Dear State and Local Officials:
Does your Noise Control Program need more staff? If you answer this
question with a "no", then this booklet is not for you. You represent
one of those rare noise control programs which are well-funded. For
the rest of you who answer "YES!", this handbook is designed to help
you overcome your staffing problems and to ensure that all persons
working in the noise control program are well-trained.
Noise control programs at all levels of governmentfederal, state,
and localare notoriously underfunded and understaffed. As a conse-
quence, our ambitions far outrun our resources. The best solution, of
course, is to get a bigger appropriation from the legislature or your
city council. But if your prospects for this type of direct relief in
the immediate future are dim, there may still be some hope.
Several human resource programs are currently available through federal
agencies, and it is quite possible that one or more of these can be of
benefit to you. Through this handbook, we intend to give you more than
a description of current programs and the agencies which run them. We
hope we can help you form a lasting partnership with these agencies in
your own jurisdiction.
Let me assure you that we take our own advice seriously. Here in EPA's
Noise Control Program, we have entered into interagency agreements
under the auspices of these programs and thereby greatly expanded our
staff. Participation in the Older Americans Program has allowed us to
hire an additional person in each of our 10 regional offices. Since we
have an average of 1-1/2 federal employees per region, this is a 67%
increase in our regional staff! In addition, under the same program,
we initiated a Quiet Communities Program in Allentown, Pennsylvania,
in September, 1977. Joint efforts between the City of Allentown and
EPA allowed us to hire 40 older Americans to undertake a noise survey,
evaluation, and testing project. A means rather than an end, the
Allentown project will serve as a pilot for future endeavors.
-------
This handbook was written for us by a manpower expert. His expertise
combined with your knowledge about what you want to do in you commu-
nity to control noise can result in a larger staff with which you can
carry out your program. I hope you find this helpful in making your
program more productive. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact the noise control staff in our Regional Office
serving our community. Their addresses are given in appendix B.
Sincerely yours,
.^S"

IDENTIFICATION OF HUMAN RESOURCE PROGRAMS
This chapter deals with the identification of specific federal human resource develop-
ment programs which are available to state and local governments, institutions of higher
learning, and public and private nonprofit organizations and agencies. The programs listed
herein represent the bulk of available federal human resource dollars which have the highest
potential for being externally managed to assist state and local noise pollution programs and
projects.
At the very outset, it should be stressed that none of these programs was designed with
noise pollution management in mind and that considerable homework, attention to detail,
and imagination will be required to make them work for the noise program. Each of the
administering agencies has its own mission, priorities, methodology, and language. Initially,
only a cursory knowledge of these programs is required. It would be useful at this time to
review the major programs which have the highest potential for providing immediate assis-
tance to state and local noise abatement and control agencies.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Comprehensive Employment and Training Programs (CETA)
These programs administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, its state and local
counterpart agencies and Prime Sponsors are the most prominent programs and ought to be
examined before any other human resource program. CETA programs are almost totally
controlled at the local level, which should make it easier to initiate contact and interaction.
A Prime Sponsor is an entity established under the Act and usually is the highest elected
official from a unit of state or local government. Prime Sponsor areas are normally munici-
palities with populations over one hundred thousand; counties with similar populations;
groups (called consortia) of municipalities or counties; and for areas not served by a Prime
Sponsor, the governor as the "Balance of State" Prime Sponsor. In addition, the governors
have a five percent discretionary account for special purposes, unique or novel innovative
projects. A noise project would appear to fit that category. The five-percent discretionary
account should be thoroughly explored. It is usually under the control of the State Man-
power Planner or similar official on the Governor's staff.
-------
Programs for the Aging
These programs represent the second best source of assistance for the noise agency.
These programs represent the mobilization of millions of older Americans and retired persons
who have the time and talent to contribute materially to community and state noise pro-
grams and projects. Older Americans have a wealth of expertise and are eager to remain
productive and to live active lives. Older American Programs are administered by four
separate federal agencies listed in the preceding section:
1. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Administration on Aging
2. Department of Labor (Note: The Department of Labor has contracted with six
"national organizations" for this program. See Appendix B for listing.)
3. Community Services Administration
4. ACTION
In addition, the Administration on Aging and the Environmental Protection Agency
have formed a cooperative alliance under which several national organizations, in conjunction
with several states, are operating Older American programs in the environmental field. These
organizations are:
Green Thumb, Inc., operating in Kansas and South Dakota
The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and the National Retired
Teachers Association (NRTA), operating in Arkansas and Kentucky
The National Council on Aging (NCOA), operating in Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
Several state agencies have also undertaken Older American environmental programs, most
notably, in California, Illinois, and New Jersey.
Cooperative Education/Work Study
These programs are an excellent source of talented individuals who alternate periods of
academic pursuit with periods of public or private agency employment. The key to accessing
cooperative education programs is through local education institutions including colleges
and universities, community and junior colleges, and, in some locales, high schools. A local
noise agency, as well as a state noise agency, could greatly enhance its program outputs by
utilizing cooperative education as a device to increase staff.
-------
Vocational Education
This area represents a federal investment of over $600 million annually, which is
matched several times over by state and local vocational education agencies. It is an alterna-
tive to pure academics and strives to prepare individuals with marketable skills for entry
into the world of work. Vocational education can be especially helpful to the noise
program in many respects, including subprofessional training for those occupations which
might be in demand, police officer training for enforcement purposes, and specialized short
courses for presently employed persons within a noise agency. The essential ingredient is
to develop a working relationship and to make your needs known to them in such a way as
to demonstrate the positive demand for a continuous source of trained personnel by noise
agencies.
