activity recommendations for the people of the United States. 
Each such report shall contain physical activity information

focus on a particular group, subsection, or other division of 
the general public or on a particular issue relating to 
physical activity.
(b) Interaction With Other Recommendations.--Federal agencies 
proposing to issue physical activity recommendations that differ from 
the recommendations in the most recent report published under 
subsection (a)(1) shall, as applicable and appropriate, take into 
consideration the recommendations provided through reports issued under 
this Act.
