Impact
Companies importing packaging, processing equipment, coatings, treated papers, fluoropolymer-containing components or other articles potentially containing PFAS should use the additional time to reconstruct the required historical supply-chain information rather than interpreting the delay as cancellation. A defensible program should document supplier inquiries, material composition information, historical import records and the assumptions used where data are unavailable. Companies should also maintain a regulatory watch on the separate EPA scope rule because it may materially change who ultimately reports. [6]
