- EPA proposes rollback of PFAS reporting requirements for manufacturers — The Environmental Protection Agency announced a proposed rule on November 10, 2025, weakening mandatory reporting requirements for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as "forever chemicals" linked to cancer and immune damage. New exemptions allow companies to cease reporting if PFAS comprise less than 0.1% of a product, are byproducts, are in imported goods, or are used for research and development. The change eliminates comprehensive tracking that enabled communities to trace contamination in water supplies. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin characterized the action as "reducing regulatory burdens."
