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 IACC
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 address, phone number,
and professional/organizational affiliation so that ONAC staff can
contact you if a slot is available.
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 Tuesday,
January 9, 2024, will be provided to the Committee prior to the meeting
for their consideration. Any written comments received after 5:00 p.m.
ET, Tuesday, January 9, 2024, 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 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>.

business days prior to the meeting; last-minute requests may be made
