DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Renewal of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness &
Nutrition's Charter
AGENCY: Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Office of
the Assistant Secretary for Health, Office of the Secretary, U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is
hereby giving notice that the charter for the President's Council on
Sports, Fitness & Nutrition (hereafter referred to as the Council) has
been renewed.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Functioning as a federal advisory committee,
the Council is governed by the provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA). FACA stipulates that the charter for a federal
advisory committee must be renewed every two years. The most recent
Executive Order 14327, dated July 31, 2025, provides for the
continuation of the Council.
The Council is charged with advising the President concerning
progress made in carrying out the provisions of Executive Order 14327,
which aims to promote the economic, academic, and social benefits of
youth sports, fitness, and nutrition. The Council promotes this goal
through external outreach, raising public awareness, and recommending
to the President actions to accelerate such progress. Executive Order
14327 asserts the following policy priorities: (a) prioritize and
expand children's participation in youth sports and active play; (b)
promote the physical, mental, and civic benefits of daily movement,
exercise, and good nutrition; and (c) engage every sector--public and
private, civilian and military--in creating a national culture of
strength, vitality, and excellence.
On May 8, 2026, the Secretary of Health and Human Services approved
the renewal of the Council's charter. The new charter was executed and
filed with the appropriate Congressional committees and the Library of
Congress on May 11, 2026. The renewal of the Council's charter gives
the Council authorization to operate until May 8, 2028.
A copy of the Council's charter is available at: <a href="https://odphp.health.gov/pcsfn">https://odphp.health.gov/pcsfn</a>.
Public Interest Determination: The President's Council on Sports,
Fitness & Nutrition is essential to executing the directives of
Executive Order 14327 and addressing critical national priorities
ranging from public health to national security. With childhood obesity
rates at historic highs and only 24% of children meeting recommended
physical activity guidelines, the Council provides the expert guidance
necessary to reverse these trends and ensure America's future workforce
and military readiness.
This broad scope requires the integrated expertise of leaders from
sports medicine, nutrition science, education, athletics, defense, and
community health. The public interest is served through the Council's
ability to translate these executive priorities into actionable
strategies, convene diverse stakeholders, and inspire national action
that makes physical fitness and good nutrition accessible to all
Americans.
