Which rule did the EPA develop as part of the 1992 Federal Facilities Compliance Act?

• A. The Hazardous Waste Rule
• B. The Clean Air Rule
• C. The Military Munitions Rule
• D. The Water Quality Rule

Answer: (C)

The question is about a rule created to address how military munitions are handled under hazardous waste regulations as part of federal facilities requirements. The Federal Facilities Compliance Act of 1992 gave EPA authority to regulate federal facilities under the hazardous waste framework and to clarify how military munitions fit within that system. The Military Munitions Rule was developed to establish a dedicated framework for managing military munitions—defining what counts as military munitions, when they become waste, and how they must be stored, transported, and disposed of—to protect people and the environment. It distinguishes military munitions from other hazardous wastes and aligns their handling with DoD operations, including demilitarization where appropriate. The other options don’t fit because they refer to broader environmental programs (hazardous waste in general, air, or water rules) rather than the specific rule created to address military munitions under FFCA.
