This section extends the responder monitoring and treatment rules to certified-eligible WTC survivors. It also lists the health conditions covered for survivors, similar to the responder list. The list covers lung and breathing problems, mental health conditions, and any conditions added later.

(a) In general: Except as limited by subsection (b), sections 300mm–21 and 300mm–22 — the rules for identifying responders and treating their conditions — apply the same way to followup monitoring and treatment for certified-eligible WTC survivors as they do for enrolled WTC responders. (b) List of WTC-related health conditions for survivors: (1) Aerodigestive disorders — interstitial lung diseases; chronic respiratory disorder from fumes or vapors; asthma; reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS); WTC-worsened chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); chronic cough syndrome; upper airway hyperreactivity; chronic rhinosinusitis; chronic nasopharyngitis; chronic laryngitis; gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD); and sleep apnea made worse by any of these. (2) Mental health conditions — PTSD, major depressive disorder, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, unspecified anxiety disorder, unspecified depression, acute stress disorder, dysthymic disorder, adjustment disorder, and substance abuse. (3) Additional conditions — any cancer or other condition added to the responder list in section 300mm–22(a)(3) under that section's add-a-condition process also applies here to survivors.
