    (b) Enforcement.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (referred to in 
this subsection as the ``Administrator'') 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 subparagraph (A) or (F) of paragraph (16) of section 1412(b) of 
the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300g-1(b)) earlier than the date 
that is 5 years after the date on which the Administrator promulgates 
the national primary drinking water regulation.
