World Trade Center Health Program; Petition 005-Acoustic Neuroma; Finding of Insufficient Evidence

Zusammenfassung

On September 2, 2014, the Administrator of the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program received a petition to add acoustic neuroma (Petition 005) to the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions (List). The Administrator has not found sufficient scientific evidence to conduct an analysis of whether to add acoustic neuroma to the List. Accordingly, 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.
