National Park Service


Intention To Extend an Existing Concession Contract--Muir Woods 
National Monument

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Act of October 9, 1965 (79 Stat. 969; 16 
U.S.C. 20 et seq.), notice is given that the National Park Service 
intends to extend the concession contract at Muir Woods National 
Monument for a period of three years. This extension is necessary to 
allow the continuation of public services during the completion period 
of the planning documents for the park. The current concessioner has 
performed its obligation to the satisfaction of the Secretary and 
therefore has a statutory preference in renewal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The concession contract at Muir Woods 
National Monument will expire on December 31, 1995, unless extended. 
The National Park Service will not renew this contract for an extended 
period until planning can be conducted to determine the future 
direction for concession services at Muir Woods National Monument. The 
necessary planning process is expected to begin shortly and will affect 
the future of the concession. The planning process is expected to take 
two to three years to complete. Until that planning process is 
completed, it will not be in the best interest of Muir Woods National 
Monument to enter into a long term concession contract. For these 
reasons, it is the intention of the National Park Service to extend the 
current contract for a period of three years beginning January 1, 1996. 
Benefits accruing to the government under this contract were 
renegotiated in 1994.
    Information about this notice can be sought from: Business Manager, 
Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Attention: Robert Kates, Building 
201, Fort Mason, San Francisco, California 94123, or call: (415) 556-
3104.

    Dated: May 25, 1995.
Patty Neubacher,
Acting Regional Director, Western Region.
