HAR §11-504-50. Reciprocity

(a) Each applicant for accreditation of an asbestos training course which is accredited, licensed, certified, permitted, or approved by a state other than Hawaii which has EPA approval may petition the director to grant complete accreditation without a visitation of the in-progress training course by the department. The department shall evaluate the requirements for accreditation, approval, permitting, certification, or licensure of the approving authority and shall grant accreditation without a visitation if the department determines that the requirements of the authority are equal to or greater than the requirements for accreditation in the State. (b) If the asbestos training course seeking complete accreditation is not accredited, licensed, certified, permitted, or approved by another state or by a federal agency, then an audit of the course by a department representative during the interim accreditation period will be performed.
