“the Senator from Idaho has a very important amendment to the bill. It is a very important addition. Essentially it asks EPA to identify the technologies that allow communities to meet the normal standard-setting process. I think it is a very good amendment. Currently in the bill we ask EPA to identify small system technologies, particularly for those communities that are unable to meet normal standard-setting requirements. This adds a new requirement to list those technologies where communities would be able to meet the normal standard-setting requirements. There are some other provisions of the amendment, too, which are very good. I thank the Senator for offering the amendment, and I urge its adoption.”
