    Sec. 428. The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, 
pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act, shall immediately put into 
effect a new national primary drinking water regulation for arsenic 
that--
            (1) establishes a standard for arsenic at a level providing 
        for the protection of the population in general, fully taking 
        into account those at greater risk, such as infants, children, 
        pregnant women, the elderly and those with a history of serious 
        illness; and
            (2) lifts the suspension on the effective date for the 
        community right to know requirements included in the national 
        primary drinking water regulation for arsenic published on 
     
1a14
   January 22, 2001, in the Federal Register (66 Fed. Reg. 6976).
     Sec. 429. Arsenic in Playground Equipment. (a)  Findings.--The 
Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Department of Health and Human Services has 
        determined that arsenic is a known carcinogen, and the 
        Environmental Protection Agency has classified chromated copper 
        arsenate (CCA), which is 22 percent arsenic, as a ``restricted 
        use chemical''.
            (2) CCA is often used as a preservative in pressure-treated 
        wood, and CCA-treated wood is widely used in constructing 
        playground equipment frequented by children.
            (3) In 2001, many communities in Florida and elsewhere have 
        temporarily or permanently closed playgrounds in response to 
        elevated levels of arsenic in soil surrounding CCA-treated wood 
        playground equipment.
            (4) The State of Florida recently announced that its own 
        wood-treatment plant would cease using arsenic as a 
        preservative.
            (5) PlayNation Play Systems, which manufactures playground 
        equipment, announced in June 2001 that it would no longer use 
        CCA as a preservative in its playground products.
            (6) In May 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency 
        announced that it would expedite its ongoing review of the 
        health risks facing children playing near CCA-treated wood 
        playground equipment, and produce its findings in June 2001. 
        The EPA later postponed the release of its risk assessment 
        until the end of the summer of 2001, and announced that its 
        risk assessment would be reviewed by a Scientific Advisory 
        Panel in October 2001.
            (7) The EPA also plans to expedite its risk assessment 
        regarding the re-registering of arsenic as a pesticide by 
        accelerating its release from 2003 to 2002.
            (8) The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which has the 
        authority to ban hazardous and dangerous products, announced in 
        June 2001 that it would consider a petition seeking the banning 
        of CCA-treated wood from all playground equipment.
            (9) Many viable alternatives to CCA-treated wood exist, 
        including cedar, plastic products, aluminum, and treated wood 
        without CCA. These products, alone or in combination, can fully 
        replace CCA-treated wood in playground equipment.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
potential health and safety risks to children playing on and around 
CCA-treated wood playground equipment is a matter of the highest 
priority, which demands immediate attention from the Congress, the 
Executive Branch, State and local governments, affected industries, and 
parents.
    (c) Report.--Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of 
this Act, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, in 
consultation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, shall submit 
a report to Congress which shall include--
            (1) the Environmental Protection Agency's most up-to-date 
        understanding of the potential health and safety risks to 
        children playing on and around CCA-treated wood playground 
        equipment;
            (2) the Environmental Protection Agency's current 
        recommendations to State and local governments about the 
        continued use of CCA-treated wood playground equipment; and
            (3) an assessment of whether consumers considering 
        purchases of CCA-treated wood playground equipment are 
        adequately informed concerning the health effects associated 
        with arsenic.
    Sec. 430. Experimental Program To Stimulate Competitive Research. 
From amounts available to the National Science Foundation under this 
Act, a total of $115,000,000 may be available to carry out the 
Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), which 
includes $25,000,000 in co-funding.
    Sec. 431. Sense of the Senate Concerning the State Water Pollution 
Control Revolving Fund. (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) funds from the drinking water State revolving fund 
        established under section 1452 of the Safe Drinking Water Act 
        (42 U.S.C. 300j-12) are allocated on the basis of an 
        infrastructure needs survey conducted by the Administrator of 
        the Environmental Protection Agency, in accordance with the 
        Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996 (Public Law 104-
        182);
            (2) the needs-based allocation of that fund was enacted by 
        Congress and is seen as a fair and reasonable basis for 
        allocation of funds under a revolving fund of this type;
            (3) the Administrator of the Environmental Protection 
        Agency also conducts a wastewater infrastructure needs survey 
        that should serve as the basis for allocation of the State 
        water pollution control revolving fund established under title 
        VI of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1381 
        et seq.);
            (4) the current allocation formula for the State water 
        pollution control revolving fund is so inequitable that it 
        results in some States receiving funding in an amount up to 7 
        times as much as States with approximately similar populations, 
        in terms of percentage of need met; and
            (5) the Senate has proven unwilling to address that 
        inequity in an appropriations bill, citing the necessity of 
        addressing new allocation formulas only in authorization bills.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate should be 
prepared to enact authorizing legislation (including an equitable, 
needs-based formula) for the State water pollution control revolving 
fund as soon as practicable after the Senate returns from recess in 
September.
    This Act may be cited as the ``Departments of Veterans Affairs and 
Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 2002''.

            Passed the House of Representatives July 30, 2001.

            Attest:
