T or F? All states have to adopt the MR as it is a national standards, i.e they must adopt it 'as is' with no amendments

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Some states may modify
• D. Only with EPA approval

Answer: (A)

National standards are intended to be uniform across all states. The Military Munitions Rule is written as a nationwide regulation that states implement as written, so everyone follows the same requirements for handling, storage, and disposal of military munitions. This consistency helps ensure safety, compliance, and enforceability nationwide and avoids gaps that could arise from varying state amendments. In this framework, states adopt the rule in its entirety rather than tailoring it locally; deviations would undermine the uniform standard and would typically require explicit EPA authorization or a compliant state program aligned with the federal baseline. So the statement reflects how the MR is designed to operate: adopt it as-is with no amendments.
