Public Comments
The IACC welcomes public comments from members of the autism
community and asks the community to review and adhere to its Public
Comment Guidelines. In the 2016-2017 IACC Strategic Plan, the IACC
listed the ``Spirit of Collaboration'' as one of its core values,
stating that, ``We will treat others with respect, listen with open
minds to the diverse views of people on the autism spectrum and their
families, thoughtfully consider community input, and foster discussions
where participants can comfortably offer opposing opinions.'' In
keeping with this core value, the IACC and the NIMH Office of Autism
Research Coordination (OARC) ask that members of the public who provide
public comments or participate in meetings of the IACC also seek to
treat others with respect and consideration in their communications and
actions, even when discussing issues of genuine concern or
disagreement.
As the IACC will be updating its Strategic Plan, comments related
to issues that the community would like to see highlighted in the new
IACC Strategic Plan are welcome. Comments may be submitted in writing
via email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#662f2725253613040a0f052f0817130f140f0315260b070f0a48080f0e48010910"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="5811191b1b082d3a34313b1136292d312a313d2b183539313476363130763f372e">[email protected]</span></a> or using the web form at:
<a href="https://iacc.hhs.gov/meetings/public-comments/submit/index.jsp">https://iacc.hhs.gov/meetings/public-comments/submit/index.jsp</a> by 5:00
p.m. ET on Friday, April 1, 2022. A limited number of slots are
available for 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 live virtual comment slots will be
given to those who have not previously provided live 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 in order 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, April 1, 2022,
will be provided to the Committee prior to the meeting for their
consideration. Any written comments received after 5:00 p.m. ET, April
1, 2022, may be provided to the Committee either before or after
[[Page 14543]]
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 Committee 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. For public comment guidelines, see: <a href="https://iacc.hhs.gov/meetings/public-comments/guidelines/">https://iacc.hhs.gov/meetings/public-comments/guidelines/</a>.
