EPA final rule changes TSCA §8(a)(7) PFAS reporting submission-period start trigger (now 60 days after effective date of forthcoming revision)

EPA finalized an administrative change to the TSCA Section 8(a)(7) PFAS reporting rule that moves the start of the PFAS one-time reporting submission period from a fixed date (previously communicated as April 13, 2026) to a rolling trigger: 60 days after the effective date of EPA’s forthcoming revision to the PFAS reporting rule. Compliance teams should update reporting project plans and internal deadlines to track the effective date of the forthcoming revision, since the reporting window start is no longer anchored to a calendar date.
