New - Onset Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and WTC - Related Acute Traumatic Injury

1 The term ‘‘WTC-related’’ was not included in the proposed definition of acute traumatic injury in the notice of proposed rulemaking, 80 FR 54746 (Sept. 11, 2015), but has been added in the final rule to clarify specific usage in the WTC Health Program and better parallel ‘‘WTC-related musculoskeletal disorder’’ on the List. The Administrator finds that revising the term results in no substantive change from the proposed rule.
