{"abstract":"The Administrator of the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program has received several petitions (Petitions 029, 034, 035, and 062) to add \"hepatic steatosis\" or \"fatty liver disease\" to the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions. Upon reviewing the scientific and medical literature, including information provided by the petitioners, the Administrator has determined that there is insufficient evidence available to support taking further action at this time regarding hepatic steatosis. The Administrator also finds that insufficient evidence exists to request a recommendation of the WTC Health Program Scientific/Technical Advisory Committee, publish a proposed rule, or 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/2026/04/07/2026-06728.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"91 FR 17650","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 April 7, 2026.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["NIOSH Docket 094"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2026-06728","effective_on":null,"end_page":17654,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2026/04/07/2026-06728.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/04/07/2026-06728/world-trade-center-health-program-petitions-029-034-035-and-062-hepatic-steatosis-finding-of","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2026-06728?publication_date=2026-04-07","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2026-04-07/2026-06728/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":5,"page_views":{"count":18,"last_updated":"2026-04-07 08:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-04-07/pdf/2026-06728.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-06728.pdf?1775479514","publication_date":"2026-04-07","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2026/04/07/2026-06728.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2026-04-07T08:08:21Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":17650,"subtype":null,"title":"World Trade Center Health Program; Petitions 029, 034, 035, and 062-Hepatic Steatosis; Finding of Insufficient Evidence","toc_doc":"Petitions 029, 034, 035, and 062Hepatic Steatosis; Finding of Insufficient Evidence","toc_subject":"World Trade Center Health Program","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":91}
