The EPA is moving towards establishing a drinking water standard
for PFOA and PFOS, and has stated that it is considering avenues
for regulating additional groups of PFAS under the Safe Drinking
Water Act (SDWA) as well. On February 22, 2021, the EPA announced two actions under SDWA to address
PFAS.
First, the agency reissued the final regulatory determination to
implement a National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) for
PFOS and PFOA (the "Determination"). This
Determination is a continuation of an intended action under the
Trump administration, but indicates the Biden administration
intends to continue to move forward. The Determination also
states that the EPA is considering the regulation of additional
PFAS chemicals.
