A. The chairman is authorized to grant permission for any request for interstate simulcasting whenever he finds that there is not impediment to the request by virtue of federal or state law, that there is no conflict with the rules or policies of the commission regarding such permission, and that such permission is in the best interest of racing in Louisiana. Any such action on the part of the chairman, or a duly authorized vice-chairman acting in his place, shall not require further ratification by the commission. Any such action taken pursuant to this rule shall constitute the consent of the commission pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 3004(a)(2) or (3), whichever is applicable.
