On September 5, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a direct final rule to delay the reporting period for reporting requirements for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 8(a)(7). 

The reporting period was scheduled to begin on November 12, 2024. But, the direct final rule delays the beginning of the reporting period until July 2025. The submission period will begin on July 11, 2025, and last for six months: July 11, 2025, through January 11, 2026. And for small article importers, the submission period will begin on July 11, 2025, and last for 12 months: July 11, 2025, through July 11, 2026. 

This rule is effective November 4, 2024 without further notice. However, if EPA receives adverse comment by October 7, 2024, the Agency will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this direct final rule will not take effect.
