Rule Finalized Requiring Reporting On All Products Containing PFAS In Minnesota

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has adopted a final rule implementing the reporting provisions of the state's PFAS in products law, Minn. St. § 116.943. That law, and the resulting rule, impose a first-of-its-kind reporting requirement applicable to all products containing intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The final rule largely tracks the proposed rule released earlier this year, but with some refinements. Initial reports are due July 1, 2026, and then new products entering the Minnesota market after this initial deadline must be reported as part of an annual reporting cycle. The rule also permits companies to request one 90-day extension to the initial reporting deadline or request a reporting waiver in certain situations. All potentially impacted companies should therefore begin preparing now to meet the new reporting obligations.
