DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service


Concession Contracts

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior

ACTION: Public notice.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the terms of existing concession permits, with the 
exception of construction on National Park Service lands, public notice 
is hereby given that the National Park Service intends to provide 
visitor services under the authority of a temporary concession contract 
with a term of up to 1 year from the date of permit expiration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the provisions of current concession 
permits, with one exception, and pending the development and public 
solicitation of a prospectus for a new concession permit, the National 
Park Service authorizes continuation of visitor services under a 
temporary concession contract for a period of up to 1 year from the 
expiration of the current concession permit. The exception precludes 
construction on National Park Service lands, regardless of whether the 
current permit authorizes such activity. The temporary contract does 
not affect any rights with respect to selection for award of a new 
concession contract.
