SEC. 6. MONITORING AND DETECTION.

    (a) Monitoring Program for Unregulated Contaminants.--
            (1) In general.--The Administrator of the Environmental 
        Protection Agency shall include each substance described in 
        paragraph (2) in the fifth publication of the list of 
        unregulated contaminants to be monitored under section 
        1445(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 
        300j-4(a)(2)(B)(i)).
            (2) Substances described.--The substances referred to in 
        paragraph (1) are perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances 
        and classes of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances--
                    (A) for which a method to measure the level in 
                drinking water has been validated by the Administrator 
                of the Environmental Protection Agency; and
                    (B) that are not subject to a national primary 
                drinking water regulation under subparagraph (A) or 
                (G)(ii) of paragraph (16) of section 1412(b) of the 
                Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300g-1(b)).
            (3) Exception.--The perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl 
        substances and classes of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl 
        substances included in the list of unregulated contaminants to 
        be monitored under section 1445(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Safe 
        Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300j-4(a)(2)(B)(i)) under 
        paragraph (1) shall not count towards the limit of 30 
        unregulated contaminants to be monitored by public water 
        systems under that section.
    (b) Applicability.--
            (1) In general.--The Administrator of the Environmental 
        Protection Agency shall--
                    (A) require public water systems serving more than 
                10,000 persons to monitor for the substances described 
                in subsection (a)(2);
                    (B) subject to paragraph (2) and the availability 
                of appropriations, require public water systems serving 
                not fewer than 3,300 and not more than 10,000 persons 
                to monitor for the substances described in subsection 
                (a)(2); and
                    (C) subject to paragraph (2) and the availability 
                of appropriations, ensure that only a representative 
                sample of public water systems serving fewer than 3,300 
                persons are required to monitor for the substances 
                described in subsection (a)(2).
            (2) Requirement.--If the Administrator of the Environmental 
        Protection Agency determines that there is not sufficient 
        laboratory capacity to carry out the monitoring required under 
        subparagraphs (B) and (C) of paragraph (1), the Administrator 
        may waive the monitoring requirements in those subparagraphs.
            (3) Funds.--The Administrator of the Environmental 
        Protection Agency shall pay the reasonable cost of such testing 
        and laboratory analysis as is necessary to carry out the 
        monitoring required under subparagraphs (B) and (C) of 
        paragraph (1) using--
                    (A) funds made available pursuant to subsection 
                (a)(2)(H) or subsection (j)(5) of section 1445 of the 
                Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300j-4); or
                    (B) any other funds made available for that 
                purpose.

SEC. 7. ENFORCEMENT.

    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Administrator of 
the Environmental Protection Agency may not impose financial penalties 
for the violation of a national primary drinking water regulation (as 
defined in section 1401 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 
300f)) with respect to a perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substance or 
class of perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances for which a 
national primary drinking water regulation has been promulgated under 
clause (i) or (vi) of subparagraph (D) of section 1412(b)(2) of the 
Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300g-1(b)(2)) earlier than the date 
that is 5 years after the date on which the Administrator promulgates 
the national primary drinking water regulation.
