SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CFSAC was established on September 5, 2002. 
The Committee was established to advise, consult with, and make 
recommendations to the Secretary, through the Assistant Secretary for 
Health, on a broad range of topics including (1) the current state of 
knowledge and research about the epidemiology and risk factors relating 
to chronic fatigue syndrome, and identifying potential opportunities in 
these areas; (2) current and proposed diagnosis and treatment methods 
for chronic fatigue syndrome; and (3) development and implementation of 
programs to inform the public, health care professionals, and the 
biomedical, academic, and research communities about chronic fatigue 
syndrome advances.
    Since CFSAC was established, renewal of the Committee charter has 
been carried out at the appropriate intervals as stipulated by FACA. 
The previous Committee charter was scheduled to expire on September 5, 
2010. On August 19, 2010, the Secretary of Health and Human Services 
approved for the Committee charter to be renewed. The new charter was 
effected and filed with the appropriate congressional offices and

provides authorization for the Committee to operate until September 5,
