Mr. Chair, to close, I think it is critical that we give EPA the ability to set standards that are reasonable for PFAS that would protect public health. In passing this amendment, we can ensure that our government can meet its most basic guaranty: that everyone--servicemembers, their families, and civilians, alike--can have confidence that the water we drink, the natural environment all around us, is clean and safe. This amendment will ensure EPA sets standards for these toxic pollutants to protect public health and the safety of all Americans. It is beyond time for us and Congress to act to take serious action on PFAS, and I urge adoption of this amendment. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New Hampshire (Mr. Pappas). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 49 Offered by Ms. Lee of California The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 49 printed in part B of House Report 116-143.
