On October 11, 2023, EPA finalized reporting and recordkeeping requirements for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). In the final rule, EPA required any person that manufactures or has manufactured PFAS or PFAS-containing articles in any year since January 1, 2011, to electronically report information regarding PFAS uses, production volumes, disposal, exposures, and hazards.
In November 2025, EPA proposed changes to the scope of the TSCA 8(a)(7) PFAS reporting regulations. These proposed changes incorporate exemptions and modifications that will reduce unnecessary or potentially duplicative reporting requirements for manufacturers.
The proposed exemptions apply to PFAS manufactured (including imported) in mixtures or products at concentrations 0.1% or lower; imported articles, certain byproducts, impurities, research and development chemicals, and non-isolated intermediates.
EPA will accept comments on the proposed changes in docket #EPA-HQ-OPPT-2020-0549 on www.regulations.gov through Dec. 29.
