PUBLIC COMMENT: Your participation during NCD's public comment period
provides an opportunity for us to hear from you--individuals,
businesses, providers, educators, parents and advocates. Your comments
are important in bringing to the Council's attention and issues and
priorities of the disability community, and help inform open research
projects the Council has underway as well as the potential for future
ones.
For the November 16 Council meeting, NCD will have two town hall
format public comment sessions focused on housing concerns and
opportunities, and transportation concerns and opportunities for people
with disabilities. Commenters will be limited to three minutes each to
accommodate as many comments as possible. Additional information on
specifics of the topic is available on NCD's public comment page at
<a href="https://ncd.gov/public-comment">https://ncd.gov/public-comment</a>.
The Council will prioritize in-person commenters, but as time
permits, will also receive public comment by video or audio over Zoom,
and always accepts advance public comments via email. Due to the hybrid
nature of the event, in-person presentations will be given priority.
To provide public comment during an NCD Council Meeting in any form
(in-person or by Zoom), NCD now requires advanced registration by
sending send an email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#065673646a6f6545696b6b6368724668656228616970"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="44143126282d27072b2929212a30042a27206a232b32">[email protected]</span></a> with the subject line
``Public Comment'' and your name, organization, state, and topic of
comment included in the body of your email. Deadline for registration
is November 14, 8:00 p.m. EST. Please indicate if you are providing the
comment in-person, over Zoom, or only submitting via email. All
individuals desiring to make public comment are strongly encouraged to
read NCD's guidelines for public comment in advance of the meeting at:
<a href="https://ncd.gov/public-comment">https://ncd.gov/public-comment</a>.
While public comment can be submitted on any topic over email,
comments during the meeting should be specific to experiences with
housing concerns and opportunities for people with disabilities.
