SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 26, 2016, the Secretary approved
for the Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee and the
Secretary's Advisory Committee on National Health Promotion and Disease
Prevention Objectives to be re-established. Both committees have been
re-established to accomplish single, time-limited tasks.
The Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee was first
established in February 2007 to assist the Department in development of
the first edition of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans
(PAG). The Department plans to develop a second edition of the PAG, and
it was recommended that the same process be used to develop this
document. The new committee will examine the current edition of the
PAG, take into consideration new scientific evidence and current
resource documents, and then develop a scientific advisory report that
will be submitted to the Secretary. The title for the new committee is
the 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee (2018 PAGAC;
the Committee).
Objectives and Scope of Activities. The 2018 PAGAC will provide
independent advice and recommendations based on current scientific
evidence for use by the federal government in the development of the
second edition of the PAG. The PAG provides a foundation for federal
recommendations and education for physical activity programs for
Americans, including those at risk for chronic disease.
Description of Duties. The work of the 2018 PAGAC is solely
advisory in nature. The Committee will be established for the single,
time-limited task of reviewing the current edition of the PAG and
conducting an evidence-based systematic literature review of physical
activity and health for use in developing physical activity
recommendations to promote health and reduce chronic disease risk.
Membership and Designation. The 2018 PAGAC will be composed of 11
to 17 members. One or more members will be selected to serve as the
Chair, Vice Chair, and/or Co-Chairs. The Committee will consist of
respected published experts in designated fields and specific specialty
areas. Individuals appointed to serve on the Committee will have
demonstrated expert knowledge of current science in the field of human
physical activity and health promotion or the prevention of chronic
disease. Members will be appointed to the Committee by the Secretary of
HHS and invited to serve for the duration of the Committee. All
appointed members of the Committee will be classified as special
government employees (SGEs).
Administrative Management and Support. The 2018 PAGAC will provide
advice to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the
Assistant Secretary for Health (ASH). The Committee will provide a
report to the Secretary, outlining their recommendations and rationale
for the second edition of the PAG.
Management and support services for the Committee will be provided
within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) by the
Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP). The ODPHP is
a program staff office within OASH; OASH is a staff division in the HHS
Office of the Secretary.
ODPHP will collaborate with the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the OASH
program staff office for the President's Council on Fitness, Sports,
and Nutrition (PCFSN). The ASH will appoint seven Co-Executive
Secretaries to support the Committee, two each from the ODPHP, CDC, and
NIH, and one from the OASH staff office for the PCFSN. The two ODPHP
Co-Executive Secretaries will be appointed to serve as the DFO and
Alternate DFO for the Committee.
The Department established the Healthy People initiative in 1979.
The initiative was established to develop a framework for improving the
health of all people in the United States. Healthy People provides
evidence-based, ten-

year national objectives for improving the health of all Americans.
Every 10 years, the Department issues a comprehensive set of national
public health objectives. To assist with this task for the development
of Healthy People 2020, the Department utilized a scientific advisory
committee, the Secretary's Advisory Committee on National Health
Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives for 2020. It was
recommended that the same process be used to assist with development of
Healthy People 2030 because the Department must create a more focused
set of ten-year national disease prevention and health promotion
objectives that reflect the Nation's needs and carries stakeholder
support. The title for the new committee is the Secretary's Advisory
Committee on National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
Objectives for 2030 (the Committee).
Objectives and Scope of Activities. In 1979, HHS established the
Healthy People initiative to develop a framework for improving the
health of all people in the United States. Healthy People provides
evidence-based, ten-year national objectives for improving the health
of all Americans. Healthy People offers a strategic agenda to align
health promotion and disease prevention activities in communities
around the country. The Healthy People initiative is grounded in the
principle that setting national objective and monitoring progress can
motivate action.
The Committee will provide independent advice based on current
scientific evidence for use by the Secretary of HHS or a designated
representative in the development of Healthy People 2030. The Committee
will advise the Secretary on the Department's approach for Healthy
People 2030. Framed around health determinants and risk factors, this
approach will generate a focused set of objective that address high-
impact public health challenges.
Description of Duties. The work of the Committee is solely advisory
in nature. The Committee will perform the single, time-limited task of
providing advice regarding creating Healthy People 2030. The
Committee's duties include providing advice about the Healthy People
2030 mission statement, vision statement, framework, and organizational
structure.
Membership and Designation. The Committee will consist of no more
than 13 members. One or more members will be selected to serve as the
Chair, Vice Chair, and/or Co-Chairs. The Committee membership may
include former Assistant Secretaries for Health and nationally known
experts in areas such as biostatistics, business, epidemiology, health
communications, health economics, health information technology, health
policy, health sciences, health systems, international health, outcomes
research, public health law, social determinants of health, special
populations, and state and local health public health and from a
variety of public, private, philanthropic, and academic settings.
Members will be appointed to the Committee by the Secretary of HHS
or a designated representative and invited to serve for the duration of
the Committee. All appointed members of the Committee will be
classified as special government employees (SGEs).
Administrative Management and Support. The Committee will provide
advice to the Secretary of HHS, through the Assistant Secretary for
Health (ASH). The ASH will provide oversight for the Committee's
function and activities. Management and support services for the
Committee will be provided by the Office of Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (ODPHP). ODPHP is a program office within the Office
of the Assistant Secretary for Health, which is a staff division in the
HHS Office of the Secretary.
To comply with the provisions of FACA, the charters for the 2018
Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee and the Secretary's
Advisory Committee on National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
Objectives for 2030 will be filed with the appropriate Congressional
committees and the Library of Congress fifteen calendar days after
notice of this action being taken has been published in the Federal
Register. After the charters have been filed, copies of these documents
