Company some time do not put proper effort in studying it's external environment ( PESTEL analysis). Mostly it does a competitors analysis. Conducting analyses of the general environment, industry environment, and competitors allows a firm to understand external influences comprehensively. By integrating insights from these analyses, firms can develop a clearer vision, mission, and strategic actions, ultimately improving performance. The external environment must be SCANNED for environmental change . Company must MONITOR them , do a FORECASTING around it . Finally the should ASSESS the impact to them .

In follow up to my post yesterday, today EPA published in the Federal Register a proposed and direct final rule changing the beginning date for reporting under the TSCA 8(a)(7) from November 11, 2024 to July 11, 2025. The deadline for reporting shifts for most reporters to January 11, 2026. The revised rule now states: § 705.20 When to report All information reported to EPA in response to the requirements of this part must be submitted during the applicable submission period. For all reporters submitting information pursuant to §§ 705.15 and 705.18(b) (research and development), the submission period shall begin on July 11, 2025, and last for six months: July 11, 2025, through January 11, 2026. For any reporter who is reporting under this part exclusively pursuant to § 705.18(a) (article importers), and is also considered a small manufacturer under the definition at 40 CFR 704.3, the submission period shall begin on July 11, 2025, and last for 12 months: July 11, 2025, through July 11, 2026. There is one technical correction. EPA says it "is also taking action to correct an inadvertent error in the rulemaking by revising the text ‘‘published study reports’’ under the requirement to submit Organization for the Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) Harmonised Templates (OHTs) to the correct requirement of submitting OHTs for ‘‘unpublished study reports.’’ EPA intended to require OHTs only for unpublished study reports and is correcting the text accordingly.” Opps! This correction occurs at 40 CFR 705.15(f)(1). #PFAS #EPA #TSCA8a7 https://lnkd.in/gPb6m4ds

The US EPA issued an amendment to change the data submission period for the TSCA section 8(a)(7) PFAS reporting rule... The start of the reporting window is changing from November 12, 2024 to July 11, 2025. Key quotes from the EPA amendment... "The Agency is compelled to take this action in response to constraints on the timely development and testing of the software being developed to collect information pursuant to this reporting rule." "Although EPA continues to devote significant resources to development of the reporting application, EPA will not be in a position to accept data in a usable manner under the current start date of November 12, 2024, and thus it will be impossible for submitters to begin to submit data on that date." THERE IS ALSO A TECHNICAL CORRECTION AS FOLLOWS... "EPA is also taking action to correct an inadvertent error in the rulemaking by revising the text “published study reports” under the requirement to submit Organization for the Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD) Harmonised Templates (OHTs) to the correct requirement of submitting OHTs for “unpublished study reports.” EPA intended to require OHTs only for unpublished study reports and is correcting the text accordingly." "The requirement for PFAS manufacturers to submit all existing information concerning the environmental or health effects of that PFAS stipulates that the OHTs must be completed for “each published study report” [emphasis added]. EPA's intent was to require OHTs and supporting information for unpublished study reports, as those that are not publicly available in open literature (see 88 FR at 70524). Thus, this action also revises the word “published” to “unpublished” at 40 CFR 705.15(f)(1)." "This action does not alter any other aspect of the TSCA section 8(a)(7) PFAS rule in 40 CFR part 705."
