Assistance, Quality, and Affordability Act of 2021 This bill provides support for drinking water infrastructure and requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to address the safety and affordability of drinking water. Specifically, the bill reauthorizes and establishes several programs for drinking water infrastructure. For example, it reauthorizes through FY2031 the drinking water state revolving fund. In addition, the bill revises requirements concerning the safety of drinking water, including by requiring the EPA to promulgate national primary drinking water regulations for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (commonly known as PFAS), microcystin toxin, and 1,4–dioxane. PFAS are man-made and may have adverse human health effects. A variety of products contain the compounds, such as nonstick cookware or weatherproof clothing. Microcystin is a toxin that is produced by certain algae. The solvent known as 1,4–dioxane may also have adverse human health effects. It is used in variety of products, such as adhesives, sealants, and printing inks. The EPA must also implement a residential emergency relief program that assists customers of public water systems with paying drinking water bill. Under the program, the EPA must provide payments to public water systems to reimburse them for forgiving their customers' debts or fees for services provided since March 1, 2020, in order to help the customers retain, reconnect, or restore water services. Public water systems that receive payments may not disconnect or interrupt their customer's service because of such debt or fees. Finally, the bill directs the Government Accountability Office to report on issues relating to the potential for consolidation of certain distressed and small public water systems.

NACD advocated against the reinstatement of the Superfund tax in H.R.3684 - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act as a pay-for. The Superfund Tax on chemicals is being sold as a fee on chemicals, but it is really a new tax on consumers. The 42 chemicals identified for taxation are the building blocks for a limitless number of goods, including steel, plastics, wood products, copper, cement, glass, pesticides, fungicides, pharmaceuticals, rubber, paint and coatings, batteries, solar panels, soap and detergents, ceramics, textiles, semiconductors, water treatment, light bulbs, refrigerants, dental fillings, fireworks and consumer electronics. The Superfund Tax on chemicals will also impede the goals of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework by making the components of infrastructure more expensive-including clean energy building blocks such as renewable energy, advanced coatings, energy efficiency solutions and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. The Superfund Tax on chemicals will also make U.S. manufacturers less competitive. Additionally, NACD advocated against the inclusion of broad environmental programs that would be duplicative to current federal agencies' efforts. Legislation surrounding the regulation of PFAS chemicals. Including that the federal government should implement a consistent approach for assessing and regulating specific PFAS with clear timelines, regulations should be based on sound science, specific PFAS compounds should be regulated based on risk to protect human health and the environment, PFAS chemistries should be regulated independently - not as a single group, and Congress should provide regulatory agencies with the proper oversight and funding necessary to evaluate and address specific priority PFAS. Bills introduced in the 117th Congress and opposed to include: S. 1121 - PFAS Registry Act introduced by Senator Shaheen (D-NH), H.R. 3291 - introduced by Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY), S. 916/H.R. 1352 - Water Affordability, Transparency, Equity, and Reliability Act of 2021 introduced by Sen. Sanders (I-VT) in the US Senate and Rep.
