Water Treatment Rules, Ground Water Disinfection Rule and Stage 2 
Disinfectants/Disinfectant Byproducts rule? (b) Do the research topic 
areas or projects underway or envisioned under the five year plan 
appear to adequately address the issues? Should any other research 
topic area be funded in lieu or in addition to those presented? (c) Has 
EPA assigned appropriate priorities to the research?
