Public Comments: Any member of the

Contact Person listed on this notice by 5:00

oral presentation/statement must be 

submitted by 5:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, 

January 8, 2019. 

A limited number of slots for oral 

comments are available, and to ensure that as 

many different individuals can present 

throughout the year as possible, any given 

individual only will be permitted to present 

oral comments once per calendar year (2019). 

Only one representative of an organization 

will be allowed to present oral comments in 

any given meeting; other representatives of 

the same group may provide written 

comments. If the oral comment session is 

full, individuals who could not be 

accommodated are welcome to provide 

written comments instead. Comments to be 

read or presented in the meeting will be 

assigned a 3–5 minutes time slot depending 

on the number of comments, but a longer 

version may be submitted in writing for the 

record. Commenters going beyond their 

allotted time in the meeting may be asked to 

conclude immediately to allow other 

comments and presentations to proceed on 

schedule. 

Any interested person may submit written 

public comments to the IACC prior to the 

meeting by emailing the comments to 

IACCPublicInquiries@mail.nih.gov or by 

submitting comments at the web link: https:// 

iacc.hhs.gov/meetings/public-comments/ 

submit/index.jsp by 5:00 p.m. ET on 

Tuesday, January 8, 2019. The comments 

should include the name, address, telephone 

number, and when applicable, the business 

or professional affiliation of the interested 

person. NIMH anticipates written public 

comments received by 5:00 p.m. ET on 

Tuesday, January 8, 2019, will be presented 

to the Committee prior to the meeting for the 

Committee’s consideration. Any written 

comments received after the 5:00 p.m. ET, 

January 8, 2019 deadline through January 16, 

2019, will 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 written public 

comments and oral public comment 

statements received by the deadlines for both 

oral and written public comments will be 

provided to the IACC for their consideration 

and will become part of the public record.

best suited for brief questions and comments 

for the committee. Submissions will be 

provided to the IACC and will become a part 

of the public record. 

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 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 seek 

to treat others with respect and consideration 

in their communications and actions, even 

when discussing issues of genuine concern or 

disagreement. 

Remote Access: The meeting will be open 

to the public through a conference call phone 

number and webcast live on the internet. 

Members of the public who participate using 

the conference call phone number will be 

able to listen to the meeting but will not be 

heard. If you experience any technical 

problems with the webcast or conference 

call, please send an email to 

IACCPublicInquiries@mail.nih.gov or call 

240–668–0302. 

Disability Accommodations: All IACC Full 

Meetings provide Closed Captioning through 

the NIH videocast website. Remote CART is 

provided through a web application and will 

be available at all meetings; the application 

can be used on a laptop computer or mobile

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

requester if more information is needed to fill 

the request. Special requests should be made 

as early as possible; last minute requests may 

be made but may not be possible to 

accommodate.
