I think that you can tell HSM to RECYCLE the volume. Something like:

//STEP010  EXEC  PGM=IKJEFT01,
//             REGION=4096K,
//             DYNAMNBR=40
//SYSEXEC DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TSH009.REXX.EXEC
//SYSTSPRT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
 HSEND DELVOL volser MIGRATION(MARKFULL)
 HSEND RECYCLE -
 ALL  -
 PERCENTVALID(100) -
 EXECUTE -
 SELECT(INCLUDE(RANGE(volser)))
/*

With CA-1 at our shop, this will remove the volume from EDM status and
expire it to CA-1