PROGRAM LISTING
Each program is listed as it appears in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance
(CFDA), which you might consult if you would like more information. However, once you
have identified a program which may suit your needs, personal contact with appropriate
individuals in the proper agencies is infinitely more useful and instructive.
The "application to the noise program" portion represents SUGGESTED applications
and are by no means to be considered prescriptive. The applications shown are only those
which are obvious and should not be viewed as either primary recommendations or the only
possible applications for your program. They do not represent any in-depth knowledge of
the personnel and training needs of state and local noise agencies but are intended to stimu-
late ideas and other applications. Flexibility and creativity are the key words in this particu-
lar effort.
To reiterate, the programs listed are only those which originate at the federal level.
It is reasonable to assume that there are human resource programs initiated at the state or
local levels which are equally suited to serve as a resource for noise program managers. It
is, therefore, incumbent on those officials representing noise programs to seek out local
human resource officials and solicit their cooperation. The principles contained in this
handbook are applicable to those unidentified state and local human resource programs as
well as to the federal programs listed.

Remember, the applications to the noise program of the preceding list of human
resource programs are only meant as examples. Nothing should preclude an agency from
exploring the variety of ways to interact with human resource agencies. It is in the best
interest of each noise program to seek out new and more effective ways to match programs
with human resource agencies. EPA not only furnishes this information, but will assist in
applying it and in offering suggestions. The listings in the catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance are constantly being updated, so periodical updating of information provided
in this handbook is recommended.

MARKET STRATEGY FOR PROGRAM LINKAGES
This chapter deals with the establishment of the program linkage between the noise
program and the human resource program. For want of a better term, it can be considered
a market strategy that offers some basic principles which have been successful in recent
years. Before going into the process, it should be noted that, traditionally, there has been
a bias on the part of regulatory, enforcement, and technical agencies against human
resource programs. This bias is manifested by the notion that they are for poor indigents
incapable of contributing to the accomplishment of the goals of the technical agency.
This is simply not true and has been disproved so often that it should be put to rest.
However, there are places where this bias is still the rule, so it is worth mentioning. On
the other hand, human resource agencies tend to be biased against technical agencies,
believing them to be insensitive to the needs of people. Both biases are counterproductive.
For the most part, you will be dealing with public agencies at your own level of
government. For this reason you should remember that your agency and the human
resource agency will have a point of common supervision. It is beneficial to know where
that point is and how to access that office, if need be. It may be that the common super-
visor's office is the only office capable of providing the program link you are seeking.
It is impossible to predict the success factor in any endeavor to secure program
support from human resource agencies but if the attempt is well researched, well planned
and well presented, chances are good that you will gain favorable response. Naturally, all
the normal bureaucratic pitfalls and roadblocks are possible and should not be overlooked.
There are peculiarities to every agency that will have to be reckoned with, the most
formidable of which will be linking your program with the human resource agency's
eligible applicants or constituent organizations. At this point in time, noise pollution is
not one of their priorities but the health and well-being of the people in your area is a
persuasive argument for establishing your program's credibility.
DETERMINE YOUR NEEDS
When going shopping, one should know what needs to be purchased. In this regard,
consider the following tenet:
HA VE A GOOD IDEA OF WHA T YOU NEED!
23
-------
In most instances, only a relatively simple process of needs assessment is necessary.
Simply put, take your annual work plan and match your current resources to that plan
for each program element to determine if you have sufficient staff and resources to
accomplish the job. Assuming that you do not, plot out what you can reasonably expect
to accomplish given your present allocations and circumstances. Examine the shortfall
in terms of personhours/weeks/months/years (whichever is applicable) and dollar amounts.
Some elementary arithmetic should bring you to a fair estimate of what you need in
terms of staff and resources to complete your work plan.
If you have all the resources you need, examine your work plan. It may not be
ambitious enough. If this is so, you ought to consider adding items to the plan that would
benefit your agency's mission. You can detail your needs in a variety of ways. For
example, you may choose to do a certain amount of each element listed on your work plan,
knowing that you cannot complete any or all within the year. In this case, you would
seek out human resource assistance to fill the gaps. Or, working from top to bottom, you
may elect to do as many items on the list as you can in order of priority. Anything else
will have to be accomplished by new or outside resources. Either method is good, although
the first is recommended since it allows you to assign each task to a resident expert
capable of supervising outside resources and staff in an effort to complete each item of work.
APPROVALS
SECURE INTERNAL APPROVAL FOR YOUR OUTSIDE
SEARCH FOR ASSISTANCE!
Once you decide to look for external resources, be sure that you have all the internal
approvals you need. In short, secure a basic commitment from your agency that it is, in
fact, desirable for you to seek outside assistance. Without that assurance, you may sub-
sequently find yourself in an embarrassing situation. Before committing your agency
make sure that you have the authority to do so.
LOCATING RESOURCES
KNOW WHERE TO GET WHAT YOU NEED!
It will not do you much good if you appear on the doorstep of the Area Agency on
Aging if you need to see the CETA Prime Sponsor for some temporary help under the
Public Service Employment Program. For that reason, make certain you know who to contact
before you begin soliciting. Of course, there is nothing wrong with exploring, but at least
24
-------
have an idea what the agency you are calling on can reasonably provide. What you are
attempting to do is make the resources assigned to an agency meet both yours and its
needs. In that regard, always remember that your needs are secondary to the objectives
of the program you are attempting to link with. Even in the administration of a joint
project, this will remain true and should not be forgotten.
If you are unsure about locating the resources you need, even after consulting the
preceding chapter, other services you might wish to investigate are provided by the following:
Federal Information Centers, listed in Appendix B, exist primarily to assist
persons by providing direct answers to questions submitted in visits, letters, and
telephone calls.
