Section 4907. Labeling

    (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.
