whichever occurs sooner:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Borda, Chief, Commercial 
Services Program, National Park Service, 1201 Eye Street NW., 5th 
Floor, Washington, DC 20005, Telephone: 202-513-7156.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The listed concession contract will expire 
by its terms on October 31, 2016. The National Park Service has 
determined the proposed short-term extension necessary to avoid 
interruption of visitor services and has taken all reasonable and 
appropriate steps to consider alternatives to avoid such interruption. 
The National Park Service considered issuing a temporary concession 
contract, but deemed that alternative impractical given the time 
constraints and likelihood it would not increase competition. Under the 
provisions of the current concession

contract and pending the completion of the public solicitation of a 
prospectus for a new concession contract, the National Park Service 
authorizes the extension of visitor services under the terms and 
conditions of the current contract as amended. The extension of 
operations does not affect any rights with respect to selection for 
award of a new concession contract. The publication of this notice 
merely reflects the intent of the National Park Service but does not 
bind the National Park Service to extend the contract identified above.

    Dated: August 11, 2016.

Chief Financial Officer.
