[NPS-WASO-CONC-30740; PPWOBSADC0, PPMVSCS1Y.Y00000]


Notice of Intent to Extend Concession Contracts and Award 
Temporary Concession Contracts

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Public Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The National Park Service gives public notice that it proposes 
to extend each concession contract listed in the Table 1 below until 
the date shown in the ``Extension Expiration Date'' column or until the 
effective date of a new contract, whichever comes first. The National 
Park Service also gives public notice that it proposes to award the 
temporary concession contracts listed in Table 2 below.

DATES: The National Park Service intends that the concession contract 
extensions and temporary concession contracts will be effective on the 
dates shown in the ``Extension Effective Date'' and ``Effective Date'' 
columns, respectively.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The concession contracts listed in Table 1

[[Page 84366]]

below will expire by their terms on or before October 31, 2021. Under 
36 CFR 51.23 the National Park Service proposes to extend each contract 
until the date shown in the ``Extension Expiration Date'' column or 
until the effective date of a new contract, whichever comes first. The 
National Park Service has determined that the proposed extensions are 
necessary to avoid an interruption of visitor services and has taken 
all reasonable and appropriate steps to consider alternatives to avoid 
such an interruption. The extension of the existing contracts does not 
confer or affect any rights with respect to the award of new concession 
contracts.
    Under 36 CFR 51.24(a) the National Park Service proposes to award a 
temporary concession contract, for a term not to exceed three years, to 
a qualified person to provide the visitor services currently provided 
under each contract listed in Table 2 below. The National Park Service 
has determined that the proposed award of a temporary contract is 
necessary to avoid an interruption of visitor services and has taken 
all reasonable and appropriate steps to consider alternatives to avoid 
such an interruption. The National Park Service intends that the 
temporary contract will be effective on the dates shown in the 
``Effective Date'' column below. This notice is not a request for 
proposals.
    The publication of this notice reflects the intent of the National 
Park Service but does not bind the National Park Service to extend or 
award any of the contracts listed in the tables below.

   Table 1--Concession Contracts Extended Until the Date Shown or Until the Effective Date of a New Contract,
                                              Whichever Comes First
