The proposed collection will collect enrollment and appeals data as required by the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 (Zadroga Act). The Zadroga Act which was passed on December 22, 2010 establishes a federal program to support health monitoring and treatment for emergency responders; recovery and cleanup workers; and residents, building occupants, and area workers in New York City who were directly impacted and adversely affected by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. All responders to the New York City attack who will be newly seeking medical monitoring and treatment and survivors of the attack who were not covered by the Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program (MMTP) prior to January 2, 2011, may apply to obtain coverage under the new WTC Health Program. In order to begin the determination eligibility process, an enrollment form must be completed. There are three separate enrollment forms for each population of responders (FDNY responders, non-FDNY responders, and Survivors). The enrollment form will collect general contact information as well as information regarding the WTC disaster area experience. In order to reduce the burden on the respondents and survivors, the WTC Health program will make the form available to be downloaded from the internet or obtained in hard copy and submitted by mail.
