Summary of Hawaii's 

Infrastructure State Implementation Plan Submittal for the 

2008 Lead National Ambient Air Quality Standard

Introduction

The Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) is submitting to the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) a revision to the Hawaii State Implementation Plan (SIP)

to meet the "infrastructure" requirements of Clean Air Act (CAA) sections 

110(a)(1) and (2) for the 2008 Lead National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

(NAAQS). The DOH proposes to certify and demonstrate that its programs and 

provisions adequately meet the basic requirements for enforcing the new 

standard for lead.

Background

The federal CAA sections 110(a)(1) and (2) mandate that within three years after 

the promulgation or revision of a NAAQS, a state must revise its SIP to show that 

it has the authority and programs needed to implement, maintain, and enforce 

that standard. The documents of the SIP revision must be made available for 

public review and comment must be accepted during a 30-day public comment

period and, if requested, a public hearing.

On October 15, 2008, EPA issued a revised NAAQS for lead (73 FR 66964, 

November 12, 2008). The deadline for adopting a revised SIP was October 14, 

2011. The DOH has been informed that “Notice of Failure to Submit” letters will 

soon be sent to states that have not submitted a complete infrastructure SIP for 

the 2008 Lead NAAQS.

The initial Hawaii SIP was approved by EPA (with certain exceptions) on May 31, 

1972, 37 FR 10842, 10860 (May 31, 1972), and has since been revised and 

expanded a number of times, most recently on August 9, 2012, 77 FR 47530.

Public Comment Period and Public Hearing

The public comment period began on January 10, 2013 and ended on February 

12, 2013. On January 10, 2013, a Notice of Public Hearing was published in the 

five major newspapers statewide. The Administrative Record, which comprises

the main components of the submittal, was made available for public review at six 

DOH offices across five islands. A public hearing was held on February 11, 2013. 

No testimony was given at the hearing and no comments were submitted to DOH. 

Submittal

The Hawaii Infrastructure SIP submittal consists of the following documents:

1) A Certification Letter and request that EPA approve the SIP revision.

2) A Proposed Certification of Adequacy table (Attachment 1) that explains 

how the applicable SIP, with the submitted revisions, would satisfy the 

infrastructure SIP elements of CAA, Section 110(a)(2).

3) Attachment 2 provides a Proposed List of Provisions Satisfying Hawaii’s 

Infrastructure SIP. The update proposes to add only one section, Hawaii 
2

Administrative Rules (HAR) §11-60.1-90, that has not yet been approved 

for the SIP by EPA. Evidence of the Approvals and Public Participation 

Proceedings from the Most Recent Amendment and Public Comment for

HAR §11-60.1-90, from September 15, 2001 is provided in Appendix F.

4) Three Technical Support Documents that demonstrate Hawaii does not 

significantly contribute to interstate transport of pollutants that impact 

nonattainment in, or interfere with maintenance plans by, other states

with respect to the Lead NAAQS. These appear as Attachments 3, 4 & 

5.

5) A Summary of Public Participation Proceedings (Attachment 6) and 

various enclosures document that DOH adhered to requirements for 

providing public notice and accepting comments. A public hearing was 

held on February 11, 2013. No comments were received.

6) Extensive appendices that include various reference documents,

including HAR Chapter 11-60.1, Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapters 84 

and 342B, DOH organizational charts, and recent ambient air quality 

monitoring data for lead.
