{"abstract":"Across the country, childhood obesity has reached epidemic rates. On February 9, 2010, President Obama signed a Presidential Memo establishing a Task Force on Childhood Obesity that directs Federal agencies to create a comprehensive interagency national action plan to solve the challenge of childhood obesity within a generation. The Presidential Memo directs the Task Force to focus on four pillars: Ensuring access to healthy, affordable food; increasing physical activity in schools and communities; providing healthier food in schools; and empowering parents with information and tools to make good choices for themselves and their families. This notice announces a request for public comments to assist the Task Force in making recommendations on public and private sector actions that can be taken to solve the problem.","action":"Joint request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE","name":"Agriculture Department","id":12,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/agriculture-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/12","parent_id":null,"slug":"agriculture-department"},{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"},{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION","name":"Education Department","id":126,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/education-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/126","parent_id":null,"slug":"education-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2010/03/16/2010-5719.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"75 FR 12493","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2010-03-26","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"To be assured of consideration, written comments must be submitted or postmarked on or before March 26, 2010.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2010-5719","effective_on":null,"end_page":12494,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2010/03/16/2010-5719.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2010/03/16/2010-5719/task-force-on-childhood-obesity-request-for-information","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2010-5719?publication_date=2010-03-16","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2010-03-16/2010-5719/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":289,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 08:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2010-03-16/pdf/2010-5719.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2010-03-16","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2010/03/16/2010-5719.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2010-03-17T16:02:54Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":12493,"subtype":null,"title":"Task Force on Childhood Obesity: Request for Information","toc_doc":"Task Force on Childhood Obesity; Request for Information","toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":75}
