EPA Expected to Finalize PFAS Reporting Rule by Jan. 1, 2023

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is expected to publish a final rule, no later than Jan. 1, 2023, which would require manufacturers (including importers) to report information on Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) manufactured or imported since Jan. 1, 2011. If the rule is finalized as proposed, the submission period for reports would begin six months after the effective date of the final rule and would last for six months. Also, the submissions would need to be sent to the EPA electronically via the anticipated PFAS reporting tool in the Agency's Central Data Exchange (CDX).
