    Background on the CPSTF: The CPSTF is an independent, nonfederal 
panel whose members are appointed by the CDC Director. CPSTF members 
represent a broad range of research, practice, and policy expertise in 
prevention, wellness, health promotion, and public health. The CPSTF 
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 CPSTF. During its

[[Page 23362]]

meetings, the CPSTF considers the findings of systematic reviews on 
existing research and practice-based evidence and issues 
recommendations. CPSTF recommendations are not mandates for compliance 
or spending. Instead, they provide information about evidence-based 
options that decision makers and stakeholders can consider when they 
are determining what best meets the specific needs, preferences, 
available resources, and constraints of their jurisdictions and 
constituents. The CPSTF's recommendations, along with the systematic 
reviews of the evidence on which they are based, are compiled in the 
The Community Guide.
    Matters proposed for discussion: Information regarding any changes 
to the start and end times for the meeting, if required, and the agenda

Executive Secretary, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
