PART 13--VENDING FACILITIES OPERATED BY BLIND PERSONS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 13.4  Terms of permit.

    Every permit shall describe the location of the vending facilities 
and shall be subject to the following provisions:
    (a) The permit shall be issued in the name of the applicant State 
licensing agency.
    (b) The permit shall be for a definite term, not to exceed five 
years, and shall be without charge for rent.
    (c) The permit may be revoked at any time upon not less than 30 days 
written notice to the permittee from the head of the Interior bureau or 
office having control of the property where the vending facilities are 
located. Such notice shall state the reasons on which it is based.
    (d) Items sold at the vending facilities shall be limited to 
newspapers, periodicals, pre-packaged confections, tobacco products, 
articles dispensed automatically or in containers or wrappings in which 
they are placed before receipt by the vendor, and such other articles as 
may be approved by the head of the Interior bureau or office for each 
location. The head of the Interior bureau or office may require 
discontinuance of sale of any type of article, upon not less than 15 
days' notice in writing.
    (e) Vending facilities shall be operated in compliance with such 
standards of appearance, safety, health, sanitation, and efficiency as 
may be prescribed by the head of the Interior bureau or office. Such 
standards shall conform, so far as practicable with the provisions of 
State laws and regulations, whether or not the property is under the 
exclusive jurisdiction of the United States.
    (f) The permittee shall arrange for the modification or relocation 
of the vending facilities when in the opinion of the head of the 
Interior bureau or office such action is essential to the satisfactory 
maintenance, operation, or use of the property concerned and shall not 
modify or relocate such facilities without such approval. Installation, 
modification, relocation, or removal of vending facilities shall be made 
only under the supervision of the head of the Interior bureau or office 
and without cost to the Department of the Interior. The permittee may be 
required to remove any vending device deemed undesirable by the head of 
the Interior bureau or office. Ownership of vending devices installed by 
the permittee or operator shall remain vested with the installer. All 
extra identifiable costs incurred by the Department of the Interior in 
restoring to its original condition any space vacated by removal or 
relocation of vending facilities shall be reimbursed by the permittee or 
the operator.
    (g) In the event a vending facility is being operated in a manner 
unsatisfactory to the Interior bureau or office,

the permittee will be notified in writing and required to take 
appropriate action to rectify the situation.
    (h) The operator of the vending facility shall carry such insurance 
against losses by fire, public liability, employer's liability, or other 
hazards as is customary among prudent operators of similar businesses 
under comparable circumstances.
