DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service


Notice; Continuation of Visitor Services

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 concessions authorization will 
expire by its terms on April 14, 2005. The National Park Service has 
determined that the proposed short-term extension is necessary in order 
to avoid interruption of visitor services and had 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.
