informed family leadership training
aimed at supporting family leaders
