implement the Prohibition of Cigarette Sales to Minors in Federal

vending machines and the distribution of free tobacco samples on 
Federal property.

DATES: Effective Date: This regulation will be effective October 22, 
1996.

ADDRESSES: Secretary to the Board, Railroad Retirement Board, 844 Rush

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board conducts its business in real 
property owned or leased by the General Services Administration. All 
property occupied or reserved for Board use must comply with Public Law 
104-52. This law provides that tobacco products may not be sold in 
vending machines and free samples of tobacco products may not be 
distributed in or around property occupied and maintained by the Board. 
The Board will permit the sale of tobacco products to individuals 18 
and older by staffed concession stands on property occupied and 
maintained by the Board.
    The agency has determined that this is not a significant regulatory 
action for purposes of Executive Order 12866; therefore, no regulatory 
impact analysis is required. There are no information collections 
associated with this rule.
    The Board published this rule as an interim final rule on March 4, 
1996 (61

received. Accordingly, the interim final rule is adopted as a final 
rule without change.

    For the Board,
Beatrice Ezerski,
Secretary to the Board.
