,Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) adopted new rules on December 8, 2025, governing the reporting and fee obligations for manufacturers of products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These rules require manufacturers or groups of manufacturers whose products are sold, offered for sale, or distributed in Minnesota with intentionally added PFAS to submit an initial report to the MPCA by July 1, 2026, along with the associated fee. The reporting obligation applies to all relevant products and their components. The required report must include several key pieces of information. Manufacturers must provide a brief description of the product or its category, a list of the PFAS chemicals used, and the concentration of PFAS in the product or its homogeneous components. Additionally, the report must detail the function of each PFAS chemical within the product or its components. Manufacturer information must be provided, including contact details for an authorized representative with authority to execute or direct reporting, as well as an alternative contact. These rules are designed to improve transparency, track the presence of PFAS in consumer products, and facilitate state oversight. Manufacturers are encouraged to consult Minn. R. ch. 7026.0030 for the complete list of required information and guidance on compliance. By enforcing these reporting and fee requirements, the MPCA aims to support public health and environmental protection efforts by generating reliable data on the use and distribution of PFAS-containing products within Minnesota.
