The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing reporting and recordkeeping requirements for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

In addition to fulfilling statutory obligations under TSCA, this rule will enable EPA to better characterize the sources and quantities of manufactured PFAS in the United States.This final rule and previous actions notified under the symbol G/TBT/N/USA/1742 are identified by Docket Number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2020-0549.
