IN THE MATTER OF:

MOTOR

RACING NOISE

)

R75-~1l

REGULATIONS

)

DISSENTING OPINION

(by Mr. Young):

I filed a Dissenting Opinion

in

R74~1O,

the Motor

Vehicle Noise Regulations proceedings adopted by the

Board on May 26,

1977, because

I found no authority in

the

Act for the promulgation of equipment standards

such as enacted in Rules

301,

302 and

313(b)

of Chapter

8.

The

Motor

Racing Noise Regulations adopted on

May 11,

1978,

are,

in part, deficient for the

reasons

set forth

in my dissent in R74~l0,

I believe that

adequate noise emission reduction from motor racing

facilities can and should be accomplished within the

authority of Section 25 of the Act.

It is my further

opinion that reasonable numerical property line noise

limitations can be established for such facilities and

that methods of compliance are best left to the motor

racing operators and participants.

This conclusion is,

of course,

at odds with the majority position expressed

on pages

6 and

7 of the Opinion.

I,

Christan

L. Moffett,

Clerk of the Illinois

Control

Board,

hereby certify

~I~e

above

Dissenting

Opinion

was

submitted

to

me
