EPA Delays TSCA PFAS Reporting Deadlines

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) just issued a direct final rule amending reporting deadlines for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

As described in our prior client alert, EPA finalized a rule last fall that requires entities that manufacture (including import) or have manufactured PFAS in any year since January 1, 2011 to submit a one-time comprehensive report regarding PFAS uses, production volumes, byproducts, disposal, exposures, and environmental or health effects.

Since EPA is still developing its reporting application to collect this data, and it will not be fully functional by November 2024, EPA has bumped back the start of the data submission period from November 12, 2024 to July 11, 2025.

The data submission period now ends on January 11, 2026, except for article importers that are also considered small manufacturers. Their submission period will end on July 11, 2026.

EPA is not proposing any changes to the scope of reporting under TSCA.
