Modification to the Start of the Submission Period for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Reporting and Recordkeeping Under TSCA 8(a)(7)
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to revise the start of the reporting period for the Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Reporting and Recordkeeping Rule (PFAS Reporting Rule). Pursuant to this action, the submission period for the PFAS Reporting Rule will begin on 31 January 2027, or 60 days following the effective date of a forthcoming final rule on the substantive requirements of the PFAS Reporting Rule, whichever is earlier. This final rule is effective on 13 April 2026. 91 Federal Register (FR) 18786, 13 April 2026; 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 705: This final rule and the proposed rule notified as G/TBT/N/USA/1742/Rev.2 are identified by Docket Number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2020-0549. The Docket Folder is available on Regulations.gov at and provides access to primary and supporting documents as well as comments received. Documents are also accessible from Regulations.gov by searching the Docket Number.
Proposed rule - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is proposing amendments to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulation for reporting and recordkeeping requirements for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). As promulgated in October 2023 (final rule notified as G/TBT/N/USA/1742/Add.3), the regulation requires manufacturers (including importers) of PFAS in any year between 2011-2022 to report certain data to EPA related to exposure and environmental and health effects. EPA is proposing to incorporate certain exemptions and other modifications to the scope of the reporting regulation. These exemptions would maintain important reporting on PFAS, consistent with statutory requirements, while exempting reporting on activities about which manufacturers are least likely to know or reasonably ascertain.

Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Data Reporting and Recordkeeping Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); Change to Submission Period
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is amending the data submission period for the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) PFAS reporting rule by changing the start date for submissions and making corresponding changes to the end dates for the submission period, i.e., the data submission period begins on 13 April 2026, and ends on 13 October 2026, with an alternate end date for small manufacturers reporting exclusively as article importers of 13 April 2027. As promulgated in October 2023, the regulation requires manufacturers (including importers) of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in any year between 2011-2022 to report certain data to EPA related to exposure and environmental and health effects. This change is necessary because EPA requires more time to prepare the reporting application to collect this data. The Agency is separately considering reopening certain aspects of the rule to public comment. The delayed reporting date ensures that EPA has adequate time to consider the public comments and propose and finalize any modifications to the rule before the submission period begins. This interim final rule is effective on 13 May 2025. Comments must be received on or before 12 June 2025. 90 Federal Register (FR) 20236, 13 May 2025; 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 705: This action and previous actions notified under the symbol G/TBT/N/USA/1742 are identified by Docket Number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2020-0549.

Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Data Reporting and Recordkeeping Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); Change to Submission Period and Technical Correction
Proposed rule; change to submission period and technical correction - The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is proposing to amend the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulation with reporting and recordkeeping requirements for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that was finalized on 11 October 2023. The final rule (notified as G/TBT/N/USA/1742/Add.3) requires manufacturers (including importers) of PFAS in any year between 2011-2022 to report certain information to EPA beginning 12 November 2024. EPA is proposing a one-time modification of the data submission period and a technical correction to amend a typographical error in the regulatory text. EPA is not proposing any changes to the scope of reporting under TSCA. EPA has concluded that a change to the submission period is necessary and in the public interest as the reporting application being developed to collect this data will not be fully functional by November 2024. The proposed revision of the submission period would facilitate compliance with the rule and help ensure that the collection includes accurate data on manufactured PFAS in the United States. EPA thus believes the proposed amendments are necessary and does not expect to receive any adverse comments. Therefore, in addition to this notice of proposed rulemaking, in the 'Rules and Regulations' section of this issue of the Federal Register, EPA is promulgating the submission period modification and technical correction as a…

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is taking direct final action to amend the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulation with reporting and recordkeeping requirements for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). As promulgated in October 2023, the regulation requires manufacturers (including importers) of PFAS in any year between 2011-2022 to report certain data to EPA related to exposure and environmental and health effects. EPA is making a one-time modification to change the beginning of the data submission period from 12 November 2024, to 11 July 2025, with a corresponding change to the end of the submission period. EPA is also making a technical correction to address an error in the regulatory text. There are no other changes to the reporting and recordkeeping requirements in the existing rule under TSCA. This rule is effective 4 November 2024 without further notice. However, if EPA receives adverse comment by 7 October 2024, the Agency will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this direct final rule will not take effect. 89 Federal Register (FR) 72336, 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 705: This action and previous actions notified under the symbol G/TBT/N/USA/1742 are identified by Docket Number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2020-0549.

TITLE: TSCA Section 8(a)(7) Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances; Extension of Comment Period AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period SUMMARY: EPA issued a proposed rule in the Federal Register of 28 June 2021, concerning reporting and recordkeeping requirements for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). This document extends the comment period for 31 days, from 27 August 2021 to 27 September 2021. An extension of the comment period was requested by some stakeholders to allow interested parties additional time to thoroughly review and analyze the proposed rule's scope and its supporting documents.

Thirty days from 27 August 2021, is 26 September 2021, which is a Sunday; therefore, EPA is extending the comment period to the following Monday, 27 September 2021.
