[NPS-WASO-CONC-24213; PPWOBSADC0, PPMVSCS1Y.Y00000]


Notice of Extension of Concession Contracts and Intent To Award 
Temporary Concession Contracts

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Public notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Park Service hereby gives public notice that it 
proposes to extend the expiring concession contracts listed in the 
tables below for the period specified, or until the effective date of a 
new contract, whichever occurs sooner. The National Park Service hereby 
gives public notice that it intends to award two temporary concession 
contracts as described below.

DATES: The extension commences on January 1, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Borda, Program Chief, Commercial 
Services Program, National Park Service, 1849 C Street NW, Mail Stop 
2410, Washington, DC 20240, Telephone: 202-513-7156.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All of the concession contracts listed in 
the first two tables below will expire by their terms on or before 
December 31, 2018. The National Park Service has determined the 
proposed extensions and temporary contracts are necessary to avoid 
interruption of visitor services and has taken all reasonable and 
appropriate steps to consider alternatives to avoid such interruption. 
The publication of this notice merely reflects the intent of the 
National Park Service and does not bind the National Park Service to 
extend or award any of the contracts listed below.
    The information in the first table shows concession contracts 
extended until December 31, 2018, or until the effective date of a new 
concession contract, whichever occurs first. The information in the 
second table shows concession contracts extended until the specific 
date shown in that table, or until the effective date of a new 
concession contract, whichever occurs first. Under the provisions of 
current concession contracts, the National Park Service authorizes 
extension of visitor services for the contracts below under the terms 
and conditions of the current contract (as amended if applicable). The 
extension of operations does not affect any rights with respect to 
selection for award of a new concession contract.
    The information in the third table shows two concession contracts 
for

[[Page 8702]]

which the National Park Service intends to award temporary concession 
contracts to qualified persons under the authority of 36 CFR 51.24(a), 
each such contract not to exceed three years. This notice is not a 
request for proposals.
