In an article for Reuters Legal and Westlaw Today, MG+M The Law Firm Partners John Hugo, Howard Goldberg and Brian Gross discuss the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). 

Excerpt: EPA's TSCA Reporting Rule requires manufacturers and importers of PFAS for commercial uses, including articles, mixtures, or byproducts containing PFAS, to provide EPA with information concerning these products. The Rule also mandates that companies provide EPA with information concerning their products' uses, production volumes, methods of disposal, potential environmental and worker exposures, and any knowledge they have regarding the potential hazards of PFAS posed by their products. The deadline for compliance is fast approaching, and companies must provide information to EPA by May 8, 2025. The failure of any manufacturer or importer to comply by the deadline exposes that company to potential civil fines of up to $48,512 per day, as well as criminal penalties of up to $50,000 per day and/or up to one year in prison.
