US environmental regulators delay PFAS reporting for two years

The US environmental regulators are pushing back the deadline for companies to report their use of PFAS chemicals. Companies now have until January 31, 2027, to submit their data, or 60 days after the final reporting rules are set, whichever comes first.

Companies that make or use PFAS chemicals now have more time before they must disclose their activities. This delay gives them an extra two years to prepare their records. It also means the public and regulators will wait longer to get a full picture of where these 'forever chemicals' are being used.
