Description

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is taking direct final action to amend the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulation with reporting and recordkeeping requirements for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). As promulgated in October 2023, the regulation requires manufacturers (including importers) of PFAS in any year between 2011-2022 to report certain data to EPA related to exposure and environmental and health effects. EPA is making a one-time modification to change the beginning of the data submission period from 12 November 2024, to 11 July 2025, with a corresponding change to the end of the submission period. EPA is also making a technical correction to address an error in the regulatory text. There are no other changes to the reporting and recordkeeping requirements in the existing rule under TSCA.This rule is effective 4 November 2024 without further notice. However, if EPA receives adverse comment by 7 October 2024, the Agency will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this direct final rule will not take effect.89 Federal Register (FR) 72336, 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 705https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-09-05/html/2024-19931.htm_x000D_
