DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service


Concession Contracts and Permits: Expiring Contracts; Extension

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Public notice.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 36 CFR 51.23, notice is hereby given that the 
National Park Service intends to extend the following expiring 
concession contract for a period of up to 3 years, or until such time 
as a new contract is awarded, whichever occurs sooner.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The concession authorization expires on its 
terms in 2002. The National Park Service has determined that the 
proposed 3-year extension is necessary in order to avoid interruption 
of visitor services and has taken all reasonable and appropriate steps 
to consider alternatives to avoid such interruption. This extension 
will allow the National Park Service to complete a Commercial Services 
Plan for a new and expanded concession development, and to develop a 
prospectus leading to competitive selection for a new long-term 
concession contract that will be consistent with the to-be-determined 
decisions of the Commercial Services Plan.
