Notice of Intent To Issue a Temporary of Concession Lodging, 
Campground, Food and Beverage Sevices, Merchandise, Gas Services, Boat 
Tours and Employee Housing at Crater Lake National Park

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National Park Service Concessions Management 
Improvement Act of 1998, notice is hereby given that the National Park 
Service intends to issue a temporary concession contract authorizing 
continued operation of lodging, campground, food and beverage services, 
merchandise, gas services, boat Tours and Employee Housing within 
Crater Lake National Park. The temporary concession contract will be 
for a term of one year. This short-term concession contract is 
necessary to avoid interruption of visitor services while negotiations 
for the purchase of possessory interest and personal property is 
conducted between the previous concessioner and the newly selected 
concessioner. This short-term contract will be for a one-year operating 
period beginning April 1, 2002 and ending March 30, 2003. This notice 
is in pursuant to 36 CFR part 51, section 51.24(a).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The previous long-term concession contract 
at Crater Lake National Park expired on October 31, 2001. Under the 
solicitation and selection process pursuant to 36 CFR part 51 a new 
concessioner has been selected to provide commercial services under a 
new long-term concession contract. Negotiations for the purchasing of 
possessory interest and personal property have not resolved between the 
previous concessioner and the newly selected concessioner. Before the 
new long-term concession contract can be awarded, negotiations for the 
purchasing of possessory interest and personal property must be 
resolved. In order to avoid the interruption of commercial services to 
the public a short-term concession contract will allow for this action 
to take place to avoid a long-term delay in service to the public.
    Information about this notice can be sought from: National Park 
Service, Chief, Concession Program Management Office, Pacific West 
Region, Attn: Mr. Tony Sisto, 1111 Jackson Street, Suite 700, Oakland, 
California 94607, or call (510) 817-1369.

    Dated: March 8, 2002.
John J. Reynolds,
Regional Director, Pacific West Region.
