RE: EPA-HQ-OPPT-2020-0549 Dear Assistant Administrator Freedhoff: The undersigned organizations appreciate the opportunity to provide input on EPA's proposed rulemaking regarding Toxic Substances Control Act Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). EPA's proposal does not comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA), and several executive orders. We urge EPA to revise and repropose this action not only to bring EPA's proposal into compliance with these requirements, but also to give EPA actionable, high-quality, information to support EPA near-term PFAS policies and possible regulatory actions. The business community understands and appreciates the value of collecting more data to enhance the identification of potential PFAS-related risks and accelerate cleanup in impacted communities. However, EPA must have capacity to use the data collected in a timely manner and to focus on the data that will optimize the human health benefits of policies and will limit the burdens on impacted sectors. We therefore urge EPA to implement a phased approach that appropriately accounts for exemptions and burdens on regulated entities for reasonably reporting the required information.

July 28, 2021 Dear Assistant Administrator Freedhoff: We appreciate the opportunity to provide input on EPA's proposed information collection request (ICR) under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) rulemaking regarding Toxic Substances Control Act Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). We urge EPA to extend its information collection request (ICR) and comment period by 60 days to appropriately allow impacted industries to explore the potential costs and recommend less burdensome approaches, and comment on the practical utility of the draft ICR. Attached are our detailed comments. We look forward to working with you as this proposed rule moves forward. Sincerely, Chuck Chaitovitz

Abstract

EPA is proposing amendments to a TSCA regulation for reporting and recordkeeping requirements for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). As promulgated in October 2023, the regulation requires manufacturers (including importers) of PFAS in any year between 2011-2022 to report certain data to EPA related to exposure and environmental and health effects. EPA is proposing to incorporate certain exemptions and other modifications to the scope of the reporting regulation. These exemptions would maintain important reporting on PFAS, consistent with statutory requirements, while exempting reporting on activities about which manufacturers are least likely to know or reasonably ascertain.
