EPA Proposes Changes To Reduce TSCA PFAS Reporting Burden

On November 10, 2025, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Pre-Publication Notice of its proposed rule which would modify the scope of Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) reporting under Section 8(a)(7), providing significant relief to manufacturers from burdensome reporting requirements. Citing Executive Order 14219 as well as the Trump Administration priorities, the EPA indicated its proposed revisions are, in part, to eliminate duplicative byproduct reporting, minimize costs to small manufacturers, limit reporting obligations to those manufacturers having information relevant to TSCA implementation and to more closely align the requirements with its statutory directives under TSCA.
