Attorney General William Tong led a coalition of 15 attorneys general in submitting a comment letter to the EPA opposing the Trump Administration's proposal to roll back PFAS reporting requirements under the Toxic Substances Control Act. The coalition argues that the exemptions would shield most manufacturers from reporting critical information about PFAS chemicals, hindering efforts to protect public health and the environment.
In-house legal teams should review contracts with manufacturers, importers, and suppliers to ensure they include provisions for PFAS reporting and compliance with TSCA requirements. Key clauses to check include chemical disclosure obligations, environmental warranties, audit rights, and indemnification for PFAS-related liabilities.
