World Trade Center Health Program; Petitions 032, 033, and 068-Peripheral Neuropathy; Finding of Insufficient Evidence

Abstract

The Administrator of the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program has received three petitions (Petitions 032, 033, and 068) to add "peripheral neuropathy" 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 peripheral neuropathy. 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.
