DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

[NPS-WASO-CONC-32568; PPWOBSADC0, PPMVSCS1Y.Y00000]


Notice of Intent To Extend and Continue Concession Contracts and 
Award Temporary Concession Contracts

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Public notice.

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

SUMMARY: The National Park Service gives public notice that, pursuant 
to the terms of the concession contracts identified in the tables 
below, as applicable, and in accordance with NPS regulations, it 
intends to: (1) Extend each concession contract listed in Table 1 until 
the date shown in the ``Extension Date'' column or until the effective 
date of a new contract, whichever comes first; (2) continue each 
concession contract listed in Table 2 for a period not to exceed one 
year beginning on January 1, 2022; and (3) award the temporary 
concession contracts listed in Table 3.

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

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 
below will expire by their terms on or before October 31, 2022. Under 
36 CFR 51.23, the National Park Service proposes to extend each 
contract until the date shown in the ``Extension 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 contracts.
    The concession contracts listed in Table 2 below have been extended 
for the maximum time allowable under 36 CFR 51.23. Under the provisions 
of the existing contracts and pending the issuance of prospectuses and 
the completion of the public solicitation process to award new 
concession contracts, the National Park Service intends to continue the 
existing contracts for a period not to exceed one year beginning on 
January 1, 2022. Except for their expiration dates, the terms and 
conditions of the existing contracts will remain unchanged. The 
continuation of the existing contracts does not confer or affect any 
rights with respect to the award of new concession contracts.
    The National Park Service proposes awarding temporary concession 
contracts, in accordance with 36 CFR 51.24(a), to provide the visitor 
services currently provided under the contracts listed in Table 3 
below. Each temporary contract will have a term not to exceed three 
years, and each will be awarded to a qualified person. The National 
Park Service anticipates that the temporary contracts will be effective 
on the dates shown in the ``Effective Date'' column. 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, 
continue, or award any of the contracts listed below.

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