Clean Air Act Full Approval of the Operating Permits Program; State of Hawaii

EPA is taking final action to fully approve the State of Hawaii's operating permits program. Hawaii's program was submitted in response to the directive in the 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments that permitting authorities develop, and submit to EPA, programs for issuing operating permits to all major stationary sources and to certain other sources within the permitting authorities' jurisdiction. On December 1, 1994 EPA granted interim approval to the Hawaii operating permits program. Hawaii revised its program to satisfy the conditions of the interim approval, and EPA proposed full approval in the Federal Register on October 15, 2001. EPA did not receive any comments on the proposed action, so this action promulgates final full approval of the State of Hawaii's operating permits program.
