Meeting of the Community Preventive Services Task Force (Task 
Force)

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces 
the next meeting of the Community Preventive Services Task Force (Task 
Force). The Task Force is an independent, nonpartisan, nonfederal, and 
unpaid panel. Its members represent a broad range of research, 
practice, and policy expertise in prevention, wellness, health 
promotion, and public health, and are appointed by the CDC Director. 
The Task Force was convened in 1996 by the Department of Health and 
Human Services (HHS) to identify community preventive programs, 
services, and policies that increase healthy longevity, save lives and 
dollars and improve Americans' quality of life. CDC is mandated to 
provide ongoing administrative, research, and technical support for the 
operations of the Task Force. During its meetings, the Task Force 
considers the findings of systematic reviews on existing research, and 
issues recommendations. Task Force recommendations are not mandates for 
compliance or spending. Instead, they provide information about 
evidence-based options that decision makers and stakeholders can 
consider when determining what best meets the specific needs, 
preferences, available resources, and constraints of their 
jurisdictions and constituents. The Task Force's recommendations, along 
with the systematic reviews of the scientific evidence on which they 
are based, are compiled in the Guide to Community Preventive Services 
(Community Guide).

DATES: The meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 28, 2015 from 
8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. EDT and Thursday, October 29, 2015 from 8:30
