SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title I of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and
Compensation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-347, as amended by Pub. L. 114-
113, 116-59 and 117-328), added Title XXXIII to the Public Health
Service
[[Page 65688]]
(PHS) Act,\1\ establishing the WTC Health Program within the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS). Research conducted under the
Zadroga Act includes epidemiologic and other research studies on WTC-
related health conditions or emerging conditions among (1) WTC
responders, screening-eligible WTC survivors, and certified-eligible
WTC survivors under treatment; (2) individuals who meet geographic and
exposure requirements for enrollment in the WTC Health Program but are
not enrolled; and (3) sampled populations outside the New York City
disaster area in Manhattan as far north as 14th Street and in Brooklyn,
along with control populations, to identify potential for long-term
adverse health effects in less exposed populations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Title XXXIII of the PHS Act is codified at 42 U.S.C. 300mm
to 300mm-62. Those portions of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and
Compensation Act of 2010 found in Titles II and III of Public Law
111-347 do not pertain to the WTC Health Program and are codified
elsewhere.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Zadroga Act also requires that the WTC Health Program establish
a research program addressing the following topics:
<bullet> Physical and mental health conditions that may be related
to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks;
<bullet> Diagnosing WTC-related health conditions for which there
has been diagnostic uncertainty; and
<bullet> Treating WTC-related health conditions for which there has
been treatment uncertainty.
