Emmeline Ochiai, Designated Federal 

Official, Secretary’s Advisory 

Committee on National Health 

Promotion and Disease Prevention 

Objectives for 2030, U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services, Office of 

the Assistant Secretary for Health, 

Office of Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion, 1101 Wootton Parkway, 

Room LL–100, Rockville, MD 20852, 

(240) 453–8255 (telephone), (240) 453–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Committee is a discretionary federal 

advisory committee. Under 42 U.S.C. 

300u, the Secretary of Health and 

Human Services (the Secretary) has 

authority to undertake and support 

necessary activities and programs to (a) 

incorporate appropriate health 

education components into our society, 

especially into all aspects of education 

and health; (b) increase the application 

and use of health knowledge, skills, and 

practices by the general population in 

its patterns of daily living; and (c) 

establish systematic processes for the 

exploration, development, 

demonstration, and evaluation of 

innovative health promotion concepts. 

Under Title XVII, Section 1701 of the 

Public Health Service Act, the Secretary 

is given authority to formulate national 

goals and a strategy to achieve such 

goals, with respect to health information 

and health promotion, preventive health 

services, and education in the 

appropriate use of health care. In 1979, 

the Department of Health and Human 

Services (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. It includes measurable 

objectives with targets to be reached by 

the end of each decade. The Committee 

is governed by provisions of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public 

Law 92–463, as amended (5 U.S.C., 

App.), which sets forth standards for the 

formation and use of federal advisory 

committees. The Committee advises and 

makes recommendations to the 

Secretary on matters regarding the 

development and implementation of 

Healthy People 2030, the nation’s 

disease prevention and health 

promotion objectives for 2030. 

To carry out is charge, the Committee 

will provide advice about the Healthy 

People 2030, the Leading Health 

Indicators, implementation, and actions 

for achieving Healthy People 2030 goals 

and objectives. The Committee’s advice 

must assist the Secretary in reducing the 

number of objectives while ensuring 

that Healthy People 2030 identifies the 

most critical public health issues that 

are high-impact priorities supported by 

current, national data sets. The 

Committee will take into account new 

scientific evidence, resource documents, 

the needs of Healthy People 

stakeholders, and the value of assessing 

progress over the course of the decade. 

Furthermore, the Committee will advise 

the Secretary on strategies the 

department can use to maximize 

stakeholder use of Healthy People 2030 

and ensure implementation of Healthy 

People 2030. 

On May 21, 2018, the Secretary 

approved renewal of the Committee’s 

charter. The new charter was effected 

and filed with the appropriate 

Congressional committees and the 

Library of Congress on June 1, 2018. 

Renewal of the Committee’s charter 

gives authorization for the Committee to 

continue to operate until June 1, 2020. 

A copy of the Committee’s charter is 

available on the Committee’s website at 

https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/ 

About-Healthy-People/DevelopmentHealthy-People-2030/AdvisoryCommittee. A copy of the charter also 

can be obtained by accessing the FACA

Administration. The website address for
