Description
Maine DEP has established a notification fee of $1,500 per notification for Currently Unavoidable Use (CUU) designated products. This fee structure, revised from an earlier $5,000 proposal, applies to manufacturers required to submit PFAS Notification Forms for products covered under approved CUU determinations. The fee rate encourages manufacturers to group products using the same type of PFAS together in one notification submission.
