1150 LAWS OF MARYLAND Ch. 14
amended from time to time" is deleted as
unnecessary in light of Art. 1, §21 of the
Code.
The only other changes are in style.
SUBTITLE 6. NOISE ABATEMENT PROGRAM.
22-601. MOTOR VEHICLE OPERATION—ESTABLISHMENT OF SOUND
LEVEL LIMITS.
(A) ADMINISTRATOR TO ESTABLISH LIMITS.
WITH THE ENDORSEMENT OF THE SECRETARY OF
TRANSPORTATION AND THE SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND MENTAL
HYGIENE AND AFTER A PUBLIC HEARING FOLLOWING 60 DAYS
NOTICE, THE ADMINISTRATOR SHALL ADOPT REGULATIONS THAT
ESTABLISH MAXIMUM SOUND LEVEL LIMITS FOR THE OPERATION
ON THE HIGHWAYS IN THIS STATE OF EACH TYPE OF MOTOR
VEHICLE OR COMBINATION OF VEHICLES.
(B) SCOPE OF LIMITS.
IN ESTABLISHING LIMITS UNDER THIS SECTION, THE
ADMINISTRATOR SHALL:
(1) CONSIDER ANY NOISE EMISSION REGULATIONS
ESTABLISHED UNDER FEDERAL LAW FOR MOTOR CARRIERS ENGAGED
IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE; AND
(2) SET THE LIMITS AT THE MOST RESTRICTIVE
LEVEL THAT, THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF THE BEST AVAILABLE
TECHNOLOGY AT A REASONABLE COST, IS CONSISTENT WITH
ATTAINING THE ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE STANDARDS ADOPTED BY
THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §12-701(b).
In subsection (a) of this section, the present
deadline for adoption of the limits is deleted
as obsolete. The required sound level limits
have been adopted, effective October 1, 1975.
Also in subsection (a), the present reference
to limits "at a specified distance" is deleted
as unnecessary since, in any event, a sound
level is necessarily a function of distance.
See, e.g., present Art. 66 1/2, §12-702(b) -
now §22—605 of this subtitle — which refers
simply to the "sound level limits".
Also in subsection (a), the phrase "or
combination of vehicles" is added to conform
to the like reference to combinations in
§22—602 of this subtitle.
