voluntary. 

For the Web-based questionnaire, the 

estimated burden per response is about 

60 minutes (1 hour). This estimate of 

burden is an average and takes into 

account that the length of the 

questionnaire for each respondent will 

vary slightly due to the skip patterns 

that may occur with certain responses, 

variations in the reading speed of 

respondents, and variations in the time 

required to collect the information 

needed to complete the questionnaire. 

The estimated annualized burden of 

this data collection is 60 hours for 

respondents. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time.

Proposed Project 

World Trade Center Health Program 

Petition for the Addition of a New WTCRelated Health Condition for Coverage 

under the World Trade Center (WTC) 

Health Program (OMB No. 0920–0929, 

expires 4/30/2015)—Revision—National 

Institute for Occupational Safety and 

Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Title I of the James Zadroga 9/11 

Health and Compensation Act of 2010 

(Pub. L. 111–347), amended the Public 

Health Service Act (PHS Act) to add 

Title XXXIII establishing the WTC 

Health Program within the Department 

of Health and Human Services (HHS). 

The WTC Health Program provides 

medical monitoring and treatment 

benefits to eligible firefighters and 

related personnel, law enforcement 

officers, and rescue, recovery, and 

cleanup workers who responded to the 

September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in 

New York City, at the Pentagon, and in 

Shanksville, Pennsylvania (responders), 

and to eligible persons who were 

present in the dust or dust cloud on 

September 11, 2001 or who worked, 

resided, or attended school, childcare, 

or adult daycare in the New York City 

disaster area (survivors). PHS Act 

§ 3312(a)(3) identifies a list of health 

conditions for which individuals who 

are enrolled in the WTC Health Program 

may be monitored or treated. PHS Act 

§ 3312(a)(6)(B) specifies that interested 

parties may petition the Administrator 

of the WTC Health Program to request 

that a new health condition be added to 

the List of WTC-Related Health 

Conditions in 42 CFR 88.1. 

To aid the petitioner, the WTC Health 

Program provides a petition form to be 

completed and then sent to the 

Administrator for review. However, the 

petitioner is not required to use the 

form, and may submit a petition in a 

different format, provided it contains all 

of the data elements requested on the 

form. Data elements include the 

interested party’s name, contact 

information, signature, and a statement 

about the medical basis for the 

relationship/association between the 

9/11 exposure and the proposed health 

condition, which the Administrator of 

the WTC Health Program will use to 

determine whether to propose a rule to 

add the condition, to not to add the 

condition, or to seek a recommendation

3240 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 14 / Thursday, January 22, 2015 / Notices 

from the Scientific/Technical Advisory 

Committee (STAC). 

The petition form is amended slightly 

to reflect a WTC Health Program policy 

change. The current form asks 

respondents to offer reference to ‘‘a 

peer-reviewed, published, 

epidemiologic study.’’ The revised form 

will ask respondents to reference ‘‘peerreviewed, published, epidemiologic 

and/or direct observational studies.’’ 

The submission of a petition is purely 

voluntary, and is not required or 

otherwise compelled by NIOSH or the 

WTC Health Program. NIOSH expects to 

receive no more than 20 submissions 

annually. 

Petitioners include prospective and 

enrolled WTC responders, screeningeligible survivors, certified-eligible 

survivors, or members of groups who 

advocate on behalf of responders or 

survivors, such as physicians. We 

estimate that an individual spends an 

average of 40 hours gathering 

information to substantiate a request to 

add a health condition and assembling 

the petition. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time. The total estimated 

annualized burden hours are 800.
