                 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 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: Cancer Prevention and Control;
                Obesity Prevention and Control; Pregnancy Health; and Tobacco
                Cessation.
                 The agenda is subject to change without notice.
                 Roybal Campus Security Guidelines: The Edward R. Roybal Campus is
                the headquarters of the CDC and is located at 1600 Clifton Road NE,
                Atlanta, Georgia. The meeting is being held in a Federal government
                building; therefore, Federal security measures are applicable.
                 All meeting attendees must register by the dates outlined under
                Meeting Accessability. In planning your arrival time, please take into
                account the need to park and clear security. All visitors must enter
                the Edward R. Roybal Campus through the front entrance on Clifton Road.
                Vehicles may be searched, and the guard force will then direct visitors
                to the designated parking area. Upon arrival at the facility, visitors
                must present government-issued photo identification (e.g., a valid
                federal identification badge, state driver's license, state non-
                driver's identification card, or passport). Non-United States citizens
                must complete the required security paperwork prior to the meeting date
                and must present a valid passport, visa, Permanent Resident Card, or
                other type of work authorization document upon arrival at the facility.
                Instructions for completing the required security paperwork will be
                provided after registration. All persons entering the building must
                pass through a metal detector. CDC Security personnel will issue a
                visitor's ID badge at the entrance to Building 19. Visitors may receive
                an escort to the meeting room. All items brought to HHS/CDC are subject
                to inspection.
                 Dated: August 13, 2019.
                Sandra Cashman,
                Executive Secretary, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
