    Public Comments: The IACC welcomes written and oral/virtual public 
comments from members of the autism community and asks the community to 
review and adhere to its Public Comment Guidelines. In the 2021-2023 
IACC Strategic Plan, the IACC lists 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 lived experiences of 
people on the autism spectrum and their families, consider multiple 
solutions, and foster discussions where participants can comfortably 
share different opinions.'' In keeping with this core value, the IACC 
and the NIMH Office of National Autism Coordination (ONAC) 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 either in person or via videoconference. 
For those interested in that opportunity, please indicate ``Interested 
in providing oral/virtual comment'' in your written submission, along 
with your name, address, email, phone number, and professional/
organizational affiliation so that ONAC staff can contact you if a slot 
is available.
    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 Monday, June 
24, 2024, will be provided to the Committee prior to the meeting for 
their consideration. Any written comments received after 5:00 p.m. ET, 
Monday, June 24, 2024, 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].
