Abstract: This submission is to account for non-substantive changes to 0920-0929 (World Trade Center Health Program Petition for the Addition of a New WTC-Related Health Condition for Coverage under the World Trade Center Health Program, expiration 4/30/2015). The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 (the Act) established the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program. The law requires the WTC Health Program to provide monitoring and treatment benefits to responders and survivors who are determined to be eligible for the Program. The Act included a list of WTC-related health conditions (42 CFR § 88.1) which are covered for treatment by the Program. The Act also allows any interested party to petition the WTC Program Administrator to add a condition to the list. The Program has created a form that has been approved by OMB (0920-0929) to help an individual(s) provide the necessary information to request the Program Administrator to add a condition.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: The revised form improves clarity for the petitioner and to accurately reflect the current list of covered conditions. The following changes will be made: In the first sentence of the General Instructions section, the current petition refers people to page 5 for a full list of covered conditions. Since that list has changed over time we are going to remove that sentence and page 5 of the listed conditions and refer people to the website for the full and current list of covered conditions. This will prevent any future changes to the petition form as the current list is always updated on the website. The language was modified in section C1 to make it clearer what information needs to be provided by the petitioner in support of the petition. Minor grammatical changes have been made to throughout the form for clarity. No additional burden will be added to the respondents as this collection is already accounted for in the current OMB package (0920-0929). The respondent does not complete any additional paperwork as the edits are minor changes to current language on the applications.
