[EPA-R09-OAR-2008-0884 FRL-8771-2]
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.
DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by April 15, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-
2008-0884, by one of the following methods:

online instructions.

3. Mail or deliver: Ginger Vagenas (AIR-2), U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA

Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket
without change and may be made available online at 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.

EPA, your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as

technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA
may not be able to consider your comment.

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 in the index, some information may be publicly
available only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted material),
and some may not be publicly available in either location (e.g., CBI).

2), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, (415) 942-3964,
vagenas.ginger@epa.gov.
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.