Federal Regional Councils are made up of senior officials of the major federal
domestic agencies in each of the ten federal regions. One of their purposes is
to coordinate some of the larger assistance programs. Each has an office and
permanent staff, also listed in Appendix B.
Federal Executive Boards, listed in Appendix B, consist of the heads of federal
field offices in 26 metropolitan areas. They are primarily concerned with improv-
ing federal management practices, but they also coordinate federal resources to
help meet local needs.
State/Area Planning Offices. Most states have a central planning office and several
area offices which assist the legislatures and/or governors in determining and allocat-
ing resources among state and local agencies. It would be prudent to ensure that
these area planning offices are aware of efforts of the respective noise agencies to
link with human resource agencies and programs. Their assistance should be
sought in identifying additional state and local programs which could benefit
the noise program. For identification of the area planning officer, consult the
municipal or county planning offices in your respective locales.
The type(s) of programs best-suited to your needs will vary. It is probable, however,
that you are primarily in need of staff and financial resources. If so, your first stops
should be the CETA Prime Sponsor's office and the Area or State Agency on Aging. These
two have the greatest potential for assistance when seeking staff resources. This does
not mean that you should ignore the others, but only that your efforts should begin with
these programs. Certainly, your time will not allow you to undertake an exhaustive effort
with every program.
25
-------
PREPARING YOUR PRESENTATION
Having determined which agency has the resources you need, prepare your case for
presentation to the appropriate official. Here you need to pay particular attention to
the goals and objectives of the other agency. In fact, it is often useful to take a sheet of
paper and jot down your program needs on one side and, on the other, identify as best
you can the needs, goals and objectives of the agency you plan to approach. This exercise
will give you a good idea of how to approach the other agency by telling the official what
is in the partnership for the human resource program. For example, if you can identify
six priority objectives of a particular program such as the Public Service Employment
Program under Title VI of GET A, address each one of them in terms of how a joint program
between your agencies will assist in their accomplishment. For example:
HUMAN RESOURCE A GENCY
CETA TITLE VI GOALS
NOISE A GENCY RESPONSE
Temporary employment not to
exceed one year
Concentration of work to be
performed in one area of the
jurisdiction
Employment of minorities, e.g.,
50% of those hired
Employment of women, e.g.,
50% of those hired
Provide on-the-job-training
Help solve a community problem
You should propose a project that
takes one year or less to complete,
e.g., a survey.
You should limit your survey to
that city or that area of the city,
while you suggest that another area
could be surveyed next year.
You should either accept that goal
and proceed or propose and justify
a modification to that goal because
it is just not attainable.
You should agree to hire as many
qualified women as possible.
You should agree to train those
individuals hired while on the job,
as well as provide for release time
classroom training.
You should emphasize that you are
helping to solve a community
problem noise pollution.
26
-------
Although rather simplistic, the overriding consideration to remember from this example
is that you will be engaging in a program that comes under another jurisdiction. You will
have to condition yourself to that fact very early in the process. Therefore:
KEEP THE OTHER AGENCIES'PRIORITIES AND OBJECTIVES
FOREMOST IN YOUR MIND WHEN LOOKING FOR THEIR HELP!
DOCUMENTATION
Effective documentation is one of the truly important keys to opening the door to
cooperation with other agencies. It is also one of the most frequently overlooked. Pro-
viding well-researched, easily readable relevant documentation is helpful to your agency as
well as theirs. It makes it easier for them to determine if they can meet your needs (and
if you can meet theirs). Also, it gives you a definite idea of how strong your position is.
More importantly, it indicates to the other agency that you are thoroughly serious, and
capable of carrying out your mutual objectives. If you arrived at your needs assessment
on the basis of your work plan and your current resource allocation, those should be
made a part of your documentation. If you had to conduct a needs assessment survey,
include the survey results in your presentation. In short, package as much relevant docu-
mentation as you think tells the entire story for submission to the human resource officials.
In all probability, you will find that the package you leave with the human resource
official will heavily influence the decision regarding your proposal.
At the outset in your search for resources: PREPARE AN ISSUE PAPER! Issue
papers or talk pieces give you the advantage of being able to frame the relevant concepts
into a short document with which you can begin the process of securing external support.
You can either mail the issue paper in advance of your meeting with the human resource
program manager making it the center of the discussion or bring it with you and leave
it behind with your other documentation as back-up material. In either case, your paper
should be limited to ten pages and should include:
1 An opening statement that frames the entire issue of the quality of life and the
health and well-being of the residents in the area you serve, and the need to
reduce the potential dangers of excessive noise levels to maintain or improve
that quality of life. (You might wish to use data made available by the Bureau
of the Census, Department of Commerce. Part B of the 1975 Annual Housing
Survey, Series H-150, 75B, provides statistics on the quality of housing and
neighborhoods with regard to noise. It can be purchased for $2.50 per copy
from the Superintendent of Documents, GPO, Washington, D.C. 20402.)
27
-------
2. An identification of the problem that brings you to the human resource program
manager; lack of an adequate workforce with sufficient skills to cope with the
noise problem.
3. Suggestions on how that problem or issue can be resolved by a program link
between the respective agencies.
4. An outline of the anticipated results of such a joint venture both in terms of
the noise program and the human resource program.
5. A proposal to come to a working agreement with the human resource agency that
suggests reasonable resource requests and a reasonable time frame for the project.
At this point, you should have a good idea how much assistance the other agency
can provide. Consequently, it will do you no good to ask for assistance that is beyond the
reach of the human resource program manager. Your issue paper should not mention
specific dollar amounts or specific requests other than a basic commitment on the part of
the human resource agency for assistance that can be provided comfortably. Again, it
should be stressed that if your documentation is accurate and readable, the human resource
program manager will have a good idea of what you need.
