HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) is part of udev. You find its config 
files in /etc/udev/rules.d/
The corresponding HAL config file is /etc/udev/rules.d/90-hal.rules and 
here (Fedora 13) looks like

[myuser at myws /etc/udev/rules.d]$ cat 90-hal.rules
# pass all events to the HAL daemon
RUN+="socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event"
[myuser at myws /etc/udev/rules.d]$
