    Additional information is available on the Council's website at:

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 14048, dated September 30, 2021, provides for the work 
of the Council to include a focus on expanding national awareness of 
the importance of mental health as it pertains to physical fitness and 
nutrition. To reflect the changes to the Council's scope under 
Executive Order 14048, the Charter has been amended and renewed.
    The Council is charged with advising the President, through the 
Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary), concerning progress 
made in carrying out the provisions of Executive Order 13265, as 
amended, as further amended by Executive Order 14048, which aims to 
expand and encourage youth sports participation and to promote the 
overall physical fitness, health, and nutrition of all Americans. The 
Council promotes this goal through external outreach, raising public 
awareness, and recommending to the President, through the Secretary, 
actions to accelerate such progress. Executive Order 14048 directs the 
Secretary to carry out the responsibilities for public health and human 
services, and to continue to promulgate a national strategy (the 
National Youth Sports Strategy) to expand children's participation in 
youth sports, encourage regular physical activity, including active 
play, and promote good nutrition for all Americans. Executive Order 
14048 also directs the Secretary to expand national awareness of the 
importance of mental health as it pertains to physical fitness and 
nutrition and to share information about the positive effects of 
physical activity on mental health, particularly as it relates to 
children and adolescents, to combat the negative mental health impacts 
of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
