2023, by 5:00 p.m. ET Public Comment Guidelines.
    For public comment instructions, see below.
    Contact Person: Ms. Rebecca Martin, Office of Autism Research 
Coordination, National Institute of Mental Health, NIH, Phone: 301-

    Public Comments: The IACC welcomes written and virtual public 
comments from members of the autism community and asks the community 
to review and adhere to its Public Comment Guidelines.
    In the 2016-2017 IACC Strategic Plan, the IACC listed 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 views of people on the autism spectrum and their families, 
thoughtfully consider community input, and foster discussions where 
participants can comfortably offer opposing opinions.'' In keeping 
with this core value, the IACC and the NIMH Office of Autism 
Research Coordination (OARC) 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 via 
the virtual platform to the Committee during the meeting. For those 
interested in that opportunity, please indicate ``Interested in 
providing virtual oral 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 live virtual comment slots 
will be given to individuals who have not previously provided live 
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 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 10, 2023, 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 10, 2023, 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. The Committee 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: https://iacc.hhs.gov/meetings/public-comments/guidelines/.
    Technical issues: If you experience any technical problems with 
the webcast, please email [email protected].
    Disability Accommodations: All IACC Full Committee Meetings 
provide Closed Captioning through the NIH videocast website. 
Individuals whose full participation in the meeting will require 
special accommodations (e.g., sign language or interpreting 
services, etc.) must submit a request to the Contact Person listed 
on the notice at least seven (7) business days prior to the meeting. 
Such requests should include a detailed description of the 
accommodation needed and a way for the IACC to contact the requester 
if more information is needed to fill the request. Special requests 
should be made at least seven (7) business days prior to the 
meeting; last-minute requests may be made but may not be possible to
