organization will be allowed to present oral comments and 
presentations will be limited to three to five minutes per speaker,

order of the date and time when their request to speak is received, 
along with the required submission of the written/electronic

    In addition, any interested person may submit written public

the Contact Person listed on this notice by 5:00 p.m. ET on Monday,

provided to the Committee either before or after the meeting, 
depending on the volume of comments received and the time required

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.
    In the 2009 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 to diverse views with open minds, 
discuss submitted public comments, 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 
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) 485-1998.
    Individuals wishing to participate in person or by using these 
electronic services and who need special assistance, such as 
captioning of the conference call or other reasonable 
accommodations, should submit a request to the Contact Person listed 
on this notice at least five days prior to the meeting.
