Public Notice

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Public notice.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 36 CFR 51.23, public notice is hereby given that 
the National Park Service proposes to extend the following expiring 
concession contracts for a period of up to one year, or until such time 
as a new contract is executed, whichever occurs sooner.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All of the listed concession authorizations 
will expire by their terms on or before December 31, 2002. The National 
Park Service has determined that the proposed short-term extensions are 
necessary in order to avoid interruption of visitor services and has 
taken all reasonable and appropriate steps to consider alternatives to 
avoid such interruption. These extensions will allow the National Park 
Service to complete and issue prospectuses leading to the competitive 
selection of concessioners for new long-term concession contracts 
covering these operations.
