Description

Proposed rule; change to submission period and technical correction - The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is proposing to amend the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulation with reporting and recordkeeping requirements for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that was finalized on 11 October 2023. The final rule (notified as G/TBT/N/USA/1742/Add.3) requires manufacturers (including importers) of PFAS in any year between 2011-2022 to report certain information to EPA beginning 12 November 2024. EPA is proposing a one-time modification of the data submission period and a technical correction to amend a typographical error in the regulatory text. EPA is not proposing any changes to the scope of reporting under TSCA. EPA has concluded that a change to the submission period is necessary and in the public interest as the reporting application being developed to collect this data will not be fully functional by November 2024. The proposed revision of the submission period would facilitate compliance with the rule and help ensure that the collection includes accurate data on manufactured PFAS in the United States. EPA thus believes the proposed amendments are necessary and does not expect to receive any adverse comments. Therefore, in addition to this notice of proposed rulemaking, in the “Rules and Regulations” section of this issue of the Federal Register, EPA is promulgating the submission period modification and technical correction as a direct final rule. For more information on this proposal, please refer to the direct final rule (notified as G/TBT/N/USA/1742/Add.4)._x000D_
