(a) Regulations

    The Administrator shall by regulation designate any product (or 
class thereof)--
        (1) which emits noise capable of adversely affecting the public 
    health or welfare; or
        (2) which is sold wholly or in part on the basis of its 
    effectiveness in reducing noise.

(b) Manner of notice; form; methods and units of measurement

    For each product (or class thereof) designated under subsection (a) 
of this section the Administrator shall by regulation require that 
notice be given to the prospective user of the level of the noise the 
product emits, or of its effectiveness in reducing noise, as the case 
may be. Such regulations shall specify (1) whether such notice shall be 
affixed to the product or to the outside of its container, or to both, 
at the time of its sale to the ultimate purchaser or whether such notice 
shall be given to the prospective user in some other manner, (2) the 
form of the notice, and (3) the methods and units of measurement to be 
used. Section 4905(c)(2) of this title shall apply to the prescribing of 
any regulation under this section.

(c) State regulation of product labeling

    This section does not prevent any State or political subdivision 
thereof from regulating product labeling or information respecting 
products in any way not in conflict with regulations prescribed by the 
Administrator under this section.
