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

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,

will ask respondents to reference ‘‘peerreviewed, published, epidemiologic
and/or direct observational studies.’’

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.

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
