Eligibility Expanded for Pentagon/Shanksville Responders
The World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program application was revised to reflect the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (NDAA) expansion. The revised Pentagon/Shanksville enrollment form adds an eligibility question for active duty, retired, or reserve military, Department of Defense civilian employees, and certain DOD contractors who responded to the Pentagon or Shanksville sites, and clarifies responders must have participated in rescue, recovery, demolition, debris cleanup, or related services to be eligible.
New Web Portal for Youth Research Cohort
NIOSH added a secure, public-facing web-based Youth Research Cohort (YRC) Registration portal that will let future cohort members self-enroll and engage with the YRC while protecting privacy under HIPAA. The portal is expected to support 6,000 registrations with an average respondent time of 30 minutes each.
Respondent Time Burden Increased (No Monetary Cost)
CDC requests approval for a revision that raises total annualized respondent burden hours from 12,882 to 14,332 (an increase of 1,450 hours). The notice states there is no cost to respondents other than their time.
