Abstract: EPA is requiring reporting and recordkeeping requirements for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) as amended by the Fiscal Year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). As mandated by the amendment, EPA will require certain persons that manufacture (including import) or have manufactured these chemical substances in any year since January 1, 2011, to electronically report to EPA certain information. This is a one-time reporting event to provide greater transparency on the uses and risks associated with PFAS and is mandated by the NDAA. While EPA is currently proposing an extension to the existing ICR, the reporting requirements that were identified in the published proposed rule, once finalized, will be submitted as a separate ICR action EPA intends to use information collected to assist in chemical assessments under TSCA, and to inform any additional work necessary under environmental protection mandates beyond TSCA. Respondents may claim some of the information reported to EPA under the proposed rule as CBI under TSCA section 14. TSCA section 14(c) requires a supporting statement and certification for confidentiality claims asserted after June 22, 2016.
