{"abstract":"The Administrator of the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program received four petitions (Petitions 031, 036, 039, and 053) to add amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions (List). Upon reviewing the scientific and medical literature, including information provided by petitioners, the Administrator determined that there is insufficient evidence to support taking further action at this time regarding ALS. The Administrator also 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 petitions 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/2025/01/22/2025-00692.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"90 FR 7698","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The Administrator of the WTC Health Program is denying these petitions for the addition of a health condition as of January 22, 2025.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["NIOSH Docket 094"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2025-00692","effective_on":null,"end_page":7702,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2025/01/22/2025-00692.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/01/22/2025-00692/world-trade-center-health-program-petitions-031-036-039-and-053-amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2025-00692?publication_date=2025-01-22","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2025-01-22/2025-00692/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":5,"page_views":{"count":394,"last_updated":"2026-08-26 20:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-01-22/pdf/2025-00692.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-00692.pdf?1737130510","publication_date":"2025-01-22","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2025/01/22/2025-00692.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2025-01-22T09:07:12Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":7698,"subtype":null,"title":"World Trade Center Health Program; Petitions 031, 036, 039, and 053-Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis; Finding of Insufficient Evidence","toc_doc":"Petitions 031, 036, 039, and 053Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis; Finding of Insufficient Evidence","toc_subject":"World Trade Center Health Program","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":90}
