AI Summary
This bill, the PFAS Reference Standards Act, requires manufacturers of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) - chemicals with at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom - to submit analytical reference standards to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The EPA can then use these standards to develop information, protocols, and methodologies, as well as for activities related to the implementation or enforcement of federal requirements. The EPA can also provide these standards to states for similar purposes. The bill prohibits the commercial use or transfer of these analytical reference standards.
