EPA finalizes further delay to TSCA §8(a)(7) PFAS reporting period start date (triggered 60 days after effective date of forthcoming revision)

EPA finalized a change to the TSCA Section 8(a)(7) PFAS one-time reporting rule that moves the start of the reporting period from April 13, 2026 to a new trigger: the reporting period will begin 60 days after the effective date of EPA’s forthcoming revision to the PFAS 8(a)(7) rule. Compliance teams should track the effective date of the forthcoming revision because it will start the 60‑day clock for reporting-period commencement and affects internal data-gathering and submission planning for entities that manufactured/imported PFAS during the covered years.