BARRIERS
It would be quite useful for you to go over the other agency's program prior to
meeting with the program officials in order to determine if there are any significant
barriers which may hinder or delay the joint venture you are about to propose. It is not
infrequent that barriers arise which have to be addressed and overcome. This is sometimes
a long process, so to save yourself some time, try to identify any roadblocks that may
exist and prepare suggested solutions to them. One such barrier could be the imposition
of hard quotas for recruitment of certain types of individuals for the project when, in
fact, they may not be available in the labor pool. You should be aware of such items but
ought not let them deter you. In most cases, the human resource program manager will
have the option to waive such quotas and requirements. Regardless, attempt to comply as
best you can.
Other barriers could involve the difference in accounting, bookkeeping, or administra-
tion systems between your agencies. In these instances, always try to defer to the human
resource program's systems. It will make things easier for you provided that you are in a
position to make that concession. Therefore:
SEARCH OUT ANY BARRIERS AND HA VE A SOL UTION IN MIND!
28
-------
WHO TO MEET
Having finished all your homework, including your documentation and issue paper,
you must find out which individuals you need to see. If you are the head of your agency
and can accomplish your objectives over lunch with the head of the other agency, so
much the better. You have done your part and are now able to delegate the work.
However, if you are not the head of your agency, you will want to arrange a meeting with
the highest official possible from the other agency without breaching any protocol that
may exist. The higher you go, the easier it is for you to gain acceptance and commitment.
As a word of caution, you could seriously impair your efforts if you bypass an individual
with whom you will have to work directly for the life of the project. It makes good sense
to identify that person or persons before you meet and make sure they are in attendance.
Simply stated, it raises their comfort levels and enhances their potential for cooperation.
In any event, be certain that all those who have a vested interest in the program you are
approaching are in attendance at the first meeting. All else aside:
MEET WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE!
If you already have a working relationship with the human resource program manager
you are ahead of the game. If you do not, try to cultivate one. It will help you immensely
as you begin to develop your proposal and your project. You should try to identify a
counterpart in the human resource agency and get to know him or her. It ought to be
the official who is nearest you in terms of grade, responsibility, and program interest.
As best you can:
CULTIVATE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS!
NEGOTIATING
Negotiating is the fine art of compromise. It is the method of receiving without
having to give too much. It is a combination of skill and appearances. It is having all your
homework finished and being better informed than the other side. It is having your
facts ready, knowing what you want, where to get it, who to deal with, how much you
will settle for and how little you will give. Depending on how you approach it, it can be
painless or painful. In any case, if you are well prepared, you will have a good chance
for success. There is no easy way to tell how you will emerge from a negotiating session
until you start and then it will be too late to withdraw.
For openers, try using the issue paper. If you decide that an exploratory meeting is
best-suited to the occasion, leave the issue paper with the human resource program manager.
This affords him or her something to read and react to. Ask for an early reaction, as
29
-------
convenient as possible. Do not ask for any commitment other than a reaction and further
discussion. Arrange a second meeting, if possible, before you leave.
Some have argued that during program negotiations, meeting times and places are
critical. While they may not be all that important, they are significant in the sense that
an ill-timed meeting can do your program irreparable harm. Try meeting before lunch and
then going to lunch together. In this way you have set an ending time for the meeting and
you can leave lunch open for cultivating your relationship or for informally continuing
your discussion. Always volunteer to meet at the human resource program manager's
office and to go to lunch at the place of his or her choosing. Again, it raises the comfort
level a great deal.
Another option is to reverse the process. Try meeting for lunch and then returning
to the other agency for the meeting. This gives you the opportunity to meet informally
first and allows you to ease into the formal meeting. You can gain an ally over lunch
who can help you considerably if others will be attending the meeting. The person you
went to lunch with is more apt to see your side clearly and, therefore, likely to head off
any direct confrontations. Either method works.
Do not arrange any late afternoon or early morning meetings. People want to go
home in the late afternoon and you run the risk of getting stuck in traffic in the morning.
Decisions during those times could be adverse, especially if the human resource program
manager simply wants to get the meeting over with and go home.
If you feel that you are making progress and that you have a sympathetic ear, try
testing to see if you are, in fact, communicating. Do some summarizing as to where you
are hi the conversation and how much more you have left to do. Look for reactions that
indicate that you are getting through with your points and suggestions. Some bureaucrats
are the best listeneers and the most sympathetic people in the world. But, when all is
said and done, they give you little more than a good hearing. If you feel that you are not
communicating, try to find out why ask questions. You could be assuming too much
prior knowledge of your program on the other person's part, and the reason that you are
not getting through is that you have lost him or her at some point. Or, you may have
been emphasizing the wrong aspects of the program. One of the best things to do at a
time like that is to get the other person talking. Start asking questions about the human
resource program. Try to find out where they are placing their priorities, on which programs
and with what kind of funding. All this can lead you to the question you came to have
answered which is how you and the human resource program manager can develop a joint
program of mutual benefit. Do not assume the posture of a beggar. Admittedly, you are
looking for help, but you are also a potential partner with a program that can be of signifi-
cant value to their operations as well as to your state or community. In cultivating your
relationship, find out specific ways in which you can assist the human resource agency.
Too often, individuals and organizations develop no sympathy for those agencies from
which they are trying to obtain funding or other resources. Your agency can be a valuable
30
-------
ally and if you approach it tactfully, you can convince the human resource program manager
of this in such a way as to assure him or her of your cooperation and friendship.
FREQUENT ERRORS
In an effort to help you avoid making some of the most frequent errors, the following
common mistakes are identified:
Do not read the human resource program manager's rules back to him or her.
