[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Community Drinking Water Assistance 
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) drinking water standards proposed and in effect as of 
        the date of enactment of this Act will place a large financial 
        burden on many public water systems, especially those public 
        water systems in rural communities serving small populations;
            (2) the limited scientific, technical, and professional 
        resources available in small communities complicate the 
        implementation of regulatory requirements;
            (3) small communities often cannot afford to meet water 
        quality standards because of the expenses associated with 
        upgrading public water systems and training personnel to 
        operate and maintain the public water systems;
            (4) small communities do not have a tax base for dealing 
        with the costs of upgrading their public water systems;
            (5) small communities face high per capita costs in 
        improving drinking water quality;
            (6) small communities would greatly benefit from a grant 
        program designed to provide funding for water quality projects;
            (7) as of the date of enactment of this Act, there is no 
        Federal program in effect that adequately meets the needs of 
        small, primarily rural communities with respect to public water 
        systems; and
            (8) since new, more protective arsenic drinking water 
        standards proposed by the Clinton and Bush administrations, 
        respectively, are expected to be implemented in 2006, the grant 
        program established by the amendment made by this Act should be 
        implemented in a manner that ensures that the implementation of 
        those new standards is not delayed.

    ``There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this part 
$1,900,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2006 through 2011.''.
[A]:
Community Drinking Water Assistance Act - Amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a program of grants for small public water systems (those serving populations of not more than 200,000 or located in specified communities) in disadvantaged communities, or in those that may become disadvantaged as a result of compliance with drinking water standards, for use in carrying out projects and activities to comply with such standards. Requires the Administrator to: (1) give priority in awarding grants based on, first, the financial need of the community and, second, the per capita cost of the community's compliance; and (2) ensure that not less than 20 percent of grant funds are used for activities in communities with populations of less than 50,000.

Sets forth the process for applications. Limits the Federal share of costs for grant-funded activities to 90 percent of the total.

Provides temporary relief from enforcement of drinking water standards for eligible entities during and after the grant application process. Delays implementation or enforcement by the Administrator of an arsenic standard in any State until the earlier of January 1, 2006, or the date on which the Administrator certifies that the program has been implemented in that State and the State has made substantial progress in drinking water standards compliance.
