SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background Information 

Immediately following the September 

11, 2001, terrorist attack on New York 

City’s World Trade Center, many 

Federal agencies, including the EPA, 

were called upon to focus their 

technical and scientific expertise on the 

national emergency. EPA, other Federal 

agencies, New York City and New York 

State public health and environmental 

authorities focused on numerous 

cleanup, dust collection and ambient air 

monitoring activities to ameliorate and 

better understand the human health 

impacts of the disaster. Detailed 

information concerning the 

environmental monitoring activities that 

were conducted as part of this response 

is available at the EPA Response to 9–

11 Web site at http://www.epa.gov/wtc/.

In addition to environmental 

monitoring, EPA efforts also included 

toxicity testing of the dust on laboratory 

mice, as well as the development of a 

human exposure and health risk 

assessment. This risk assessment 

document, Exposure and Human Health 

Evaluation of Airborne Pollution from 

the World Trade Center Disaster (http:/

/www.epa.gov/ncea/wtc.htm), has been 

subjected to public comment and expert 

peer review and is currently undergoing 

revisions prior to finalization. 

Numerous additional studies by other 

Federal and State agencies, universities 

and other organizations have 

documented impacts to both the 

outdoor and indoor environments and 

to human health. 

While these monitoring and 

assessment activities were ongoing and 

the cleanup at Ground Zero itself was 

occurring, EPA began planning for a 

program to clean and monitor 

residential apartments. From June until 

December 2002, residents impacted by 

WTC dust and debris in an area of about 

1 mile by 1 mile south of Canal Street 

were eligible to request federally funded 

cleaning and monitoring for airborne 

asbestos or only monitoring of their 

residences. The cleanup continued into 

the summer of 2003, by which time EPA 

had cleaned and monitored 3,400 

apartments and monitored an additional 

800 apartments. Detailed information on 

this portion of the EPA response is also 

available at http://www.epa.gov/wtc/.

A critical component of 

understanding long-term human health 

impacts is the establishment of health 

registries. The WTC Health Registry is a 

comprehensive and confidential health 

survey of those most directly exposed to 

the contamination resulting from the 

collapse of the WTC towers. It is 

intended to give health professionals a 

better picture of the health 

consequences of 9/11. It was established 

by the Agency for Toxic Substances and 

Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the New 

York City Department of Health and 

Mental Hygiene (NYCDHMH), in 

cooperation with a number of academic 

institutions, public agencies and 

community groups. Detailed 

information about the registry can be 

obtained from the registry Web site at: 

http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/wtc/

index.html.

In order to obtain individual advice 

on the effectiveness of these programs, 

unmet needs and data gaps, EPA has 

convened a technical panel of experts 

who have been involved with WTC 

assessment activities. Dr. Paul Gilman, 

EPA Science Advisor, serves as Chair of 

the panel, and Dr. Paul Lioy, Professor 

of Environmental and Community 

Medicine at the Environmental and 

Occupational Health Sciences Institute 

of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical 

School—UMDNJ and Rutgers 

University, serves as Vice Chair. A full 

list of the panel members and a charge 

statement and operating principles for 

the panel are available from the panel 

Web site listed above. Panel members 

will provide individual advice on issues 

the panel addresses. Panel meetings will 

occur in New York City and nearby 

locations. All of the meetings will be 

announced on the Web site and by a 

Federal Register notice, and they will 

be open to the public for attendance and 

also to provide brief oral comment. 

The WTC Expert Panel has met seven 

times as of the date of this notice. 

Mostly, panel members have addressed 

the development of a design for a 

sampling program to determine the 

geographic extent of WTC impacts to the 

indoor environment. For the last two 

meetings, there have also been 

presentations and discussions on 

studies, either underway or completed, 

which have addressed human health 

impacts resulting from the collapse of 

the WTC towers. 

Changes will be made to the Draft 

Proposed Sampling Program to 

Determine Extent of World Trade Center 

Impacts to the Indoor Environment 

based on comments received as a result 

of this notice. A final sampling program 

document will then be posted on the 

WTC Expert Panel’s Web site. 

2. How to Submit Information to EDocket 

EPA has established an official public 

docket for information pertaining to this 

action, Docket ID No. ORD–2004–0003. 

