On April 10, in a move that is almost certain to result in legal challenges from states, utilities, and other entities charged with its implementation, EPA released its much-anticipated Final Rule limiting concentrations of certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or so-called “forever chemicals,” in public drinking water.

On March 27, 2024, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) concluded its review of EPA’s final rule establishing a national drinking water regulation to limit concentrations of certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or “forever chemicals,” in drinking water. When issued, this rule will be the first time the federal government has set enforceable standards for any PFAS in drinking water. OMB reviews final rules before they are published to the public.
