Contact Person: Ms. Rebecca Martin, Office of National Autism
Coordination, National Institute of Mental Health, NIH, Phone: 301-
435-0886, Email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7e373f3d3d2e0b1c12171d37100f0b170c171b0d3e131f17125010171650191108"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d19890929281a4b3bdb8b298bfa0a4b8a3b8b4a291bcb0b8bdffbfb8b9ffb6bea7">[email protected]</span></a>.
Public Comments: The IACC welcomes written and oral public
comments from members of the autism community and asks the community
to review and adhere to its Public Comment Guidelines. In the 2021-
2023 IACC Strategic Plan, the IACC lists 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
lived experiences of people on the autism spectrum and their
families, consider multiple solutions, and foster discussions where
participants can comfortably share different opinions.'' In keeping
with this core value, the IACC and the NIMH Office of National
Autism Coordination (ONAC) ask that members of the public who
provide public comments or participate in meetings of the IACC also
adhere to this core value.
A limited number of slots are available for individuals to
provide a ~3-minute summary or excerpt of their written comment to
the Committee during the meeting. For those interested in that
opportunity, please indicate ``Interested in providing oral
comment'' in your written submission, along with your name, address,
email, phone number, and professional/organizational affiliation so
that ONAC staff can contact you if a slot is available for you to
provide a summary or excerpt of your comment during the meeting.
For any given meeting, priority for comment slots will be given
to individuals and organizations that have not previously provided
comments in the current calendar year. This will help ensure that as
many individuals and organizations 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 comment submissions received by 5:00 p.m. ET on
Wednesday, September 20, 2023, will be provided to the Committee
prior to the meeting for their consideration. Any written comments
received after 5:00 p.m. ET, Wednesday, September 20, 2023, may be
provided to the Committee 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 Committee is not able to respond
individually 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>.
