SUMMARY: Pursuant to 36 CFR part 51, public notice is hereby given that 
the National Park Service proposes to award a temporary concession 
contract for continuation of visitor reservations and cabin rental in 
the Great Island cabin area on South Core Banks (Banks), Cape Lookout 
National Seashore and ferry service to and from the community of Davis,

[[Page 10256]]

CFR 51.3. Following termination of the prior concession contract at 
Great Island Camps on December 31, 2004, the National Park Service 
awarded a temporary concession contract to Morris Marina Kabin Kamps 
and Ferry Service, Inc., on May 15, 2005, that expires on December 31, 
2006. A new concession contract cannot be awarded in time to avoid the 
interruption of visitor services during the 2007 operating season. The 
National Park Service has taken all reasonable and necessary steps to 
consider alternatives to avoid interruption of visitor services, and 
has determined that this award is necessary to avoid interruption of 
visitor services.
    This action is issued pursuant to 36 CFR 51.24(a). This is not a 
request for proposals and no prospectus is being issued at this time. 
The Director intends to issue a prospectus in 2007 to allow the 
competitive award of a long-term concession contract that will be 
effective prior to the 2008 season for visitor reservations and cabin 
rental in the Great Island cabin area on South Core Banks (Banks), Cape 
Lookout National Seashore and ferry service to and from the community 
of Davis, North Carolina to the Banks. You may be placed on a mailing 
list for receiving information regarding the prospectus by sending a 
written request to the above address.

    Dated: February 20, 2007.
Katherine H. Stevenson,
Assistant Director, Business Services.
