    Public Comment: Your participation during the 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.
    For the March 6 Council meeting, NCD will have a public comment 
period of 40 minutes and requests comments from the public regarding 
experiences of younger people in nursing homes. 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, NCD now 
requires advanced registration by either signing up to present while 
registering for the meeting or sending an email to

name, organization, state, and topic of comment included in the body of 
your email.
    Deadline for registration is March 4, 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 
younger people with disabilities in nursing homes.
