New PFAS Reporting Requirement In Minnesota

Author: Colleen Nagel

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has extended the initial reporting deadline for intentionally added per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in products sold in Minnesota and online to July 1, 2026. The finalized rule was adopted after a two-year rulemaking process following Amara’s Law, which was originally promulgated in May 2023. The reporting requirements include, but are not limited to:

• A brief description of the product or a description of the category/type of product
• Identification of the PFAS chemicals used in the product or its components
• The concentration of PFAS chemicals in a product or components of a product made up of homogeneous material
• The function that each PFAS chemical provides to the product or its components
• Identification of manufacturer, as defined under Minnesota Statue §116.943(o), of product(s)
• Contact information for the authorized representative of the manufacturer and an alternative to the authorized representative
• A one-time flat fee of $800 per manufacturer to cover the State’s cost of implementation of the new rule

The complete list of requirements is listed under Minnesota Rule Chapter 7026.0030 (Minn.R.ch.) Reporting exemptions are listed under Minn.R.ch.7026.0090. The six-month extension from the original January 1, 2026 deadline was provided to allow manufacturers more time to become familiar with the new reporting system, PFAS Reporting Information System for Manufacturers (PRISM), and to allow time for supplier agreements for the suppliers reporting on behalf of the manufacturers as part of this new rule.

The information submitted within PRISM, not marked as trade secret, will be available to the public and maintained on a continual basis. Subsequent annual reports will be due each year by February 1.

Next Steps

Prior to the July 1, 2026 reporting deadline, ALL4 recommends completing an inventory of the products utilized at your facility to assess for products containing intentionally added PFAS.
