DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service


Voyageurs National Park, MN; Historic Resort Hotel and Villas 
Operations

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Public notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Public notice is hereby given that the National Park Service 
proposes to award a concession contract authorizing continued operation 
of historic resort hotel and villas, with food service, boat portaging, 
and water-related services for the public at Voyageurs National Park, 
Minnesota, for a period of approximately ten (10) years from January 1, 
1996, through December 31, 2005.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 1, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties should contact the Superintendent, 
Voyageurs National Park, 3131 Highway 53 South, International Falls, 
Minnesota 56649, to obtain a copy of the prospectus describing the 
requirements of the proposed contract.

SUPPLEMENARY INFORMATION: This contract renewal has been determined to 
be categorically excluded from the procedural provisions of the 
National Environmental Policy Act and no environmental document will be 
prepared. There was an existing concessioner for this operation under a 
previous contract which expired on October 8, 1995, but that 
concessioner is not entitled to a right of preference in the 
negotiation of the new contract. This means that the contract will be 
awarded to the party submitting the best offer.
    The Secretary will consider and evaluate all proposals received as 
a result of this notice. All proposals must be received by the 
Superintendent not later than the sixtieth (60) day following 
publication of this notice to be considered and evaluated.

    Dated: December 12, 1995.
William W. Schenk,
Field Director, Midwest Region.
