may apply for permits to establish and maintain vending facilities, 
including both vending stands and machines, to be operated by blind 
persons licensed by the State agencies. Application for a permit shall 
be made, in writing, by the State licensing agency to the head of the 
Interior bureau or office having control of the property in question. In 
the regulations in this part the term ``head of the Interior bureau or 
office'' includes the authorized representatives of that bureau or 
office.
    (b) The head of the Interior bureau or office may deny an 
application if he determines that the issuance of a permit would unduly 
inconvenience the bureau or office or adversely affect the interests of 
the United States. Such determination shall be in writing and shall 
state the reasons on which it is based. The fact that a permit will be 
without charge for rent shall not constitute a basis for denying an 
application.
    (c) In considering applications for permits, due regard shall be 
given to the terms of any existing contractual arrangements.
