**(a) Development and publication of criteria** (1) The Administrator shall, after consultation with appropriate Federal agencies and within nine months of October 27, 1972, develop and publish criteria with respect to noise.

(2) The Administrator shall, after consultation with appropriate Federal agencies and within twelve months of October 27, 1972, publish information on the levels of environmental noise the attainment and maintenance of which in defined areas under various conditions are requisite to protect the public health and welfare with an adequate margin of safety. **(b) Compilation and publication of reports on noise sources and control technology** The Administrator shall, after consultation with appropriate Federal agencies, compile and publish a report or series of reports (1) identifying products (or classes of products) which in his judgment are major sources of noise, and (2) giving information on techniques for control of noise from such products, including available data on the technology, costs, and alternative methods of noise control. The first such report shall be published not later than eighteen months after October 27, 1972. **(c) Supplemental criteria and reports** The Administrator shall from time to time review and, as appropriate, revise or supplement any criteria or reports published under this section. **(d) Publication in Federal Register** Any report (or revision thereof) under subsection (b)(1) identifying major noise sources shall be published in the Federal Register.

42 U.S.C. § 4904 — Identification of major noise sources

Page 6246 TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE § 4904 (c) Coordination of programs of Federal agen- cies; standards and regulations; status re- ports (1) The Administrator shall coordinate the programs of all Federal agencies relating to noise research and noise control. Each Federal agency shall, upon request, furnish to the Ad- ministrator such information as he may reason- ably require to determine the nature, scope, and results of the noise-research and noise-control programs of the agency. (2) Each Federal agency shall consult with the Administrator in prescribing standards or regu- lations respecting noise. If at any time the Ad- ministrator has reason to believe that a stand- ard or regulation, or any proposed standard or regulation, of any Federal agency respecting noise does not protect the public health and wel- fare to the extent he believes to be required and feasible, he may request such agency to review and report to him on the advisability of revising such standard or regulation to provide such pro- tection. Any such request may be published in the Federal Register and shall be accompanied by a detailed statement of the information on which it is based. Such agency shall complete the requested review and report to the Adminis- trator within such time as the Administrator specifies in the request, but such time specified may not be less than ninety days from the date the request was made. The report shall be pub- lished in the Federal Register and shall be ac- companied by a detailed statement of the find- ings and conclusions of the agency respecting the revision of its standard or regulation. With respect to the Federal Aviation Administration, section 44715 of title 49 shall apply in lieu of this paragraph. (3) On the basis of
