Revisions to the Hawaii State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Hawaii

State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions would update 

and replace the minor new source review rules that EPA approved 

into the Hawaii SIP in 1983. 

DATE: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by [Insert date 

30 days from date of publication in the Federal Register].

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPAR09-OAR-2012-0213, by one of the following methods:

Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket

2

www.regulations.gov, including any personal information 

provided, unless the comment includes Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Information that you consider CBI or 

otherwise protected should be clearly identified as such and 

should not be submitted through www.regulations.gov or e-mail. 

www.regulations.gov is an “anonymous access” system, and EPA 

will not know your identity or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. If you send e-mail 

directly to EPA, your e-mail address will be automatically 

captured and included as part of the public comment. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and 

cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to 

consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any 

defects or viruses.

Docket: Generally, documents in the docket for this action are 

available electronically at www.regulations.gov and in hard copy 

at EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, 

California. While all documents in the docket are listed at 

www.regulations.gov, some information may be publicly available 

only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted material, 

large maps), and some may not be publicly available in either 
3

location (e.g., CBI). To inspect the hard copy materials,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following 

local rules: Hawaii State Department of Health Rules 11-60.1-3, 

11-60.1-5, 11-60.1-7, 11-60.1-12, 11-60.1-19, 11-60.1-81, 11-

60.1-82, 11-60.1-83, 11-60.1-84, 11-60.1-91, 11-60.1-92, 11-

60.1-93, 11-60.1-99, 11-60.1-103, and 11-60.1-104. In the Rules 

and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are 

approving these local rules in a direct final action without 

prior proposal because we believe these SIP revisions are not 

controversial. If we receive adverse comments, however, we will 

publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address 

the comments in subsequent action based on this proposed rule. 

Please note that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment, 

paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final 

those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone 
4

interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do 

not receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. 

For further information, please see the direct final action.
