[Public Comment] Minnesota's Draft Rule Concept Summary for PFAS in products: Currently unavoidable use (CUU) rule
February 26, 2026
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is planning new rules governing how the MPCA determines currently unavoidable uses of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in products. The main purpose of this rulemaking is to establish criteria the MPCA will use to make decisions on which uses of intentionally added PFAS will qualify as currently unavoidable uses in products sold, offered for sale, or distributed for sale in Minnesota, as directed by Minn. Stat. § 116.943.
Your input helps the MPCA write effective rules. The MPCA is accepting feedback on draft rule concepts from Feb. 26-March 29, 2026 (4:30 p.m. CDT).
