Where the Hawaii island schedules apply
DCPAS prints one schedule for each island, and DCPAS's county list for the whole wage area is Hawaii, Honolulu, Kalawao, Kauai and Maui counties. DCPAS does not say which county each island schedule covers. The pairing on this page comes from 5 CFR 532 Appendix C, which lists the Hawaii wage area's survey area as Honolulu and, in its area of application: “Kauai (includes the islands of Kauai and Niihau)” and “Maui (includes the islands of Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Kahoolawe)”. Honolulu County is the island of Oahu, and Kalawao County is on Molokai.
Schedule 044: Island of Oahu (Hawaii)

Which counties does the Hawaii wage area cover?
DCPAS's county list for the whole wage area is Hawaii, Honolulu, Kalawao, Kauai and Maui counties, and it prints one schedule for each island. The pairing of islands and counties on this page comes from 5 CFR 532 Appendix C, not from DCPAS: it lists Honolulu as the survey area and, in the area of application, "Kauai (includes the islands of Kauai and Niihau)" and "Maui (includes the islands of Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Kahoolawe)". Honolulu County is the island of Oahu, and Kalawao County is on Molokai.
