Dietary Guidelines committee meeting to be rescheduled
October 28, 2013 | 01:36 PM
The second meeting of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, originally scheduled for October 3-4 but postponed due to the government shutdown, is being rescheduled, the Agriculture and Health and Human Services departments announced today.
The new meeting date will be announced through a notice published in the Federal Register at least 15 days before the meeting, USDA and HHS said. The Federal Register notice, meeting registration, and meeting information will be posted at dietaryguidelines.gov when available.
Individuals who were confirmed or on standby to provide oral testimony for the October meeting will retain their standing for the rescheduled meeting. New requests for oral testimony will not be accepted.
The committee’s recommendations and rationale will be presented in a report to both the HHS and USDA secretaries and will serve as a basis for the eighth edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