This individual knows them simply because he or she has to administer the program
by them. This is an item that should never be considered. It will only irritate
the individual and it serves no useful purpose. You should, however, know the
other program's regulations and be able to discuss them if the program manager
brings them up. Under no circumstances should you try to interpret the regula-
tions. You would be doing the other person's job and intruding in an area where
you are likely to make mistakes that can cost you the success of your campaign.
Do not seek consensus or ask for a vote. Frequently, that appears to be the way
to resolve an issue under discussion. However, you run the risk of alienating
the human resource program manager by undermining the decision-making
authority vested in that office. If you are in the right office, the decision-making
capacity will also be there. You will just have to be patient until the program
manager makes up his or her mind.
Do not accept the first offer made to you by the human resource program
manager unless you are certain that there can be no better offer. Normally, you
know that if offered a small portion of what you asked for right away, you ought
to push for more. Try restating your needs and demonstrating how what has
just been offered is woefully lacking. Do this in such a way as to keep the con-
versation pleasant, but get your point across that you need more. Be realistic.
It could be that the initial offer is legitimate and all the human resource program
manager can afford at that time. In that case, accept the offer and suggest that
you will be back for a reevaluation when new funding becomes available.
Do not talk too much. People have been known to talk their way in and out of
a program in less than an hour. You have to understand that once you have
gained a commitment for assistance from the human resource agency, you ought
to go back to your office and fulfill your part of the bargain, Do not wear out
your welcome.
31
-------
It ought to be stressed here that you will have to be creative. Do not assume that
quality resides anywhere else other than with you. It will be up to you to demonstrate
how your programs can mesh and what the mutual benefits are of a linkage with the noise
program. It will be up to you to show how you can assist the human resource program
manager in meeting his or her program's goals and objectives while concurrently helping
to solve an environmental problem.
Be persistent in your search for human resource agency help. It is possible to do this
without being pushy or obnoxious. Maintain your channels of communication and be
on the lookout for later opportunities such as additional appropriations of which you
can avail yourself. Watch for new legislation in human resource development and be
ready to link with those new programs as their potential use to your noise program becomes
apparent. Strive for long-term commitments and partnerships with human resource
agencies.
FORMALIZATION/CLOSURE
When you reach verbal agreements, put them in writing as soon as possible. The most
efficient method of formalizing mutual commitment with another agency at your own
level of government is by Interagency Agreement which is signed by officials with the
authority to commit each agency. In the case of two agencies within a larger department,
the agreement would be an Intra-Agency Agreement. Some agencies have established
formats for Interagency Agreements. Usually, they frame the scope of the issue to be
addressed as background in the introduction. Next is a statement of need that establishes
and acknowledges the agency's needs or both agencies' needs and justifications followed
by a plan of operation, including all the items agreed to, that spells out how those needs
will be met. Then there are budgetary details or any other financial transactions, transfers
of funds from one agency to another, reporting requirements and schedules, listings of
project officials and any other pertinent data. The agreements may be written in contract
form or other format. As a general rule, it would be wise to have your agency's attorney
review the Agreement. It can save you needless rewriting and trouble later on.
In any event, confirm your agreements in writing without delay. While you are
drawing up the Interagency Agreement, you should confirm the points you and the other
agency agreed to by letter. This keeps your project in view. In your letter, volunteer
to prepare the first draft of the Interagency Agreement and deliver it on a certain date.
This places you on the offensive and gives you time to do a good job while making sure
that you get what was agreed to.
It is at this point in the process that you should, if you haven't already, start thinking
about continuation of your project. It may be that, as part of the negotiations, you had
to commit your agency to keep some of the individuals hired under the Public Service
32
-------
Employment Program. If so, then you have made a good faith effort. This should not keep
you from making it clear that you plan to expand the program at a later date. In this
instance, the "pilot" program concept is especially appealing. Having marketed your
project as a pilot program, try for more than one-year funding. If that is not possible, be
certain that the pilot stage, when completed, will allow you to request additional assistance
for expansion of the program. You should take the time to explain to the human resource
program manager that solutions to environmental problems are neither easily found nor
quickly produced and that you expect that your program will need continuing assistance
in varying degrees. In fact, the optimum is for you to seek, and gain, commitment for a
long-term partnership between your respective agencies. You will not find out until you
ask. Depending on the reaction you get, you will know how to approach the task of ensur-
ing the continuation of your programs and projects with human resource agencies.
However you label your initial project, and however you gain commitments and
assistance, you need to document your progress carefully. Usually, the Interagency Agree-
ment will include a specific reporting requirement. Be certain that you adhere to it as
well as provide any additional information that you may have. It is normally on the basis
of your paperwork performance that a good deal of the decision is made on the future of
your joint programs. If you can deliver timely, efficient and useful information in a success-
ful program or programs, you are well on the way to obtaining a continuation. It may be
that you will be playing the numbers game, counting heads, training hours and the like;
but it is worth it, and it is imperative if you need to demonstrate how your program helped
meet the objectives of the human resource program.
Evaluation is another worthwhile tool in the mangement of interagency projects.
Evaluation may take the form of site visits, monitoring reports, accounting checks,
employee or trainee interviews, and general management reviews. It is desirable to have the
project evaluated by the human resource agency as it is a form of technical assistance that
you ought to avail yourself of. If treated in that light, outside evaluation will be helpful
in pointing out where your program is strong, weak or improving. It also keeps the lines of
communication open between you and the human resource program manager.
