BILLING CODE 4150–32–P 

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Solicitation for Written Comments on 

the Development of Healthy People 

2020 

AGENCY: Department of Health and 

Human Services, Office of the Secretary, 

Office of Public Health and Science, 

Office of Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 200u. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Disease 

Prevention and Health Promotion 

(ODPHP), Office of Public Health and 

Science (OPHS), U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS), is 

soliciting written comments on key 

elements of Healthy People 2020, 

including the vision, mission, 

overarching goals and framework. Every 

10 years, through the Healthy People 

initiative, HHS leverages scientific 

insights and lessons from the past 

decade, along with the new knowledge 

of current data, trends, and innovations 

to develop the next iteration of national 

health promotion and disease 

prevention objectives. Healthy People 

provides science-based, 10-year national 

objectives for promoting health and 

preventing disease. Since 1979, Healthy 

People has set and monitored national 

health objectives to meet a broad range 

of health needs, encourage 

collaborations across sectors, guide 

individuals toward making informed 

health decisions, and measure the 

impact of our prevention and health 

promotion activities. Healthy People 

2020 will reflect assessments of major 

risks to health and wellness, changing 

public health priorities, and emerging 

issues related to our nation’s health 

preparedness and prevention. 

Background: The Healthy People 

process is inclusive: its strength is 

directly tied to collaboration. The 

development process strives to 

maximize transparency, public input 

and stakeholder dialogue to ensure that 

Healthy People 2020 is relevant to 

diverse public health needs and seizes 

opportunities to achieve its goals. Since 

its inception, Healthy People has 

become a broad-based, public 

engagement initiative with thousands of 

citizens helping to shape it at every step 

along the way. Drawing on the expertise 

of a Secretary’s Advisory Committee on 

National Health Promotion and Disease 

Prevention Objectives for 2020 and 

public input, Healthy People will 

organize and establish a framework to 

address risk factors and determinants of 

health and the diseases and disorders 

that are affecting our communities. 

Public participation will shape 

Healthy People 2020, its purpose, goals, 

organization, and action plans. HHS has 

sought input from communities and 

stakeholders across the nation through 

six regional meetings and is soliciting 

written public comments on the 

development of Healthy People 2020 

through an online public comment 

database. As a national initiative, 

Healthy People’s success depends on a 

coordinated commitment to improve the 

health of the nation. Individuals may 

subscribe to the listserv at: http:// 

www.healthypeople.gov/Contact for the 

latest information on Healthy People 

2020 and to receive email notices of 

related Healthy People 2020. Healthy 

People 2020 will be released in twophases. The vision, mission, 

overarching goals, and organizing 

framework will be released in late 2008- 

early 2009. A year later, in January 

2010, the specific Healthy People 2020 

objectives with baselines and targets 

will be released. 

DATES: In order for comments on the 

proposed vision, mission, overarching 

goals, and framework for Healthy People 

2020 to be considered by the Secretary’s 

Advisory Committee on National Health 

Promotion and Disease Prevention 

Objectives for 2020, written comments 

must be submitted via the Internet at the 

Healthy People Web site http:// 

www.healthypeople.gov/hp2020/ 

comments by the close of business 

Eastern Daylight Time on September 2,

site after September 2, 2008 and before 

September 15, 2008 will be considered 

by HHS but not reviewed by the 

Secretary’s Advisory Committee. 

ADDRESSES: The proposed vision, 

mission, overarching goals, and 

framework for Healthy People 2020 can 

be viewed and commented on at
