[NPS-WASO-CONC-26525; PPWOBSADC0, PPMVSCS1Y.Y00000]


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

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 
table below until the date shown in the ``Extension Date'' column, 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 one temporary concession contract as described below.

DATES: The National Park Service intends for the extensions and 
temporary concession contract to commence on January 1, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kurt Rausch, Acting 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 table below will expire by their terms on or before December 
31, 2018. The National Park Service intends to extend the concession 
contracts shown until the specific date shown in the ``Extension Date'' 
column, or until the effective date of a new concession contract, 
whichever occurs first. For the second table, the contract is extended 
until the date shown in the ``Extension Date'' column. Under the 
provisions of current concession contracts, the National Park Service 
authorizes extension of visitor services for the listed contracts 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 National Park Service has 
determined the proposed extensions 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 third table shows concession contracts for 
which the National Park Service intends to award temporary concession 
contracts to qualified persons under the authority of 36 CFR 51.24(a), 
for a term not to exceed 3 years. The NPS intends for the temporary 
concession contracts to commence as of the specific dates shown in the 
``Effective Date'' column. This notice is not a request for proposals.
