What are the two key provisions of the 1992 Federal Facilities Compliance Act?

• A. It directed the EPA to develop the Military Munitions Rule and created a waiver of sovereign immunity with regards to federal facilities
• B. It established a new form of military base governance
• C. It mandated a complete ban on live munitions on federal property
• D. It created a special funding program for munitions disposal

Answer: (A)

The act sets two main provisions: the EPA is directed to develop the Military Munitions Rule under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act to regulate military munitions as hazardous waste, and there is a limited waiver of sovereign immunity to allow federal facilities to be regulated under RCRA for handling and disposal of military munitions. This combination ensures that military munitions on federal property fall under credible hazardous-w waste rules and that federal facilities can be enforceable under those rules.

This is the best answer because it accurately reflects both elements: establishing the regulatory framework (Military Munitions Rule) and granting enforceability at federal facilities (sovereign immunity waiver). The other options describe governance changes, bans, or funding that were not provisions of this act.
