SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Correction
In the Federal Register of February 10, 2023, in FR Doc 2023-02826,
on page 8876 in the first column, correct the Addresses section to
read, ``Please see the supplementary information to view the questions.
Comments must be submitted via <a href="http://Regulations.gov">Regulations.gov</a>. Mailed paper and
emailed submissions will not be reviewed.''
At the second column, tenth line, after the end of the sentence
``conversation therapy.'' the sentence should continue with the
following: ``(efforts to change an individual's sexual orientation,
gender identity, or gender expression, a practice not supported by any
credible evidence that has been rejected and disavowed by behavioral
health experts and associations). Conversion therapy perpetuates
outdated views of gender roles and identities as well as the negative
stereotype that being a sexual or gender minority or identifying as
LGBTQI+ is an abnormal aspect of human development. Most importantly,
it may put young people at risk of serious harm.''
At the second column, second paragraph to the end of the document
is to be replaced as follows: ``Request for Comments on the Report
Development on Promising Practices for Advancing Health Equity for
Intersex Individuals: The OASH invites input from intersex people,
stakeholders throughout the scientific research community, clinical and
behavioral practice communities, patient and family advocates, school
and university-based campus health care providers, persons from rural
and frontier areas, scientific or professional organizations, federal
partners, internal HHS stakeholders, and other interested members of
the public on the two questions highlighted below. This input will
serve as a valuable element in the development of the report, and the
community's time and consideration are highly appreciated.
<bullet> What do you see as the current clinical/behavioral,
research, services, and/or policy gaps that you are hoping this report
addresses?
<bullet> What recent or ongoing research, innovative clinical/
behavioral approaches and/or policy actions do you think are important
for us to know about as we begin this work?
<bullet> What are the barriers to intersex individuals receiving
clinical/behavioral care? Are there innovative policies or practices
that overcome such barriers?
<bullet> What are the social factors that impact clinical/
behavioral care (e.g., the medical community's perceptions or biases
around sex/gender) and how do these impact delivery and quality of care
for intersex individuals?
<bullet> What promising practices for advancing health equity for
intersex individuals should we be aware of?
Responses to this RFI are voluntary. Do not include any personally
identifiable, proprietary, classified, confidential, trade secret, or
sensitive information in your response. The responses will be reviewed
by OASH staff, and individual feedback will not be provided to any
responder. The Government will use the information submitted in

right to release comments publicly and to use any submitted information
on public HHS websites; in reports; in summaries of the state of the
science; in any possible resultant solicitation(s), grant(s), or
cooperative agreement(s); or in the development of future funding
opportunity announcements.
This RFI is for information and planning purposes only and should
not be construed as a solicitation for applications or proposals, or as
an obligation in any way on the part of the United States Federal
Government, the HHS, or individual HHS Agencies and Offices to provide
support for any ideas identified in response to it. The Federal
Government will not pay for the preparation of any information
submitted or for the Government's use of such information.
No basis for claims against the U.S. Government shall arise as a
result of a response to this RFI or from the Government's use of such
information. Additionally, the Government cannot guarantee the
confidentiality of the information provided.''
