    Notice is hereby given that I have delegated to the Commissioner, 
Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), the following 
Authority:
    1. Authority to carry out the provisions of the Family Violence 
Prevention and Services Act, 42 U.S.C. 10401 et seq., and as amended, 
now and hereafter.
    2. Authority to coordinate all programs involving family violence 
prevention and services within the Department of Health and Human 
Services; to seek to coordinate all other Federal programs involving 
family violence prevention and services; to provide for research; and 
to provide for training and technical assistance.
    3. Authority to approve applications for Family Violence Prevention 
and Services grants authorized under the Family Violence Prevention and 
Services Act, 42 U.S.C. 10401 et seq., and as amended, now and 
hereafter.
    This delegation shall be exercised under financial and 
administrative requirements applicable to all Administration for 
Children and Families authorities. In addition, responsibilities under 
this Act are to be carried out in accordance with the requirements of 
section 307 of the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act, 42 
U.S.C. 10406. (The Secretary has delegated to the Office for Civil 
Rights enforcement Authority under section 307.) Further, this

    I have affirmed and ratified any actions by the Commissioner, 
Administration on Children, Youth and Families or any other ACYF 
official which, in effect, involved the exercise of these authorities 
prior to the effective date of this delegation.
    This delegation supersedes any previous delegation of authority 
pertaining to Family Violence Prevention and Services programs which 
could have been exercised by the Assistant Secretary for Children and 
Families or any designee thereof.
    This delegation was effective on February 17, 2004.

    Dated: May 18, 2004.
