EPA finalizes change delaying the start of TSCA PFAS 8(a)(7) reporting period until 60 days after effective date of forthcoming revision

EPA finalized an update to the TSCA Section 8(a)(7) PFAS data reporting rule timeline, moving the reporting period start from April 13, 2026 to 60 days after the effective date of a forthcoming revision to the PFAS 8(a)(7) rule. This affects entities that manufactured (including imported) PFAS in any year 2011–2022 by delaying when reporting obligations commence, and requires compliance teams to monitor the effective date of the forthcoming revision to determine the new start date.
