The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) adopted new rules governing reporting and fees by manufacturers upon submission of required information about products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on Dec. 8, 2025.
A manufacturer or group of manufacturers of a product that is sold, offered for sale, or distributed in the state and that contains intentionally added PFAS must submit an initial report to the MPCA by July 1, 2026, and pay the associated fee. Information required in the report includes:
- a brief description of the product or a description of the category or type of product
- 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
- manufacturer information
- contact information for the authorized representative of the manufacturer who has the authority to execute or direct others to execute reporting to the state
- an alternative to the authorized representative
Review the complete list of required information under Minn. R. ch. 7026.0030.

Background
The PFAS in products reporting and fees are part of a package of PFAS in products requirements in Minnesota Session Law – 2023, Chapter 60. The law directs that a manufacturer of a product sold, offered for sale, or distributed in Minnesota that contains intentionally added PFAS must submit certain required information to the MPCA. It also directs that if the MPCA opts to establish fees to cover the costs of implementing a reporting program, it must do so in rule.
