individuals to provide a 2-3-minute summary or excerpt of their written
comment to the Committee live during the virtual meeting using the
virtual platform. For those interested in that opportunity, please
indicate ``Interested in providing virtual comment'' in your written
submission, along with your name, address, email, phone number, and
professional/organizational affiliation so that OARC staff can contact
you if a slot is available for you to provide a summary or excerpt of
your comment via the virtual platform during the meeting. For any given
meeting, priority for virtual comment slots will be given to commenters
who have not previously provided virtual comments in the current
calendar year. This will help ensure that as many individuals as
possible have an opportunity to share comments. Commenters going over
their allotted 3-minute slot may be asked to conclude immediately to
allow other comments and the rest of the meeting to proceed on
schedule.
Public comments received by 5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, October 1,
2021, will be provided to the IACC prior to the meeting for their
consideration. Any written comments received after 5:00 p.m. ET,
October 1, 2021, may be provided to the IACC either before or after the
meeting, depending on the volume of comments received and the time
required to process them in accordance with privacy regulations and
other applicable Federal policies. The IACC is not able to individually
respond to comments. All public comments become part of the public
record. Attachments of copyrighted publications are not permitted, but
web links or citations for any copyrighted works cited may be provided.
