Public Comments

    The IACC welcomes written and oral 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 to 
the Committee during the meeting. For those interested in that 
opportunity, please indicate ``Interested in providing 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 during the meeting.
    For any given meeting, priority for comment slots will be given 
to individuals and organizations that have not previously provided 
comments in the current calendar year. This will help ensure that as 
many individuals and organizations 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 
Wednesday, March 22, 2023, will be provided to the Committee prior 
to the meeting for their consideration. Any written comments 
received after 5:00 p.m. ET, Wednesday, March 22, 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/.

Disability Accommodations

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
