U.S. House passes dust bill that would help protect off-road riding
P
ICKERINGTON, Ohio — Rural “nuisance dust” would be regulated by state and local officials rather than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under a bill approved by the U.S. House on Dec. 8, the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) reports. The House approved the bill by a 268 to 150 bipartisan vote. The measure — H.R.1633, the Farm Dust Regulation
Prevention Act of 2011 — now goes to the Senate for consideration. The bill would bring much-needed certainty to the off-highway vehicle (OHV) community by exempting rural nuisance dust from EPA regulation and allowing states and localities to regulate it, said Wayne Allard, AMA vice president for government relations. “Allowing the EPA to regulate rural dust rather than state and local officials who know the areas well could lead to de facto bans of OHV use on race tracks, in designated recreation areas, on trails and even on private property all across this country,” Allard said. “That’s why it’s critical that this measure pass the full Congress.”
