                Executive Order 13545 of June 22, 2010

                
President's Council on Fitness, Sports, and 
                Nutrition

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, and to recognize that good nutrition goes hand 
                in hand with fitness and sports participation, 
                Executive Order 13265 of June 6, 2002, is hereby 
                amended as follows:

                Section 1. The title is revised to read as follows: 
                ``President's Council on Fitness, Sports, and 
                Nutrition.''

                Sec. 2. Sections 1 through 5 are revised to read as 
                follows:

                ``Section 1. Purpose. The Secretary of Health and Human 
                Services (Secretary), in carrying out the Secretary's 
                responsibilities for public health and human services, 
                shall develop and coordinate a national program to 
                enhance physical activity, fitness, sports 
                participation, and good nutrition. Through this 
                program, the Secretary shall, in consultation with the 
                Secretaries of Agriculture and Education, seek to:

                    (a) expand national interest in and awareness of 
                the benefits of regular physical activity, fitness, 
                sports participation, and good nutrition;
                    (b) stimulate and enhance coordination of programs 
                within and among the private and public sectors that 
                promote physical activity, fitness, sports 
                participation, and good nutrition;
                    (c) expand availability of quality information and 
                guidance regarding physical activity, fitness, sports 
                participation, and good nutrition; and
                    (d) target all Americans, with particular emphasis 
                on children and adolescents, as well as populations or 
                communities in which specific risks or disparities in 
                participation in, access to, or knowledge about the 
                benefits of physical activity, fitness, sports 
                participation, and good nutrition have been identified.

                In implementing this order, the Secretary shall be 
                guided by the science-based Federal Dietary Guidelines 
                for Americans and the Physical Activity Guidelines for 
                Americans. Additionally, the Secretary shall undertake 
                nutrition-related activities under this order in 
                coordination with the Secretary of Agriculture.

                Sec. 2. The President's Council on Fitness, Sports, and 
                Nutrition. (a) There is hereby established the 
                President's Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition 
                (Council).

                    (b) The Council shall be composed of up to 25 
                members appointed by the President. Members shall serve 
                for a term of 2 years, shall be eligible for 
                reappointment, and may continue to serve after the 
                expiration of their terms until the appointment of a 
                successor. The President may designate one or more 
                members as Chair or Vice Chair.

                Sec. 3. Functions of the Council. (a) The Council shall 
                advise the President, through the Secretary, concerning 
                progress made in carrying out the provisions of this 
                order and shall recommend to the President, through the 
                Secretary, actions to accelerate progress.

                    (b) The Council shall advise the Secretary on ways 
                to promote regular physical activity, fitness, sports 
                participation, and good nutrition. Recommendations may 
                address, but are not necessarily limited to, public 
                awareness campaigns; Federal, State, and local physical 
                activity; fitness, sports participation, and nutrition 
                initiatives; and partnership opportunities between 
                public- and private-sector health-promotion entities.

                    (c) The Council shall function as a liaison to 
                relevant State, local, and private entities in order to 
                advise the Secretary regarding opportunities to extend 
                and improve physical activity, fitness, sports, and 
                nutrition programs and services at the local, State, 
                and national levels.
                    (d) The Council shall monitor the need to enhance 
                programs and educational and promotional materials 
                sponsored, overseen, or disseminated by the Council, 
                and shall advise the Secretary as necessary concerning 
                such need.

                In performing its functions, the Council shall take 
                into account the Federal Dietary Guidelines for 
                Americans and the Physical Activity Guidelines for 
                Americans.

                Sec. 4. Administration. (a) Each executive department 
                and agency shall, to the extent permitted by law and 
                subject to the availability of funds, furnish such 
                information and assistance to the Secretary and the 
                Council as they may request.

                    (b) The members of the Council shall serve without 
                compensation for their work on the Council. Members of 
                the Council may, however, receive travel expenses, 
                including per diem in lieu of subsistence, as 
                authorized by law for persons serving intermittently in 
                Government service (5 U.S.C. 5701-5707).
                    (c) To the extent permitted by law, the Secretary 
                shall furnish the Council with necessary staff, 
                supplies, facilities, and other administrative 
                services. The expenses of the Council shall be paid 
                from funds available to the Secretary.
                    (d) The Secretary shall appoint an Executive 
                Director of the Council who shall serve as a liaison to 
                the Secretary and the White House on matters and 
                activities pertaining to the Council.
                    (e) The Council, with the approval of the 
                Secretary, may establish subcommittees as appropriate 
                to aid in its work.
                    (f) The seal prescribed by Executive Order 10830 of 
                July 24, 1959, as amended, shall be modified to reflect 
                the name of the Council as established by this order.

                Sec. 5. General Provisions. (a) Insofar as the Federal 
                Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.) 
                (Act), may apply to the administration of any portion 
                of this order, any functions of the President under the 
                Act, except that of reporting to the Congress, shall be 
                performed by the Secretary in accordance with the 
                guidelines and procedures issued by the Administrator 
                of General Services.

                    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or
