Public Comment: Your participation during the public comment period provides an
opportunity for us to hear from you -- individuals, businesses, providers, educators,
parents and advocates. Your comments are important in bringing to the Council’s
attention and issues and priorities of the disability community. For the June 27 Council
meeting, NCD will have a public comment session to receive perspectives on the most
notable disability policy achievements from Summer 2023 to present. NCD asks for the
top three achievements from each presenter. Additional information on specifics of the
topic and guidelines are available on NCD’s public comment page at
https://www.ncd.gov/public-comment/.
Because of the virtual format, the Council will receive public comment by email or by
video or audio over Zoom. To provide public comment during an NCD Council Meeting,
NCD now requires advanced registration by either signing up to present while
registering for the meeting or sending an email to PublicComment@ncd.gov with the
subject line “Public Comment” and your name, organization, state, and topic of
comment included in the body of your email. Deadline for registration is June 26, 8:00
p.m. EDT.
While public comment can be submitted on any topic over email, comments during the
meeting should be specific to most notable disability policy achievements, as the input
is needed for an upcoming report.
If any time remains following the conclusion of the comments of those registered, NCD
may call upon those who desire to make comments but did not register.
