(b) The Commission may adopt, by publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin any subsequent amendments to the guidelines, standards, recommendations for the design, performance and certification for sulkies as issued by the USTA.
(c) The Commission may authorize variances from the above sulky standards and may approve for use any sulky which does not otherwise qualify under the previous sections, if in the Commission's opinion, the sulky does not pose a safety hazard, does not impair the horse or driver and does not undermine the competitiveness of the horse and driver.