As the dialogue between your agencies continues, you might find that you are in a
position to secure additional funds at year's end or at times when the human resource
agency is looking for additional programs to fund. As a matter of course, you should
periodically check with the human resource program manager to see if spare funds are
available. Opportunities such as these should be formalized in writing at the earliest possible
moment.
For a considerable number of interagency programs, formal proposals will have to be
prepared. While the issue paper was acceptable for opening the door, the formal proposal
completes the action. In that regard, the following format is offered:
1. The Introduction should begin with the mission of your agency, its statutory or
other authorities, and how it relates to the quality of life within the area you serve.
33
-------
2. The Statement of Need should demonstrate how the lack of an adequate supply
of skilled personnel places the noise program in serious jeopardy. (Do not be
bashful in stating your case regarding the quality of life that will suffer if your
agency does not have an adequate supply of qualified personnel.) The Statement
of Need should clearly identify the type of needs you have and in what proportions
as well as the specific type of support you are seeking from the human resource
agency under a particular program. If you are proposing to a CETA Prime
Sponsor, you should be able to detail exactly how many persons you need, with
what skills and other relevant items. You should identify any justification you
may have for those figures and attach any supportive documentation as necessary.
3. The Plan of Performance should set out in full detail exactly what you will do with
the resources provided by the human resource agency. This should include:
staffing lists, wage rates, training outline, places of employment if other than your
agency, job categories, and any other pertinent data.
4. The Budget should be broken down according to costs allowable under the
program you are attempting to join. In every case, the budget should reflect how
you arrived at the figures you have proposed.
5. Attachments. Any documentation you have which will serve to strengthen your
proposal should be appended. Such items include: a copy of your agency's statute
or mission statement, any manpower data you have on the need for staff within the
particular occupations within your agency, curricula for training, tables, charts,
etc.
Every proposal you write should be replete with mention of how your joint program will
benefit the program of the human resource agency. This cannot be stressed enough. The
human resource program manager ought to be able to identify the anticipated benefits to
both programs, especially in terms of serving to meet the needs of not only the noise
program but the main client(s) of the human resource program as well.
The benefits should be explained in the Statement of Need section in terms of how
the combination of programs lends itself to meeting both agencies' needs at the same time.
The budget narrative should show the cost benefits of a joint arrangement inasmuch as your
agency can assume some of the administrative costs normally incurred by the human
resource agency in developing and administering a program with the typical grantee. In
summary, the human resource program manager must be convinced that a mutual arrange-
ment with the noise program is in the best interest of the human resource program, its
clients, and the community as a whole.

ILLUSTRATIONS AND COMMENTARY
Several examples of noise program linkages with human resource agencies were found
through telephone interviews. Since the emphasis on these linkages is relatively recent, we
were fortunate to have identified instances where noise programs specifically were assisted
by human resource programs. Time did not permit visits to these sites nor did it permit us
to gain a clear understanding of the means and methods used to consummate the arrange-
ments at the local level. Among those examples we found were:
Brookline, Massachusetts. The Brookline Conservation Commission is conducting
a noise survey with the aid of four students whose positions are funded under the
CETA. The students are using EPA sound-level meter kits in the conduct of the
survey. The results of the survey will assist in the preparation of a local noise ordi-
nance which will be proposed at the 1978 Town Meeting. For additional informa-
tion, contact the Brookline Conservation Commission or

Lawton, Oklahoma. Through telephone interviews, it was found that the
community of Lawton utilized approximately 20 CETA personnel in June 1975.
As a result of potential adverse impact of Fort Sill artillery firing noise over por-
tions of Lawton, the city Community Development Agency used CETA summer
hires to work with city employees at 11 sites using EPA-furnished sound-level
meters to determine if there was, in fact, adverse impact. For further information,

COMMENTARY
The lack of state noise control programs leaves a wide void in the federal, state, and
local cooperative approach to effecting programmatic ties with counterpart human resource
agencies. In addition, this situation weakens the position of the local noise agency in
securing assistance from state-level human resource agencies. Typically, the foremost need
of state noise agencies is staff and financial resources. If staffing barriers could be eliminated,
the state noise agency would be able to deliver the added dimension of technical assistance
to the locales, which completes the chain in the federal, state, and local partnership.
It becomes apparent that the optimum situation, under present circumstances, is the develop-
ment of state capability in noise abatement and control.
One of the reasons for the lack of strong state programs on a uniform basis is the
absence of a clearly identified noise program. By and large, noise has been considered a
health problem rather than an environmental issue. As a result, there is even keener competi-
tion for staff and resources for the noise program when viewed in the context of the several
health programs which, by their nature, demand higher and more immediate priorities.
Ultimately, this may be an organizational issue, where little opportunity exists for outside
intervention.
As a matter of recommendation, for those noise agencies located within the organiza-
tional confines of the state environmental agency, it would be well to solicit an across-the-
board submission of a comprehensive environmental proposal to the human resource agencies.
This could be of significant benefit to the noise program inasmuch as it would allow for a
certain degree of shelter among the higher priority environmental programs without being
buried by health programs. The umbrella approach to environmental education, training,
and employment based on an environmental agency-wide plan and proposal to human
resource agencies would assist the noise program by producing strength through multi-
plicity and by allowing for a separate and distinct noise program element within that overall
program. Therefore, where possible, noise agencies should consider developing an environ-
mental agency-wide initiative from which the noise program would benefit.
Another very important discussion point is the appropriate roles and responsibilities
of the EPA Regional Office staff in the development of state and local noise/human
resource initiatives. Primarily, there are two offices within the regional structure which
should be playing integral roles with varying responsibilities in this process:
1. The Regional Noise Representative, as the chief spokesperson for noise programs
within the region, is a primary contributor to any attempt to link state and local
noise programs with state and local human resource programs. Traditionally
viewed as a technician and provider of direct noise-related assistance to states and
locales, the role of the Regional Noise Representative, by necessity, is evolving
into one of facilitating as well as assisting. In this regard, the Noise Representative
37
-------
works with state and local noise agencies in the development of plans and programs
in conjunction with state and local human resource agencies.
