This section lets the EPA add substances to a food-safety testing program. It covers substances beyond those already listed under section 346a(p)(3)(B) of title 21. The EPA can screen any other substance likely found in drinking water if many people may be exposed.

This section adds to the estrogenic substances screening program set up under section 346a(p) of title 21 (the food safety law). That program already tests certain substances listed in section 346a(p)(3)(B) of title 21. This section lets the EPA Administrator add other substances to that same testing program — using the same procedures in section 346a(p) — but only substances that might turn up in sources of drinking water, and only if the Administrator decides a substantial number of people could be exposed to them.
