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 concern 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).

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:** This proposal addresses the following local rules: Hawaii State Department of Health Rules 11-60.1-1, 11-60.1-2, 11-60.1-4, 11-60.1-8, 11-60.1-11, 11- 60.1-14, 11-60.1-15, 11-60.1-16, 11-60.1-17, 11-60.1-20, 11- 60.1-32, 11-60.1-34, 11-60.1-40, 11-60.1-41, 11-60.1-42, 11- 60.1-51, 11-60.1-53, 11-60.1-54, and 11-60.1-56. 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.
