Revisions to the Hawaii State Implementation Plan 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

volatile organic compound (VOC), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and 

particulate matter (PM) emissions from motor vehicles, water 

separation, pumps, compressors, waste gas, and open burning, as 

well as several administrative requirements. We are proposing to 

approve several local rules to regulate these emission sources 

under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

following local rules: Hawaii State Department of Health Rules

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.
