EPA finalized a PFAS Reporting Rule under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 8(a)(7) that requires companies to report PFAS manufactured or imported into the U.S. between 2011 and 2022. This reporting requirement also includes PFAS that was imported as a part of a product. James Pollack will provide a deep dive on how the reporting rule operates, key questions that manufacturers and importers will need to understand their reporting obligations, how to select the right reporting forms, and how EPA interprets its “known or reasonably ascertainable” due diligence standard. He will also provide a brief update on new state PFAS laws impacting the industry.
