(a) Authorization
For the purposes of providing blind persons with remunerative
employment, enlarging the economic opportunities of the blind, and
stimulating the blind to greater efforts in striving to make
themselves self-supporting, blind persons licensed under the
provisions of this chapter shall be authorized to operate vending
facilities on any Federal property.
(b) Preferences regulations; justification for limitation on
operation
In authorizing the operation of vending facilities on Federal
property, priority shall be given to blind persons licensed by a
State agency as provided in this chapter; and the Secretary,
through the Commissioner, shall, after consultation with the
Administrator of General Services and other heads of departments,
agencies, or instrumentalities of the United States in control of
the maintenance, operation, and protection of Federal property,
prescribe regulations designed to assure that -
(1) the priority under this subsection is given to such
licensed blind persons (including assignment of vending machine
income pursuant to section 107d-3 of this title to achieve and
protect such priority), and
(2) wherever feasible, one or more vending facilities are
established on all Federal property to the extent that any such
facility or facilities would not adversely affect the interests
of the United States.
Any limitation on the placement or operation of a vending facility
based on a finding that such placement or operation would adversely
affect the interests of the United States shall be fully justified
in writing to the Secretary, who shall determine whether such
limitation is justified. A determination made by the Secretary
pursuant to this provision shall be binding on any department,
agency, or instrumentality of the United States affected by such
determination. The Secretary shall publish such determination,
along with supporting documentation, in the Federal Register.
