Notice of Intent To Reissue a Prospectus for Operation of a 
Gasoline Service Station at Yosemite National Park

SUMMARY: The National Park Service will shortly release a concession 
Prospectus seeking operation of a gasoline service station adjacent to 
the west entrance of Yosemite National Park on Highway 140. The 
operation is to be located at the park's administrative site at the 
community of El Portal. An existing operation has one service bay for 
minor car repair and lubrication service. Sales consist of automotive 
gasoline, oil, propane, lubricants, batteries, tires and other related

automobile supplies. The operation is year-round with the peak season 
during the summer months. The annual gross receipts are about $440,000. 
The recent removal of the Yosemite Valley gasoline station should 
increase the sales of this station. The new contract will be for 
approximately eight (8) years expiring December 31, 2006. The new 
operator will be required to install new gasoline storage tank(s) prior 
to operation and in accordance with the applicable law. There is an 
existing concessioner which may submit an offer but has no right of 
preference in renewal. The current building is the personal property of 
the existing concessioner and may be available for purchase. The new 
operator will be responsible for removal of old gasoline storage tanks 
and piping and, if necessary, contamination cleanup. This opportunity 
has been advertised previously. No satisfactory offers were received 
including from the existing concessioner. Offers will be accepted for 
30 days following the release of the Prospectus which is expected in 
the week of September 21, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The cost for purchasing a Prospectus is 
$30.00. Parties interested in obtaining a copy should send a check (NO 
CASH) made payable to ``National Park Service'' to the following 
address: National Park Service, Pacific Great Basin Support Office, 
Office of Concession Program Management, 600 Harrison Street, Suite 
600, San Francisco, California 94107-1372. Tax Identification Numbers 
(TIN) OR your Social Security Number (SSN) MUST be provided on your