2. The Regional Workforce Coordinator, as the chief spokesperson for human resource
programs within the region, is in a position to provide valuable services to the
noise program. The role of the Regional Workforce Coordinator is one of technical
assistance to the noise office from the human resources perspective. In that
regard, the assistance rendered by the Regional Workforce Coordinator is just as
technical as the assistance provided by the Regional Noise Representative. In
tandem, the Regional Noise Representative and the Regional Environmental
Workforce Coordinator provide the bulk of expertise and capabilities to ensure
worthwhile ventures into resource development for noise pollution management.
The interface between the two offices within the Regional Office is dependent on
the relative priorities of the Regional Office as a whole. Suffice to say, there is a need
for the Regional Noise Representative and the Regional Environmental Workforce Coordi-
nator to give serious consideration to providing an emphasis on the development of human
resources for noise agencies at the state and local levels. While the Regional Environmental
Coordinator possesses the necessary expertise in human resource programs, especially
those of other federal agencies, the Regional Noise Representative has the expertise in the
noise field. Together, these two offices are ideally situated to facilitate the linking process.

SUMMARY
It has been said that the proper federal role in domestic affairs is catalytic in nature
that it causes things to happen and to be done. While this may be a hasty generalization,
the point with respect to human resources for noise pollution management is quite true.
The federal perspective sees a lack of qualified personnel short-circuiting efforts to control
and reduce noise. On the other hand, the federal perspective recognizes that too many of
the nation's human resources are being wasted for want of conditions conducive to full
utilization. Of necessity, each effort views the other as a possible means of alleviating those
conditions which hinder its progress. The missing ingredient is a coordinated attempt to
bring the two perspectives into focus.
This handbook has attempted to contribute to that focus. Recognizing the general
needs of state and local noise agencies, we have suggested that a close working relationship
with education, training, and employment program officials would be of value to the noise
program manager in furthering the ends of the noise program. We have identified those
federal programs which, in our opinion, best lend themselves to cooperative programming
with noise pollution management programs. We attempted to provide a basic strategy
for implementing those necessary relationships. There were some limited examples of how
this could be accomplished, and we provided some suggestions on the proper role of the
federal EPA Regional Offices with respect to the problem at hand. Appendix A contains
some sample letters which you might find helpful, and Appendix B lists those offices
responsible for the programs identified in Chapter 2. Of course, there is an infinite number
of variables at play, and consequently this process cannot be viewed as being static. Con-
ditions will change as will programs and priorities. We have attempted to provide you with
information as timeless as possible we hope you find it useful.
The information contained in this handbook is, by no means, an exhaustive treatment
of the subject. The guidance offered here is only intended to provide a minimum sketch
of the potential assistance that human resource agencies and programs can provide to the
noise program. Our intention was to introduce you to the resource potential and hope that
you, the noise program administrator, would take the initiative to pursue the matter further.
Only people can benefit, and they will only benefit if you take the necessary action.
At this point, it would be useful to review the principles on which this work was
undertaken.
39
-------
1. The potential hazards of noise pollution make it imperative that the response to
that danger involves a number of agencies and organizations, including human
resource agencies.
2. Human resource programs are provided as a public service by public agencies.
They exist to serve the public good just as the noise program does.
3. Coupling noise programs and human resource programs is an example of good
management and good government. It allows one tax dollar to serve two needs.
4. Before you look for human resource agency assistance, know what you need and
where to find it.
5. Before you take your case to another agency, secure all internal approvals.
6. Keep the human resource agencies' priorities and objectives in mind.
7. Use issue papers whenever possible.
8. Search out any barriers and have solutions in mind.
9. Cultivate your relationships with human resource officials.
10. Never read the human resource program managers' rules to them.
11. Do not look for consensus or ask for a vote.
12. Do not take the first offer made.
13. Recognize when you have succeeded and then leave.
14. Remember, the human resource program manager will be as unfamiliar with your
program as you are with the human resource program; try to know more.
15. Use your imagination; be creative.
16. Make sure you document.
17. Involve as many people and organizations as possible.
40
-------
18. Be patient.
19. Remember that you are in a new arena. There are few precedents.
20. "It's amazing to see how much can be accomplished if no one cares who gets the
credit."

AREA AGENCY ON AGING
Ms. Denise F. Devereut, Director
Morgan County Area Agency on Aging
Morgan County Building
2232 Swift Street
Grimes, Indiana 65454
Dear Ms. Devereut:
The Department of Environmental Conservation of Morgan County is responsible for carrying out
the provisions of the local noise ordinance and the applicable provisions of the State Noise Act of 1976.
These enactments are designed to protect the health and well being of the people of Morgan County from
the potentially dangerous effects of excessive noise. Noise is a pollutant that can seriously impair one's
hearing as well as cause temporary and, sometimes, permanent loss.
It is our understanding that your program under the Older Americans Act and the State Aging Law
is directed to finding suitable situations for older Americans in helping them to find useful, productive
employment. It is also our understanding that your program emphasizes projects that contribute to the
betterment of the community.
In this regard, we would like to suggest a partnership between our agencies in conducting a noise
survey for Morgan County utilizing the talents of older Americans. The results of the survey will be sub-
mitted at the next County Council meeting next spring in order to promote more stringent noise standards
for Morgan County. We feel that this is a community service project in Which our County's older Ameri-
cans can play a critical role. The taking of the survey itself will last approximately four months and will
require ten part-time persons to conduct. It is not a physically taxing project and requires a minimum of
in-service training and orientation.
