Are there unintended impacts GSA should anticipate? a. If so, what mitigation strategies should GSA consider? 6. What is the potential impact on domestic manufacturing if GSA establishes PFAS reduction requirements that reduce or prohibit PFAS, or eliminate them entirely? 7. What limitations exist for you to identify PFAS in the products that you offer? 8. Would your answers to questions #6 and #7 be different if only intentionally added PFAS (or when a PFAS containing chemical is included in a product that serves an intended function in the product) was the focus of this inquiry? 9. What is the potential impact on small businesses including socioeconomic small businesses if GSA establishes PFAS reduction requirements or prohibited PFAS entirely? 10.

If there is not information readily available, what type of tools would help you determine if PFAS is present (e.g., supply chain mapping, specific ecolabels, etc.) 13.

Request for Economic Data and Consumer Research Aside from the questions listed above, GSA also seeks to better understand the bigger picture regarding what industry changes are in fact feasible from an economic perspective. GSA seeks economic data and consumer research to help increase its understanding of the market. In your response please consider some of the questions highlighted below. You do not have to answer all of these in your response. The intent of the following are simply things to consider. 1. What will the estimated costs be to either reduce or eliminate PFAS within your industry? 2. Is there a large price differential between a product that contains PFAS and an alternative product? 3. How would a reduction or elimination of PFAS containing products impact your company’s ability to compete? 4. To what extent is your industry already moving to better understand and reduce the presence of PFAS in products as a result of broader market forces or policies being considered or enacted by entities other than the federal government?
