A U.S. Appeals Court on March 21 upheld the Federal Reserve's rules governing debit card interchange fees, dealing a major blow to retailers who have fought to reduce the transaction fees they are charged when customers swipe a debit card. The ruling reverses a lower court’s decision last year that the Federal Reserve had set the cap on debit card transactions too high.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the Federal Reserve’s interpretation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was reasonable.
In issuing its ruling, the Court said the debit-fee issue put the Federal Reserve and the courts "in a real bind" because the Dodd-Frank amendment that limited the fees was poorly written by Congress.

NACS has issued a statement of position that encourages stores selling e-cigarettes to adopt, as a best practice, a policy of treating these products as age restricted and subjecting them to the same age-verification procedures as those applicable to tobacco products.
NACS’ position was developed by the association’s retail Board of Directors during its most recent meeting. Convenience stores are the largest retail channel for e-cigarette sales, with overall sales of nearly $540 million in 2013, representing 75% of all brick-and mortar sales, excluding kiosks and tobacco only outlets.
