Correction; Grand Canyon National Park; Concession Contract for 
Operation of Accommodations, Facilities, and Services at Grand Canyon 
National Park (South Rim)

CORRECTION: In notice document 98-15128, appearing on pages 31228-
31229, in the issue of Monday, June 8, 1998, the SUPPLEMENTARY 
INFORMATION is corrected to read as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY 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.
    The existing concessioner has performed its obligation to the 
satisfaction of the Secretary under an existing contract, which expires 
by limitation of time on December 31, 1998. Therefore, pursuant to the 
provisions of Section 5 of the Act of October 9, 1965 (79 Stat. 969; 16 
U.S.C. 20), the concessioner is entitled to be given preference in the 
renewal of the contract and in the award of a new contract, providing 
that the existing concessioner submits a responsive offer (a timely 
offer which meets the terms and conditions of the Prospectus). This 
means that the contract will be awarded to the party submitting the 
best offer, provided that if the best offer was not submitted by the 
existing concessioner, then the existing concessioner will be afforded 
the opportunity to match the best offer. If the existing concessioner 
agrees to match the best offer, then the contract will be awarded to 
the existing concessioner.
    If the existing concessioner does not submit a responsive offer, 
the right of preference in renewal shall be considered to have been 
waived, and the contract will then be awarded to the party that has 
submitted the best responsive offer.
    The Secretary will consider and evaluate all offers received as a 
result of this notice. Any offer, including that of the existing 
concessioner, must be received by the Regional Director, Intermountain 
Region, P.O. Box 25287, Denver, Colorado 80225-0287 (street address: 
12795 West Alameda Parkway, Lakewood, Colorado 80228); no later than 
one hundred and twenty (120) days following release of the Prospectus 
to be considered and evaluated.

    Dated: July 7, 1998.
Michael D. Snyder,
Acting Director, Intermountain Region.
