" The move bears on one of the most politically delicate decisions of the Bush administration: a decision to set aside, at least for now, a Clinton- era rule that would have reduced the arsenic standard by 80 percent. An initial plan had called for a new standard to be proposed this summer, but the agency said today that it wanted more time to allow the National Academy of Sciences to review new studies on arsenic's health effects. A spokesman for the academy said the review would take about four months."
