PFASDisclose: Building the PFAS Compliance Navigator Before the Deadline

Six states have active PFAS product laws. The federal EPA TSCA reporting deadline is October 26, 2026. Minnesota's PRISM deadline is September 15, 2026. Most manufacturers haven't started yet. PFASDisclose exists to change that.

The Signal: Regulation Moving Faster Than Awareness

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — "forever chemicals") have been in manufactured products since the 1940s. The regulatory response has been building for years: EPA drinking water standards, state product bans, federal reporting mandates. But in 2025 and 2026, the pace accelerated sharply.

State after state passed product laws with specific deadlines, specific product categories, and specific penalties for non-compliance. The federal EPA issued a TSCA Section 8(a)(7) reporting rule with an October 26, 2026 deadline for most manufacturers and importers. Minnesota confirmed its PRISM annual reporting deadline at September 15, 2026 for the 2025 reporting year.

The compliance information available to most manufacturers was — and largely still is — inadequate. The information gap between the regulatory pace and the compliance awareness pace was the signal. PFASDisclose was built to close it.

Critical Deadlines

2026 Filing Deadlines — Do Not Miss
Sept 15, 2026 Minnesota PRISM — annual report for 2025 reporting year (MPCA confirmed)
Oct 26, 2026 EPA TSCA §8(a)(7) — most manufacturers and importers of PFAS
Apr 13, 2027 EPA TSCA §8(a)(7) — small manufacturers qualifying as article importers
Ongoing State laws apply even when EPA extends federal deadlines — verify each state separately

The Compliance Trap

The Trap Most Manufacturers Don't See

State laws apply even when the EPA extends federal deadlines. A manufacturer who waits for federal TSCA clarity before acting on state obligations can miss Minnesota's September 15 deadline and Maine's Phase 2 ban in the same quarter. PFASDisclose covers the full matrix — state and federal — so manufacturers can see the complete obligation picture for every jurisdiction where they sell.

What PFASDisclose Covers

The site provides state-by-state compliance information for manufacturers, importers, and distributors of products with intentionally added PFAS. It is organized around three questions every manufacturer needs to answer: which states have active laws, which product categories are covered, and what are the exact filing requirements and deadlines.

Every page cites primary government sources. The regulatory updates log tracks changes with source citations and verification dates. The compliance triage tool walks manufacturers through their state and product category to a plain-English filing determination. The PFAS glossary covers the terminology gap — the difference between PFAS, PFOA, PFOS, and the broader chemical class matters for compliance determinations, and most compliance guides gloss over it.

Federal EPA TSCA Section 8(a)(7) reporting is covered in a dedicated guide — including the article importer distinction that moves the deadline from October 2026 to April 2027 for qualifying small manufacturers.

The ESA Pattern

PFAS regulation is a classic Early Signal Arbitrage opportunity: the regulatory wave is confirmed and moving, the affected population (manufacturers, importers, distributors across 18 product categories) is large and underserved from an information standpoint, and the compliance tools that will eventually exist at scale don't exist yet in plain-English, primary-source form.

PFASDisclose is built before the mainstream compliance industry fully responds to the acceleration. That positioning — the reference that exists before the crowded market shows up — is the compounding advantage.
