The reconsideration focuses on MCLs for four compounds and compound groups: PFNA (perfluorononanoic acid, 10 ppt), PFHxS (perfluorohexane sulfonic acid, 10 ppt), HFPO-DA commonly known as GenX chemicals (10 ppt), and the Hazard Index limit for mixtures of PFNA, PFHxS, HFPO-DA, and PFBS. The reconsideration is conducted under EPA's authority as the promulgating agency and constitutes a separate administrative proceeding from the underlying 2024 rule. Until EPA issues a final rule amending or vacating specific MCLs, those MCLs remain in effect. The reconsideration applies exclusively to the SDWA drinking water program — it has no effect on TSCA §8(a)(7) reporting obligations, state PFAS product laws, or state product deadlines including Minnesota PRISM (September 15, 2026).
