DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

[NPS-WASO-CONC-36347; 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: extend each concession contract listed in 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; 
continue each concession contract listed in Table 2 below until the 
date shown in the ``Continuation Expiration Date'' column or until the 
effective date of a new contract, whichever comes first; and award the 
temporary concession contract listed in Table 3 below.

DATES: The National Park Service intends that the concession contract 
extensions, continuations, and temporary concession contracts will be 
effective on the dates shown in the tables below, 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: Under 36 CFR 51.23 the National Park Service 
proposes to extend each contract listed in Table 1 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 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 until the date shown in the ``Continuation 
Expiration Date'' column or until the effective date of a new contract, 
whichever comes first. 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 a temporary concession 
contract, in accordance with 36 CFR 51.24(a), to provide the visitor 
services currently provided under the contract listed in Table 3 below. 
The temporary contract will have a term not to exceed three years and 
will be awarded to a qualified person. The National Park Service 
anticipates that the temporary contract will be effective on the date 
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.
