AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Public Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The National Park Service hereby gives public notice that it 
intends to award 16 temporary outfitter and guide concession contracts 
to qualified persons for the conduct of Guided Interpretive Colorado 
River Trips within Grand Canyon National Park for a term not to exceed 
three years.

DATES: The National Park Service intends for the temporary outfitter 
and guide concession contracts to commence on January 1, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Parker, Chief of Commercial 
Services, NPS Regional Office Serving Interior regions 6, 7, 8, (303) 
969-2661, or by email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Park Service intends to award 
temporary outfitter and guide concession contracts to the concessioners 
currently operating under the following concession contracts: CC-
GRCA006-08, CC-GRCA007-08, CC-GRCA010-08, CC-GRCA011-08, CC-GRCA015-08, 
CC-GRCA016-08, CC-GRCA017-08, CC-GRCA018-08, CC-GRCA020-08, CC-GRCA021-
08, CC-GRCA022-08, CC-GRCA024-08, CC-GRCA025-08, CC-GRCA026-08, CC-
GRCA028-08, CC-GRCA029-08. If the National Park Service is unable to 
reach acceptable terms with a concessioner operating under one of the 
above-listed contracts, the National Park Service may award the 
respective temporary outfitter and guide concession contract to a 
different qualified person. The National Park Service has determined 
that the issuance of temporary outfitter and guide concession contracts 
not to exceed three years is necessary to avoid interruption of visitor 
services and has taken all reasonable and appropriate steps to consider 
alternatives to avoid an interruption of visitor services in accordance 
with 36 CFR 51.24.

    Authority: 54 U.S.C. 101913(11)(a); 36 CFR 51.24(a).

Deputy Director, Management and Administration.
