Autism Coordinating Committee. A limited number of slots are available 
for individuals to provide a 2-3-minute summary or excerpt of their 
comment to the committee live during the virtual meeting using the 
virtual platform. For those interested in that opportunity, please 
indicate ``Interested in providing virtual comment'' in your written 
submission, along with your name, address, email, phone number, and 
professional/organizational affiliation so that OARC staff can contact 
you if a slot is available for you to provide a summary or excerpt of 
your comment via the virtual platform during the meeting. For any given 
meeting, priority for virtual comment slots will be given to commenters 
who have not previously provided virtual comments in the current 
calendar year. This will help ensure that as many individuals as 
possible have an opportunity to share comments. Commenters going over 
their allotted 3-minute slot may be asked to conclude immediately to 
allow other comments and the rest of the meeting to proceed on 
schedule.
    Public comments received by 5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, July 2, 2021, 
will be provided to the Committee prior to the meeting for their 
consideration. Any written comments received after 5:00 p.m. ET, 
Friday, July 2, 2021, may be provided to the Committee 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. 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: https://iacc.hhs.gov/meetings/public-comments/guidelines/.
    Individuals may also submit public comments to the IACC via a Live 
Feedback Form accessible from the webcast page on the days of the 
meeting during the time period announced. No pre-registration for Live 
Feedback comments is required. The link to the form will be accessible 
on the NIH Videocast website at https://videocast.nih.gov and

provided to the IACC and will become a part of the public record.
