PART 5--OPERATION OF VENDING STANDS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 5.4  Permits.

    (a) No permit, lease, or other arrangement for the operation of a 
vending stand on property under control of the Department shall be 
entered into or renewed without first consulting the State licensing 
agency or equivalent authority.
    (b) The permit shall be conditioned upon the vending stand meeting 
specified standards, including standards relating to appearance, safety, 
sanitation, maintenance, and efficiency of operation. Due regard shall 
be given to laws and regulations for the public welfare which are 
applicable, or would be applicable, if the property involved was not 
owned or controlled by the Federal Government.
    (c) The permit shall specify the types of articles specified in 
section 2(a)(4) of the Act as amended (newspapers, periodicals, 
confections, tobacco products, articles dispensed automatically or in 
containers or wrappings in which they are placed before delivery to the 
vending stand). Such other related articles as the State licensing 
agency asks to be included shall be permitted to be sold, unless such 
factors as inadequacy of available facilities, safety, health, public 
welfare, or legal requirements demand otherwise.
    (d) The permit shall contain a provision that alterations made by 
other than the United States shall be approved by and conducted under 
the supervision of an appropriate official of the Department or the 
primary organization unit concerned.
    (e) The permit may contain other reasonable conditions necessary for 
the protection of the Government and prospective patrons of the stand.
    (f) The permit shall describe the location of the stand proper and 
the location of any vending machines which are operated in conjunction 
with it.
