After many hours of regulatory negotiation (reg neg), the advisory committee negotiating the D‐DBP Rule agreed to develop three new rules: the D‐DBP (Disinfection‐Disinfection Byproducts) Rule, the Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (ESWTR), and the Information Collection Rule to support the other two rules. This brief article gives a broad outline of each of the rules and where they stand in development.

A table gives a detailed schedule of the D‐DBP and ESWTR rulemaking through December 1994.
