Download as PDF 70842 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 236 / Monday, December 13, 2021 / Notices WTCHP HIPAA Authorization for Deceased Individuals, 30 applicants will submit a WTCHP General HIPAA Authorization to Third Parties form, and 15 applicants or members will submit a Designated Representative Revocation Form annually. These forms will take no longer than 0.25 hours to complete. The total burden estimate for the WTCHP HIPAA Authorization for Deceased Individuals form and the WTCHP General HIPAA Authorization to Third Parties form is eight hours. The total burden estimate for the Designated Representative Revocation Form is four hours. The Program also finds it necessary to add a Member Satisfaction Survey. This survey is for WTC Health Program members and asks for feedback about their satisfaction in the Program, at their clinic, and how they would like to receive Program communications. The survey should take no longer than 0.5 hours to complete for a burden estimate of 3,300 burden hours. The Petition for the addition of a new WTC-Related Health Condition for Coverage was previously approved in 2018. The burden hours for the Petition form decreased to 35 as the Program has received less petitions than anticipated in 2018. The Zadroga Act identified a list of health conditions for which individuals who are enrolled in the WTC Health Program may be monitored or treated [Title XXXIII, § 3312(a)(3)]; those conditions are reiterated and expanded in the associated WTC Health Program regulations at 42 CFR 88.15. Under the regulations, interested parties may submit a petition to request that a new health condition be added to the list of conditions specified in § 88.15. The forms should take no longer than one hour to complete for a burden estimate of 35 burden hours. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 12,882 burden hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Form name FDNY Responder ...........................
