Part 111, Hazardous Waste Management, of Michigan’s Natural Resources and Environmental Protection  
Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (NREPA). The rules are identified as Hazardous Waste Management,

requirements. The federal revisions relate to the definition of solid waste, import/export, generator  
improvement, and e-manifest requirements. The rules also include state-initiated revisions regarding  
identification and listing, universal waste, reference updates, and typographical corrections.