I would be happy to visit with you and your staff in order to discuss the matter more fully at your
earliest convenience. Should you desire additional information in writing, we would be happy to provide
it.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and we look forward to hearing from you in the near
future.
Sincerely,
Robert H. Flannigan, Chief
Noise Control Section

COOPERATIVE EDUCATION
Dr. Lionel G. Parsons, Dean of Students
Maryville Community College
4405 East Grand Boulevard
Maryville, Texas 76777
Dear Dr. Parsons:
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) of the City of Maryville, is responsible for
carrying out the provisions of the local noise ordinance as well as the applicable provision of the State
Noise Control Act of 1975. These enactments are designed to protect the health and well being of the
people of Maryville from the adverse effects of excessive noise. Noise is a pollutant that can seriously
impair one's hearing permanently and cause temporary loss of audio ability.
Presently, this office is preparing to conduct a noise survey, the results of which will be submitted
to the city fathers at the next meeting of the city council. The purpose of our submission will be to
request more stringent noise standards for the city of Maryville. In this regard, we are in need of qualified
personnel to carry out the survey. We understand that Maryville Community College is operating a
cooperative education program in which students alternate periods of academic study with periods of pub-
lic and private agency employment. Is is possible for DEP to develop a cooperative education program
with your College? We are seeking ways to expand our small staff and enhance our program while, at the
same time, providing valuable work experiences for interested individuals.
We also understand that Federal and State funds might be made available to local cooperative educa-
tion programs; and in that regard, we would like to suggest a partnership between Maryville Community
College and DEP for opportunities for approximately ten students per semester with a high likelihood of
retaining some of those individuals once they have completed their academic work.
I would be happy to visit with you or your staff in the event you feel we could develop a program
of cooperative education which could benefit all concerned.
Sincerely,
Harry M. Larson, Director

STATE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AGENCY
Dr. John J. Mackin, Director
Bureau of Occupational & Adult Education
State Department of Education
State Capitol, State 66666
Dear Dr. Mackin:
The Noise Control Division of the State Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is responsible
for carrying out the provisions of the State Noise Act of 1975 which is designed to protect the health and
well being of the people of the State from the potential dangers of excessive noise. Noise has a very serious
impact on the quality of life in the State and its municipalities. In our attempts to carry out the law and
to ensure enforcement of the statute, we have determined that there are serious shortfalls in the number
of skilled individuals available to local agencies for noise abatement and control programs.
It is our understanding that the Bureau of Occupational and Adult Education is concerned that those
persons educated and trained within the vocational schools in the State are given marketable skills for jobs
that presently exist and that are commensurate with the training levels of the vocational graduates.
With this in mind, we would like to suggest that there exists an opportunity for our agencies to
assist each other in the achievement of our respective goals and objectives. More specifically, we have
determined that a critical shortage exists in the number of subprofessional technicians with the qualifica-
tions necessary to effectively carry out the State law and comply with local ordinances. Further, we feel
that local police forces are in need of short-course training in the procedures relating to the enforcement
of the statute and ordinances. Given these deficiencies, we feel that it is incumbent on us to seek the
assistance of the Bureau of Occupational and Adult Education.
Therefore, we would like any information you have on: 1) the possibility of establishing a sub-
professional training program for noise pollution control, 2) the potential for developing a short course on
enforcement for police officers, and 3) ways we can ensure that there is a steady supply of qualified
individuals for employment in noise pollution control. In this regard, I would be happy to visit you at
your earliest convenience in order to provide you with additional information in greater detail. I feel cer-
tain that, after reviewing our data and findings, you will agree that there needs to be some response to
present conditions which hinder proper implementation and enforcement of the noise laws.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We are looking forward to hearing from you in the
near future.
Sincerely,
Michael G. Thompson, Director
Noise Control Division, DEQ

CETA PRIME SPONSOR
Ms. Charlene Jacobs, Director
Department of Human Services
City of Hawkins
City Hall
Hawkins, Mississippi 54455
Dear Ms. Jacobs:
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) of the City of Hawkins is responsible for
carrying out the applicable provisions of the State Noise Control Act of 1976. The law has been designed
to protect the health and well being of the people of the city of Hawkins from the potential dangers and
hazards of excessive noise. Noise is a pollutant that can seriously impair one's hearing as well as cause
temporary and permanent hearing loss.
We have been requested by the city council to undertake a noise survey of the city of Hawkins by
April 1978. The results of the survey will be used to develop a local noise ordinance for submission to the
city council for consideration. While undertaking this project, we feel that we do not possess the supply
of qualified personnel to effectively and expeditiously carry out the survey.
It is our understanding that your office administers the municipal Training and Employment Pro-
gram authorized by the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973 and that you are the Prirnp
Sponsor for the city of Hawkins designated by the Secretary of Labor. It is also our understanding that
Titles II and VI are Public Employment Programs which could be a source of personnel with which we
can carry out the request of the city council.
While we are experiencing a labor shortage, we anticipate that our FY 1979 budget will contain
funds for four additional positions in this office. With that in mind, we would like to suggest that a
mutually beneficial program be developed between our agencies that will provide us with the temporary
assistance we need in conducting the noise survey and will, hopefully, allow us to retain as many of the
referrals we can as our new budget comes into effect.
I would be happy to meet with you and your staff to pursue the matter should you feel that you
can be of assistance to us at this time. If you need any additional information, I would be happy to
provide it.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and we look forward to hearing from you in the near
future.
Sincerely,
Thomas Y. Allen, Director
Department of Environmental Protection
