Title: ●Implementing Statutory Addition of Certain Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) to the Toxics Release Inventory for Reporting Year 2026 
Abstract:

Section 7321 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (NDAA) provides a framework for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to be added automatically to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) list on January 1 of the year following certain EPA actions. This regulatory action amends the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) regulations in 40 CFR part 372 to reflect this statutory addition. Each year since 2020, EPA has promulgated a conforming final rule to amend the codified TRI chemical list to reflect the automatic additions of PFAS from the previous year's actions.
