SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

[[Page 41978]]

    Purpose: The inaugural Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans 
(PAG), issued in 2008, represents the first comprehensive guidelines on 
physical activity issued by the federal government. The PAG provides 
science-based advice on how physical activity can help promote health 
and reduce the risk of chronic disease. The PAG serves as the benchmark 
and primary, authoritative voice of the federal government for 
providing science-based guidance on physical activity, fitness, and 
health in the United States. Five years after the first edition of the 
PAG was released, ODPHP, in collaboration with the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), 
and the President's Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition (PCFSN) 
led development of the PAG Midcourse Report: Strategies to Increase 
Physical Activity Among Youth. The second edition of the PAG will build 
upon the first edition and provide a foundation for federal 
recommendations and education for physical activity programs for 
Americans, including those at risk for chronic disease.
    The Secretary of HHS approved establishment of the 2018 PAGAC as a 
discretionary federal advisory committee. The Committee will provide 
the Department with independent, science-based advice and 
recommendations. The 2018 PAGAC consists of a panel of experts who are 
selected from the private sector. Individuals who are selected to serve 
on the 2018 PAGAC must have current scientific knowledge in the field 
of human physical activity and health promotion or the prevention of 
chronic disease.
    Appointed Committee Members: As stipulated in the charter, the 2018 
PAGAC will be composed of 11-17 members. Members of the Committee are 
appointed by the Secretary. Information on Committee membership is 
available at www.health.gov/paguidelines.
    Committee's Task: The work of the 2018 PAGAC will be time-limited 
and solely advisory in nature. The Committee will develop 
recommendations based on the preponderance of current scientific and 
medical knowledge using a systematic review approach. The 2018 PAGAC 
will examine the current PAG, take into consideration new scientific 
evidence and current resource documents, and develop a report to the 
Secretary of HHS that outlines its science-based advice and 
recommendations for development of the PAG, second edition. The 
Committee will hold approximately five public meetings to review and 
discuss recommendations. Meeting dates, times, locations, and other 
relevant information will be announced at least 15 days in advance of 
each meeting via Federal Register notice. As stipulated in the charter, 
the Committee will be terminated after delivery of its final report to 
the Secretary of HHS or two years from the date the charter was filed, 
whichever comes first.
    Purpose of the Meeting: In accordance with FACA and to promote 
transparency of the process, deliberations of the 2018 PAGAC will occur 
in a public forum. At this meeting, the 2018 PAGAC will be oriented to 
the PAG revision process and begin its deliberations.
    Meeting Agenda: The meeting agenda will include (a) review of 
operations for the Committee members, (b) a presentation on the history 
of the PAG and how they are used, (c) presentation on the literature 
review process, and (d) plans for future Committee work.
    Meeting Registration: The meeting is open to the public. The 
meeting will be accessible by webcast or by attendance in-person. Pre-
registration is required for both web viewing and in-person attendance.
