a pesticide inert ingredient in aerosol, 

pheromone mating disruption products

of Insufficient Evidence 

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention, HHS. 

ACTION: Denial of petition for addition of 

a health condition. 

SUMMARY: On January 22, 2014, the 

Administrator of the World Trade 

Center (WTC) Health Program received 

a petition to add ‘‘kidney damage’’

Administrator has not found sufficient 

scientific evidence to conduct an 

analysis of whether to add kidney 

damage and/or disease to the List. 

Accordingly, the Administrator finds 

that insufficient evidence exists to 

request a recommendation of the WTC 

Health Program Scientific/Technical 

Advisory Committee (STAC), to publish 

a proposed rule, or to publish a 

determination not to publish a proposed 

rule. 

DATES: The Administrator of the WTC 

Health Program is denying this petition 

for the addition of a health condition as 

of March 31, 2014.
