## Summary

Starting in 2025, certain companies that make or use nine specific PFAS chemicals must report their releases to the EPA’s Toxics Release Inventory. This rule affects many manufacturers and aims to keep communities safer by tracking these harmful substances. The new reporting requirements kick in February 5, 2025, helping the EPA and public know more about pollution without adding extra costs.

## Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is updating the list of chemicals subject to toxic chemical release reporting under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA). Specifically, this action updates the regulations to identify nine per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that must be reported pursuant to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (FY2020 NDAA) enacted on December 20, 2019. As this action is being taken to conform the regulations to a Congressional legislative mandate, notice and comment rulemaking is unnecessary.

## Effects PRIA read

- Nine PFAS Added to TRI; Reporting Starts 2025: cost, medium. Nine specific PFAS chemicals are added to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) and are reportable beginning with the 2025 reporting year (effective 1/1/2025). If your facility manufactures, processes, or otherwise uses any of these PFAS and meets the existing thresholds, you must report releases for…
- Designated 'Chemicals of Special Concern' — No Form A: cost, medium. All PFAS added to TRI by the FY2020 NDAA, including these nine PFAS, are designated as chemicals of special concern (40 CFR 372.28). That means these PFAS are excluded from the de minimis exemption and may not be reported on Form A (the Alternate Threshold Certification Statement), and instead are…
- Which Facilities May Be Affected: cost, medium. EPA identifies potentially affected facilities by NAICS codes including many manufacturing codes (for example: 311*, 312*, 313*, 314*, 315*, 316, 321, 322, 323*, 324, 325*, 326*, 327*, 331, 332, 333, 334*, 335*, 336, 337*, 339*), certain mining, utilities, waste, and other sectors, and federal faci…
- Use Existing TRI Forms; No New PRA Burden: benefit, low. EPA states this action does not impose any new information collection burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Facilities subject to reporting must use the existing EPA Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Form R (EPA Form 9350-1), and OMB has previously approved the related collections under OMB cont…