The official public docket is the 

collection of materials, excluding 

Confidential Business Information (CBI) 

or other information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute, that is available for 

public viewing at the Office of 

Environmental Information (OEI) Docket 

in the Headquarters EPA Docket Center 

(EPA/DC), EPA West Building, Room 

B102, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., 

Washington, DC. The EPA Docket 

Center Public Reading Room is open 

from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, excluding legal 

holidays. The telephone number for the 

Public Reading Room is (202) 566–1744, 

and the telephone number for the OEI 

Docket is (202) 566–1752; facsimile: 

(202) 566–1753; or e-mail: 

ORD.Docket@epa.gov.

An electronic version of the official 

public docket is available through EPA’s 

electronic public docket and comment 

system, EPA Dockets. You may use EPA 

Dockets at http://www.epa.gov/edocket/

to submit or view public comments, to 

access the index listing of the contents 

of the official public docket, and to view 

those documents in the public docket 

that are available electronically. Once in 

the system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in 

the appropriate docket identification 

number. 

Certain types of information will not 

be placed in EPA Dockets. As indicated 

above, information claimed as CBI and 

other information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute is not included in 

the official public docket; the same 

61840 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 203 / Thursday, October 21, 2004 / Notices 

information will not be available for 

public viewing in EPA Dockets. 

Copyrighted material also will not be 

placed in EPA Dockets but will be 

referenced there and available as 

printed material in the official public 

docket. 

Persons submitting information 

should note that EPA’s policy makes the 

information available as received and at 

no charge for public viewing in EPA 

Dockets. This policy applies to 

information submitted electronically or 

in paper, except where restricted by 

copyright, CBI or statute. 

Unless restricted as above, 

information submitted on computer 

disks that are mailed or delivered to the 

docket will be transferred to EPA 

Dockets. Physical objects will be 

photographed, where practical, and the 

photograph will be placed in EPA 

Dockets along with a brief description 

written by the docket staff. 

You may submit information 

electronically, by mail, by facsimile or 

by hand delivery/courier. To ensure 

proper receipt by EPA, include the 

appropriate docket identification 

number with your submission. Please 

adhere to the specified submitting 

period. Information received or 

submitted past the close date will be 

marked ‘‘late’’ and will only be 

considered if time permits. 

If you submit information 

electronically, EPA recommends that 

you include your name, mailing 

address, and an e-mail address or other 

details for contacting you. Also include 

these contact details on the outside of 

any disk or CD ROM you submit and in 

any cover letter accompanying the disk 

or CD ROM. This ensures that you can 

be identified as the person submitting 

the information and allows EPA to 

contact you in case the Agency cannot 

read what you submit due to technical 

difficulties or needs to clarify issues 

raised by what you submit. If EPA 

cannot read what you submit due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, this situation may 

delay or prevent the Agency’s 

consideration of the information. 

To access EPA’s electronic public 

docket from the EPA Internet Home 

Page, select ‘‘Information Sources,’’

‘‘Dockets,’’ and ‘‘EPA Dockets.’’ Once in 

the system, select ‘‘search,’’ and then 

key in Docket ID No. ORD–2004–0003. 

The system is an ‘‘anonymous access’’

system, which means EPA will not 

know your identity, e-mail address or 

other contact details unless you provide 

it with the information you submit. 

Information may be sent by electronic 

mail (e-mail) to ORD.Docket@epa.gov,

Attention Docket ID No. ORD–2004–

0003. In contrast to EPA’s electronic 

public docket, EPA’s e-mail system is 

not an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system. If 

you send an e-mail directly to the 

docket without going through EPA’s 

electronic public docket, EPA’s e-mail 

system automatically captures your email address, and it becomes part of the 

information in the official public docket 

and is made available in EPA’s 

electronic public docket. 

You may submit information on a 

disk or CD ROM that you mail to the 

OEI Docket mailing address. Files will 

be accepted in WordPerfect, Word or 

ASCII file format. Avoid the use of 

special characters and any form of 

encryption. 

If you provide information in writing, 

please submit one unbound original, 

with pages numbered consecutively, 

and three copies. For attachments, 

provide an index, number pages 

consecutively with the main text, and 

submit an unbound original and three
