SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For three decades, Healthy People has 
provided a comprehensive set of national 10-year health promotion and 
disease prevention objectives aimed at improving the health of all 
Americans. Healthy People 2020 objectives provide a framework by 
presenting a comprehensive picture of the nation's health at the 
beginning of the decade, establishing national goals and targets to be 
achieved by the year 2020, and monitoring progress over time. The U.S. 
Department of Health and Human Services is soliciting the submission of 
written comments regarding a new objective proposed to be added to 
Healthy People 2020 since the fall 2015 public comment period.
    Healthy People 2020 is the product of an extensive collaborative 
process that relies on input from a diverse array of individuals and 
organizations, both within and outside the federal government, with a 
common interest in improving the nation's health. Public comments were 
a cornerstone of Healthy People 2020's development. During the first 
phase of planning for Healthy People 2020, HHS asked for the public's 
comments on the vision, mission, and implementation of Healthy People 
2020. Those comments helped set the framework for Healthy People 2020. 
The public was also invited to submit comments on proposed Healthy 
People 2020 objectives, which helped shape the final set of Healthy 
People 2020 objectives.
    The public is now invited to comment on a new objective proposed to 
be added to Healthy People 2020, which can be found at http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/about/history-development/Public-Comment. 
This new objective was developed by the HIV topic area workgroup led by 
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Health Resources and 
Services Administration. It has been reviewed by the Federal 
Interagency Workgroup on Healthy People 2020 and is presented now for 
the public's review and comment. Comments are restricted to this 
specific HIV objective. Having reached the midpoint in the decade, 
Healthy People will not be soliciting proposals for additional new 
objectives.
    Written comments will be accepted at http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/about/history-development/Public-Comment. The public will also be 
able

[[Page 69540]]

to submit written comments via mail, fax, and email (see contact 
information above). Comments received in response to this notice will 
be reviewed and considered by the appropriate topic area workgroup, 
Federal Interagency Workgroup on Healthy People 2020, and other Healthy 
People 2020 stakeholders.

    Dated: October 3, 2016.
Don Wright,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health (Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion).
