edition of the PAG will build upon the 

first edition and provide a foundation

for Americans, including those at risk 

for chronic disease.

single, time-limited task. The work of

and current resource documents, and 

develop a scientific report to the 

Secretary of HHS that outlines its 

science-based advice and 

recommendations for development of 

the second edition of the PAG. The 

Committee consists of 17 members, who 

were appointed by the Secretary in June 

2016. Information on the Committee

Committee will be terminated after 

delivery of its report to the Secretary of 

HHS or two years from the date the 

charter was filed, whichever comes first.
