 Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Hawaii; 
Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the Clean Air Act, EPA is proposing to correct errors in 
certain final rules approving or compiling the Hawaii state 
implementation plan. These errors relate to the title of the plan, 
removal of variance provisions, and compilations of federally 
enforceable regulations. The intended effect is to ensure that the 
Hawaii state implementation plan is correctly identified in the 
applicable part of the Code of Federal Regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses corrections to 
errors made by EPA in a 1997 final rule removing variance-related 
provisions from the Hawaii SIP and in a 2005 final rule compiling the 
Hawaii SIP. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal 
Register, we are correcting these errors in a direct final action 
without prior proposal because we believe these actions 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

[[Page 11050]]

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 
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.

    Dated: February 25, 2009.
Jane Diamond,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
