Previous reviews have summarized the regulations promulgated for volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), fluoride, surface water treatment , total coliform bacteria, lead and copper, and Phase 2 and Phase 5 synthetic organic contaminants (SOCs) and inorganic contaminant (IOCs). Current development related to these rules and to anticipated new rules are reviewed in this article. The status and schedule of development of all current and anticipated regulations are summarized. Dates for anticipated actions are based on the US Environmental Protection Agency's published regulatory agenda and on information released by the agency through December 1993; these dates can change as priorities change within the agency. Tables listing the contaminants regulated in the various rules and summary listing of current USEPA drinking water numerical standards and best available technology for regulated contaminants were presented in the February 1993 article. Because these tables are essentially unchanged, they are not included here, and the reader is referred to that article. 62 refs., 3 tabs.
