This rule is limited to entities that have manufactured a PFAS for commercial purposes. Some activities are not considered “manufacture for commercial purposes” under TSCA section 8(f), including non-commercial R&D activities such as scientific experimentation, research, or analysis conducted by academic, government, or independent not-for-profit research organizations, unless the activity is for eventual commercial purposes. Reporting would not be required for a federal agency that manufactures PFAS for no immediate or eventual commercial advantage.
