On June
10, 2010, the President issued Executive
Order 13544 to comply with the statutes
under Section 4001 of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act,
Public Law 111–148. This legislation
mandated that the Advisory Group was
to be established within the Department
of Health and Human Services. The
charter for the Advisory Group was
approved by the Secretary of Health and
Human Services on June 23, 2010; the
charter was filed with the appropriate
Congressional committees and the
Library of Congress on June 24, 2010.
The Advisory Group was established as
a non-discretionary federal advisory
committee. The Advisory Group was
authorized to operate until June 10,
2012. Because the Advisory Group had
been established by Presidential
directive, it was necessary for
appropriate action to be taken by the
President or agency head to give
authorization for the Advisory Group to
be continued. The President issued
Executive Order 13591, dated November
23, 2011, to give authorization for the
Advisory Group to continue to operate
until September 30, 2012. No action was
taken to continue the Advisory Group
after the designated date. Therefore, the
Advisory Group was terminated on
September 30, 2012. On December 7,
2012, the President issued Executive
Order 13631 to re-establish the Advisory
Group. A charter was developed for this
purpose. The charter was approved by
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services and filed with the appropriate
Congressional committees, the Library
of Congress, and the Committee
