It appears that the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (or more appropriately in this case, NWS Honolulu) is calling this TS Haiyan as well.
Their 00Z high seas forecast used the JMA's location (as well as forecast points), but noted it as 40 kt 1-min.
Compare:
JMA 00Z (35 kt 10-min):
TROPICAL STORM 0716 HAIYAN (0716) UPGRADED FROM TROPICAL DEPRESSION
998 HPA
AT 28.5N 170.8E MIDWAYS MOVING WESTNORTHWEST 07 KNOTS.
CPHC 00Z (40 kt 1-min):
TROPICAL STORM HAIYAN 998 MB NEAR 28.5N 170.8E MOVING WNW 07 KT.
JMA 00Z (forecast 40 kt 10-min):
FORECAST POSITION FOR 070000UTC AT 29.8N 170.1E WITH 90 MILES RADIUS
CPHC 00Z (forecast 45 kt 1-min):
.24 HR FORECAST...TROPICAL STORM HAIYAN NEAR 29.8N 170.1E
JMA 00Z (forecast 35 kt 10-min):
FORECAST POSITION FOR 080000UTC AT 33.8N 172.4E WITH 160 MILES RADIUS
CPHC 00Z (forecast 40 kt 1-min):
.48 HR FORECAST...TROPICAL STORM HAIYAN NORTH OF AREA NEAR 33.8N
172.4E
Not sure if this is because they themselves analyse it to be a TS or they are deferring to the RSMC.
