Abstract
On October 1, 1982, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's noise control program came to an end. The program was phased out following a determination by the Reagan Administration that, “the benefits of noise control can be adequately carried out at the State and local level without the presence of a federal program.” This decision to defederalize noise control has raised many questions concerning the further roles and needs of state and local noise control programs, such as: What actions will the states and cities take in the area of new product noise regulation, and how will these actions affect industry? Where will noise control officials be able to turn for technical and financial assistance? The author will discuss these and other questions currently confronting state and local noise control professionals.
