Manager, National Park Service, Washington, DC 20240, Telephone 202/
513-7156.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to 36 CFR 51.24, public notice is hereby given that 
the National Park Service proposes to award a temporary concession 
contract for the conduct of retail services (``Services'') available to 
the public visiting Pinnacles National Monument, California for a term 
not to exceed 16 months. The visitor services include the operation of 
a small convenience/grocery store. This action is necessary to avoid 
interruption of visitor services.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The temporary concession contract is 
proposed to be awarded to Damm Bros. Company, a qualified person. The 
store is currently operated under TC-PINN001-06, a contract that 
includes the operation of the adjacent campground. The owner of the 
current concession under TC-PINN001-06 has become ill and must 
terminate his contract before its original expiration date of March 15, 
2008. Upon termination of TC-PINN001-06, the National Park Service will 
begin to operate the campground. However, the store will be operated 
under temporary concession contract TC-PINN001-08.
    The National Park Service has determined that a temporary contract 
is necessary in order to avoid interruption of visitor services and has 
taken all reasonable and appropriate steps to consider alternatives to 
avoid an interruption of visitor services.
    This action is issued pursuant to 36 CFR 51.24(a). This is not a 
request for proposals.

    Dated: March 21, 2008.
Daniel N. Wenk,
Deputy Director, National Park Service.
