[Federal Register: December 23, 2002 (Volume 67, Number 246)] [Notices] [Page 78239-78240] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr23de02-60] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Concession Contracts and Permits: Expiring Contracts; Extension for Up to One Year AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. ACTION: Public notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: Pursuant to 36 CFR 51.23, public notice is here by given that the National Park Service proposes to extend the following expiring concession contracts until December 31, 2003, or until such time as a new contract is awarded, whichever occurs sooner. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All of the listed concession authorizations will expire by their terms on or before December 31, 2002. The National Park Service has determined that the proposed short-term extensions are necessary in order to avoid interruption of visitor services and has taken all reasonable and appropriate steps to consider alternatives to avoid such interruption. These extensions will allow the National Park Service to develop prospectuses leading to the competitive selection of concessioners for new long-term concession contracts covering these operations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Concessioner ID No. Concessioner name Park ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CABR001.....................
