The Safe Drinking Water Act Authorization of 1979 Public Law 96-63 was an act of Congress that extended appropriations for the Safe Drinking Water Act SDWA for three fiscal years. It provided federal funding lines for EPA research technical assistance state program grants and underground water protection. Enacted on September 6 1979 Public Law 96-63 updated the legislative provisions of the original SDWA passed in 1974 to keep federal water security and state grant programs funded. The 1979 legislation amended the Public Health Service Act to authorize the following specific annual budget allocations:State Grants for Public Water System Supervision: Authorized $29450000 FY 1980 $32000000 FY 1981 and $34000000 FY 1982. State Underground Water Source Protection: Authorized $7795000 FY 1980 $18000000 FY 1981 and $21000000 FY 1982. By extending the authorization Congress allowed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency EPA to continuously enforce national health-based standards to protect tap water. It also maintained a critical framework to prevent both naturally-occurring and man-made contaminants from polluting public drinking water supplies. The Safe Drinking Water Act SDWA is the primary federal law that ensures the quality of public drinking water in the U.S. Originally passed in 1974 the law was significantly amended in 1996 to direct the EPA to set science-based legally enforceable standards for over 90 contaminants in public water systems. The EPA is authorized to establish National Primary Drinking Water Regulations NPDWRs to protect against both naturally occurring and man-made contaminants. While the EPA sets the baseline the SDWA allows states to assume primary enforcement responsibility primacy as long as their state standards are at least as stringent as the federal requirements. The Act authorizes EPA-administered or state-run programs to regulate the injection of fluids underground to prevent contamination of underground sources of drinking water. The Act authorizes funding mechanisms-such as the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund DWSRF-to assist public water systems in financing the costs of infrastructure improvements needed to comply with SDWA regulations. The original Act is Public Law 93-523 enacted December 16 1974. U.S. Government Printing Office paperback

To Provide Compliance With The National Maximum Speed Limit; Hearing before the Subcommittee on Transportation of the Committee on Environment and Public Works United States Senate Ninety-sixth Congress Second Session on s. 1337 A Bill to Amend Title 23 of the United States Code to Provide Greater Compliance with the National Maximum Speed Limit June 3 1980

198091170Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1980. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. iii 1 141 7 pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Tabular Data. Serial NO. 96-H50 Front cover and several early pages creased at lower front corner. The National Maximum Speed Law NMSL established in 1974 55 mph and modified in 1987/1988 65 mph was repealed in 1995 returning speed limit authority to states. The original law enforced compliance by withholding federal highway funds which was heavily debated with studies showing it saved 2000–4000 lives annually. Signed by President Nixon in 1974 Public Law 93-239 in response to the 1973 oil crisis to conserve fuel not primarily for safety. The federal government forced compliance by threatening to withhold federal-aid highway funding from states that did not adhere to the 55 mph limit. Congress passed the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 signed by President Clinton on December 8 1995 which formally repealed the National Maximum Speed Limit returning control to states. Current debates often focus on "safety-conscious" planning rather than national caps with some current legislation such as the DRIVE Act aiming to prevent federal mandates for speed-limiting technology on commercial trucks. Historically Senate hearings and committees often focused on the balance between state autonomy fuel conservation and safety statistics e.g. studies on the 55 mph limit reducing fatalities. The 1974 National Maximum Speed Limit NMSL of 55 mph was enacted to conserve fuel during the oil embargo and reduce traffic fatalities. Congress forced state compliance by threatening to withhold federal highway funds. States monitored compliance using sensors and enforcement with the NMSL repealed in 1995. This law was enacted to conserve fuel and improve safety with the 55-mph limit estimated to have saved thousands of lives. The Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act of 1974 mandated a 55 mph limit withholding federal-aid highway funds from states that did not comply. The Federal Highway Administration FHwA monitored compliance requiring states to submit data on speed enforcement. States used marked patrol cars near monitoring sensors to slow traffic and ensure reported speeds met federal requirements. The NMSL was repealed in 1995 returning authority to set speed limits to individual states. Compliance often met resistance particularly in Western states and enforcement was sometimes criticized as ineffective according to the Hoover Institution and The Heritage Foundation.
