"Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing the start of the reporting period for a perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) reporting rule under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 8(a)(7). This action moves the start of the reporting period from April 13, 2026, to 60 days following the effective date of the agency’s forthcoming revision to the PFAS 8(a)(7) rule.

Addressing PFAS contamination is an urgent human‑health priority for EPA. Communities across the country, especially families, pregnant women, and children deserve swift action rooted in gold-standard science to reduce exposure and ensure the safety of water, soil, and consumer products.

TSCA section 8(a)(7) requires any person that has manufactured (including imported) PFAS in any year between 2011 and 2022 to report information related to chemical identity, uses, volumes made and processed, byproducts, environmental and health effects, worker exposure, and disposal to EPA. In support of the Trump EPA’s efforts to effectively address PFAS, EPA is reviewing the TSCA section 8(a)(7) PFAS reporting rule to ensure the agency obtains comprehensive, reliable information from manufacturers and importers."
