Public Notice of Extension

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 up to one year, or until such time 
as a new contract is executed, whichever occurs sooner.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The listed concession authorization will 
expire by its terms on or before December 31, 2003. The National Park 
Service has determined that the proposed short-term 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.
