The Deadline is Nov. 20th to submit comments. After that deadline date, comments will have to wait until the next revision of the standard by the American Water Works Association.

On page viii, the draft document states:
“In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct and indirect drinking water additives… In April 1990, USEPA formally withdrew its list of acceptable drinking water additives, and regulatory oversight of direct and indirect drinking water additives passed to the process developed by the consortium developed under the leadership of NSF.”
