National Park Service Withdraws E-Cigarette Rule

From CASAA;

The National Park Service (NPS) has withdrawn its proposed rule that would add vapor products to the existing regulation that allows superintendents to prohibit smoking in locations and areas at their discretion.  Although this may be regarded as a positive move by the NPS, the agency states that “[t]he withdrawal is based upon a need to engage in additional interagency coordination and review of the proposal.” There will likely be opportunities to comment on proposed rules regarding the use of vapor products in the future from the NPS and other agencies within the Department of the Interior.
