Title: Rule Identifying When Military Munitions Become Hazardous Wastes and Management Standards for Such Wastes 
Abstract: EPA will issue a rule clarifying when military munitions (including chemical munitions) become hazardous wastes subject to Federal hazardous waste storage, treatment, and disposal rules. The rule will assure transportation and storage of such wastes are safe and protective of human health and the environment. The rule is likely to address munitions in the military stockpile to be demilitarized, burning of excess propellants, emergency responses involving both military and non-military explosives, and unexploded ordnance on firing ranges. State National Guard units as well as Federal DOD, DOE, and DOT (Coast Guard) units will be subject to these rules. EPA and EPA-authorized States will implement the standards.
