"In 2024, the EPA proposed a PFAS rule with a January 17, 2025, comment deadline in response to questions from the industry regarding the effective date of supplier notifications for mixtures or trade name products containing a per- or polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) listed on the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). 90 Fed. Reg. 10043. Stakeholders questioned whether the supplier notification requirements for PFAS begin on January 1, 2025, when PFAS were to be added to the statutory TRI chemical list, or upon EPA completing a rulemaking to include the added PFAS in the Code of Federal Regulations. The EPA has reopened the comment period to allow interested parties additional time to evaluate how the proposed rule may impact parties potentially subject to the change. On February 21, 2025, the EPA extended the comment deadline to March 24, 2025."
