The President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health; Notice 
of Web-Based Public Comment Section

    Pursuant to Executive Order 13263, notice is hereby given of the 
web-based public comment section of the President's New Freedom 
Commission on Mental Health's website, www.MentalHealthCommission.gov.
    The President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health is 
soliciting public comment from stakeholders in the mental health 
community. The purpose of obtaining public comment is to assist the 
Commission in formulating an action plan for the President that will 
improve America's mental health service delivery system.
    While all relevant comments are of interest and may be submitted to 
the Commission at any time, several topics will be listed on the 
website for public comment. All selected topics for public comment 
reflect the President's charge, as outlined in Executive Order 13263. 
The topics listed on the website will change, focusing first on 
identifying problems and barriers within the system, and later on 
identifying solutions. Comments relating to the first set of topics 
will be most helpful to the Commission if submitted by August 20, 2002. 
An additional set of topics will be posted after that time.
    All comments received prior to December 31, 2002 will be collected 
and the themes will be included in Commission reports. Comments will 
still be accepted after December 31, 2002 and will be available for 
Commissioner review.
    The public may provide comments to the Commission through three 
methods:
    (1) The Web site, www.MentalHealthCommission.gov. Comments that 
relate to topics on the web page can be sent electronically or printed 
off and mailed to the Commission: 5600 Fishers Lane, Parklawn Building, 
Room 13C-26, Rockville, MD 20857;
    (2) Mail written comments or information to the Commission; or
    (3) Present comments directly to the Commission during the public
