H.R. 3900 modifies the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to require that cost considerations for pollution control technology focus specifically on commercially available technology already operating in the United States. The bill targets the process used to set "effluent limitation guidelines," which are federal standards that determine how much pollution industrial facilities can legally discharge into waterways. By narrowing the focus to existing, commercially available U.S. technology rather than experimental or theoretical options, the legislation aims to make pollution control standards more cost-realistic for industries. The bill was introduced in June 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. No specific funding or implementation timeline is specified in the legislation.
