Concessions Contracts and Permits

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 contract for a period of 3 years.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 1, 2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The listed concession authorization will 
expire by its terms on March 31, 2004. The National Park Service has 
determined that the proposed 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 and 
issue a prospectus leading to the competitive selection of a 
concessioner for a new long-term concession contract covering this 
operation.
