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
<a href="http://www.DietaryGuidelines.gov">www.DietaryGuidelines.gov</a>. Comments and attachments submitted
electronically or by paper will be posted to the <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>
docket. You may submit comments as follows:
<bullet> Electronic submissions: Follow the instructions for
submitting comments at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
<bullet> 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.
<bullet> Electronic or Written Public Comments: Comments will be
accepted through 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time May 16, 2022 at
<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. 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 <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a> and
are under the same limitations as for those submitted electronically to
<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>: 5,000 (with spaces) character limit for text box,

attachments. A link to the <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a> electronic filing system
will also be available at <a href="http://www.DietaryGuidelines.gov">www.DietaryGuidelines.gov</a>.
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.
