BILLING CODE 4165–15–P 

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Request for Comments on Scientific 

Questions To Be Examined To Support 

the Development of the Dietary 

Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030 

AGENCY: Department of Health and 

Human Services (HHS), Office of the 

Secretary, Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Health, Office of Disease 

Prevention and Health Promotion; 

Department of Agriculture (USDA), 

Food, Nutrition, and Consumer 

Services. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Departments of Health 

and Human Services and Agriculture 

solicit written comments on the 

scientific questions to be examined in 

the review of evidence supporting the 

development of the Dietary Guidelines 

for Americans, 2025–2030. 

DATES: The scientific questions are 

available for review and public 

comment. Electronic or written/paper 

comments will be accepted through 

midnight Eastern Time on May 16, 

2022. 

ADDRESSES: The scientific questions are 

available on the internet at 

www.DietaryGuidelines.gov. Comments 

and attachments submitted 

electronically or by paper will be posted 

to the www.regulations.gov docket. You 

may submit comments as follows: 

• Electronic submissions: Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments at 

www.regulations.gov. 

• Written/paper submissions: Mail/ 

courier to Janet M. de Jesus, MS, RD, 

Office of Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (ODPHP) Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), 

HHS; 1101 Wootton Parkway, Suite 420; 

Rockville, MD 20852. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

301 of the National Nutrition 

Monitoring and Related Research Act of 

1990 (7 U.S.C. 5341) requires the 

Secretaries of HHS and USDA to 

publish the Dietary Guidelines for 

Americans (Dietary Guidelines) jointly 

at least every five years. The most recent 

edition of the Dietary Guidelines (2020– 

2025) provided guidance on the entire 

life span, from birth to older adulthood, 

including pregnancy and lactation. The 

Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025– 

2030 will continue to address what to 

eat and drink across the entire lifespan 

to meet nutrient needs, promote health, 

and reduce the risk of chronic disease. 

The Departments are identifying 

scientific questions to be considered in 

the review of evidence to support the 

development of the Dietary Guidelines 

for Americans, 2025–2030. Given the 

prevalence of chronic diseases in the 

United States, scientific questions will 

continue to examine the relationship 

between diet and health outcomes, and 

a special emphasis will be placed on 

questions that address food-based 

strategies that can be used to help 

individuals implement the Dietary 

Guidelines and prevent or manage 

overweight and obesity. In establishing 

this list of scientific questions, the 

Departments are considering the 

following criteria for prioritization: 

relevance to the Dietary Guidelines, 

importance to public health, potential 

impact to federal programs, avoiding 

duplication with other federal efforts, 

and research availability. The list of 

questions, more information on the 

criteria for prioritization, and 

background on the process for 

developing the questions is available at 

www.dietaryguidelines.gov. 

• Electronic or Written Public 

Comments: Comments will be accepted 

through 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time May 

16, 2022 at www.regulations.gov. 

Comments received by mail/courier will 

be considered if they are postmarked on 

or before May 16, 2022. Written 

comments via mail/courier will be 

uploaded into www.regulations.gov and 

are under the same limitations as for 

those submitted electronically to 

www.regulations.gov: 5,000 (with 

spaces) character limit for text box, and 

a maximum number of ten attached files 

and maximum size (10 MB) of each 

attached file. Please make note of 

copyright issues on your attachments. A 

link to the www.regulations.gov 

electronic filing system will also be 

available at www.DietaryGuidelines.gov. 

HHS and USDA request comments on 

the list of scientific questions to be 

examined in the review of evidence 

supporting the development of the 

Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025– 

2030. Specifically, HHS and USDA 

request comments in support of or 

opposition to the proposed scientific 

questions. If a new scientific question is 

suggested, provide a brief summary of 

the topic, including information 

pertaining to the prioritization criteria 

listed above. It is requested that 

comments be limited to one page per 

topic. HHS and USDA will consider all 

relevant comments in finalizing the list 

of topics and questions to be examined 

in the development of the Dietary 

Guidelines, 2025–2030.
