Clean Air Act Proposed Full Approval of Revisions to the State of 
Hawaii Operating Permit Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the State of Hawaii's 
(``Hawaii'' or ``State'') operating permit program that amend Hawaii's 
regulations for insignificant emissions units (IEUs). In an April 1, 
2002 Notice of Deficiency published in the Federal Register, EPA 
notified Hawaii of EPA's finding that Hawaii's provisions for IEUs did 
not meet minimum Federal requirements. Hawaii has revised its program 
to correct the deficiency identified in the Notice of Deficiency and 
this action proposes full approval of those revisions.

DATES: Written comments must be received by May 21, 2007.

    Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket

IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California. While all documents

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses revisions to the 
following local rule, 11-60.1-82(e), in State of Hawaii operating 
permits program. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal 
Register, we are approving the revision in direct final action without 
prior proposal because we believe the revisions made to the program to 
resolve the Notice of Deficiency 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 a subsequent action based 
on this proposed rule. Please note that if we receive adverse comment 
on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule, we may adopt as 
final those provisions of the revision that are not the subject of the 
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: April 4, 2007.
Jane Diamond,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
