Abstract: The WTC Health Program is a limited healthcare program established by the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010. The goal of the Program is to provide monitoring and treatment to responders of the 9/11 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and Shanksville, PA, as well as survivors in the New York City Area. The data collected contained within this OMB package are intended solely for determining eligibility and treatment. This Emergency ICR is submitted for the 0920-0891 WTCHP package so that data collection activities can begin immediately using a number of forms that permit enrollment of Pentagon/Shanksville, PA responders to the Program in response to an Interim Final Rule (IFR) that will be published September 11, 2024.

Emergency Justfication: On September 11, 2024, CDC plans to publish an Interim Final Rule that expands eligibility for the World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP) to Pentagon and Shanksville responders. Failure to expedite enrollment processing could significantly harm public health, leaving these eligible individuals waiting for vital healthcare services. Emergency processing is imperative to prevent enrollment delays and potential adverse health outcomes. Therefore, expedited processing is not only necessary but crucial for ensuring timely access to health benefits for these responders. Submission of a full/standard Revision ICR will follow.
