DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service


Concession Contracts; 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 expired 
concession contracts for a period of up to one year, or until such time 
as new contracts are executed, whichever occurs sooner.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All of the listed concession authorizations 
expired by their terms on December 31, 2003. 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.
