\"\"By John Kowalski<\/p>\n

On October 11, 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final reporting and recordkeeping rule for Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under Section 8(a)(7) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The rule established a one-time reporting requirement for any entity that has manufactured or imported for commercial purposes at any time since 2011 a chemical substance, mixture, or article containing PFAS.<\/p>\n

The rule does not include a list of specifically identified substances. Rather, it applies to PFAS as a chemical category defined by molecular structure. \u00a0More specifically, the rule defines PFAS as any chemical substance or mixture containing a chemical substance that structurally contains at least one of the following three sub-structures:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. R-(CF2)-CF(R\u2032)R\u2033, where both the CF2 and CF moieties are saturated carbons.<\/li>\n
  2. R-CF2OCF2-R\u2032, where R and R\u2032 can either be F, O, or saturated carbons.<\/li>\n
  3. CF3C(CF3)R\u2032R\u2033, where R\u2032 and R\u2033 can either be F or saturated carbons.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The rule requires reporting by entities that have manufactured PFAS or imported PFAS or articles containing PFAS between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2022.<\/p>\n
