PART 5--OPERATION OF VENDING STANDS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 5.2  Policy.

    (a) The Department adopts the Federal policy announced in the 
Randolph-Sheppard Vending Stand Act, as amended, to provide blind 
persons with remunerative employment to enlarge the economic 
opportunities of the blind and to stimulate the blind to greater efforts 
in striving to make themselves self-supporting.
    (b) It shall be the policy of the Department to authorize blind 
persons licensed under the provisions of the Randolph-Sheppard Vending 
Stand Act, as amended to operate vending stands without any charge for 
space or necessary utilities on properties owned and occupied by the 
Department or on which the Department controls maintenance, operation, 
and protection.
    (c) The Department will cooperate with the Department of Education 
and State licensing agencies in making surveys to determine whether and 
where vending stands may be properly and profitably operated by licensed 
blind persons.
    (d) The application of a State licensing agency for a permit may be 
denied or revoked if it is determined that the interests of the United 
States would be adversely affected or the Department would be unduly 
inconvenienced by the issuance of a permit or its continuance.
    (e) Disagreements concerning the denial, revocation, or modification 
of a permit may be appealed by the State licensing agency as set forth 
in Sec. 5.6.
