{"abstract":"On November 25, 2016, the Administrator of the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program received a petition (Petition 015) to add neuropathy to the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions (List). Upon reviewing the scientific and medical literature, including information provided by the petitioner, the Administrator has determined that the available evidence does not have the potential to provide a basis for a decision on whether to add neuropathy to the List. The Administrator finds that insufficient evidence exists to request a recommendation of the WTC Health Program Scientific/Technical Advisory Committee (STAC), to publish a proposed rule, or to publish a determination not to publish a proposed rule.","action":"Denial of petition for addition of a health condition.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"},{"raw_name":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention","name":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention","id":44,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/centers-for-disease-control-and-prevention","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/44","parent_id":221,"slug":"centers-for-disease-control-and-prevention"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2017/05/11/2017-09551.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"82 FR 22004","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The Administrator of the WTC Health Program is denying this petition for the addition of a health condition as of May 11, 2017.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["NIOSH Docket 094"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2017-09551","effective_on":null,"end_page":22006,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2017/05/11/2017-09551.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/05/11/2017-09551/world-trade-center-health-program-petition-015-neuropathy-finding-of-insufficient-evidence","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2017-09551?publication_date=2017-05-11","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2017-05-11/2017-09551/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":789,"last_updated":"2026-07-28 02:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-05-11/pdf/2017-09551.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2017-09551.pdf?1494420351","publication_date":"2017-05-11","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2017/05/11/2017-09551.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2017-05-31T06:00:21Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":22004,"subtype":null,"title":"World Trade Center Health Program; Petition 015-Neuropathy; Finding of Insufficient Evidence","toc_doc":"Petition 015: Neuropathy; Finding of Insufficient Evidence","toc_subject":"World Trade Center Health Program:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":82}
