Multi-State PFAS Reporting Requirements

TSCA Section 8(a)(7) requires manufacturers (including importers) who made PFAS for a commercial purpose any time from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2022 to report exposure, use, production-volume, byproduct, disposal and health/environmental-effects data to EPA — a one-time historical report, not an annual one.

As of this review, the TSCA 8(a)(7) submission period has not opened. Per 40 CFR § 705.20 (91 FR 18789), it opens no later than January 31, 2027, or earlier if EPA’s final rule on its November 2025 proposal (90 FR 50923) takes effect before about December 2, 2026, since the period starts 60 days after that rule’s effective date.

Separately, EPA designated PFOA and PFOS as CERCLA hazardous substances (effective July 8, 2024) and has added PFAS to the annual Toxics Release Inventory list every year since reporting year 2020, most recently adding a further PFAS effective reporting year 2026 — both distinct from the one-time TSCA 8(a)(7) report.

Maine, Minnesota and Washington each run their own PFAS-in-products programs, with different reporting deadlines, sales-prohibition schedules and exemption mechanisms; Minnesota's initial reporting deadline (September 15, 2026) has already passed as of this review.

• February 27, 2026EPA finalizes the addition of an additional PFAS to the annual Toxics Release Inventory list, effective for reporting year 2026 onward. Federal Register — document 2026-03944 — as of 2026-09-27

• January 31, 2027Outer backstop date for the federal TSCA 8(a)(7) submission period to begin, per 40 CFR § 705.20 (91 FR 18789). The actual start could be earlier — if EPA’s final rule on its November 2025 proposal (90 FR 50923) takes effect before about December 2, 2026, the period starts 60 days after that rule’s effective date instead — but as of this review the period has not opened and no report is yet due. eCFR — 40 CFR § 705.20 (91 FR 18789) — as of 2026-09-27
• January 1, 2032Maine’s general PFAS sales ban takes effect for all products with intentionally added PFAS, unless a Currently Unavoidable Use applies. Maine DEP — PFAS in Products — as of 2026-09-27
