Public Comment: Your participation during the public comment period

are important in bringing to the Council's attention and issues and
priorities of the disability community.
For the February 8 Council meeting, NCD will have a public comment
session to receive input on experiences with ground transportation.
Additional information on specifics of the topic and guidelines are
available on NCD's public comment page at <a href="https://www.ncd.gov/public-comment/">https://www.ncd.gov/public-comment/</a>.
Because of the virtual format, the Council will receive public
comment by email or by video or audio over Zoom. To provide public
comment during an NCD Council Meeting, NCD now requires advanced
registration by sending send an email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#3d6d485f51545e7e5250505853497d535e59135a524b"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="89d9fcebe5e0eacae6e4e4ece7fdc9e7eaeda7eee6ff">[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 February 7, 8:00 p.m. EDT.
While public comment can be submitted on any topic over email,
comments during the meeting should be specific to ground transportation
experiences, as the input is needed for an upcoming report.
If any time remains following the conclusion of the comments of
those registered, NCD may call upon those who desire to make comments
but did not register.
