## Abstract

Section 636 of the Department of the Treasury's Appropriations Act, Pub. L. 104-52, requires the Secretary of the Treasury to promulgate regulations that restrict the sale of tobacco products in vending machines and the distribution of free samples of tobacco products in any Federal building under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Treasury. Section 636 permits the Secretary to designate areas not subject to these prohibitions, if such areas also prohibit the presence of minors.
