    (a) All motor common carriers of passengers subject to 49 U.S.C. 
subtitle IV, part B, shall prohibit smoking (including the carrying of 
lit cigars, cigarettes, and pipes) on vehicles transporting passengers 
in scheduled or special service in interstate commerce.
    (b) Each carrier shall take such action as is necessary to ensure 
that smoking by passengers, drivers, and other employees is not

appropriate announcements to passengers, the posting of the 
international no-smoking symbol, and the posting of signs in all 
vehicles transporting passengers in letters in sharp color contrast to 
the background, and of such size, shape, and color as to be readily

manner as to remain legible and shall indicate that smoking is 
prohibited by Federal regulation.
    (c) The provisions of paragraph (a) of this section shall not apply 
to charter operations as defined in Sec. 374.503 of this part.
