has been renewed.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Anne Bishop, ScD, MPH,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 by Executive Order 13824, 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 13824 directs the 
Secretary to carry out the responsibilities for public health and human 
services and to recognize the benefits of youth sports participation, 
physical activity, and a nutritious diet in helping create habits that 
support a healthy lifestyle. The Executive Order also directs the 
Secretary to develop a national strategy to expand children's 
participation in youth sports, encourage regular physical activity, 
including active play, and promote good nutrition for all Americans. 
Published in September 2019, the National Youth Sport Strategy (NYSS) 
focuses on children and youth in communities with below-average sports 
participation and communities with limited access to athletic 
facilities or recreational areas. The Council is tasked to provide 
additional support in promoting, shaping, and executing elements of the 
NYSS.
    On May 13, 2020, the Secretary of Health and Human Services 
approved the renewal of the Council's charter. The new charter was 
executed and filed with the appropriate Congressional committees and 
the Library of Congress on May 17, 2020. The renewal of the Council's 
charter gives the Council authorization to operate until May 16, 2022.
    A copy of the Council's charter is available on the Council's 
website at: https://www.hhs.gov/fitness/about-pcsfn/executive-order/index.html#charter.
