Satisfying the informational requirements for a petition does not mean the class will be added to the Cohort. It means the petition will receive a full evaluation by NIOSH, the Board, and HHS, as described under §§ 83.13 through 83.16 . The role of the petitioner(s) is to identify classes of employees that should be considered for addition to the Cohort.
