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 the terms of existing concession permits, with the 
exception of construction on National Park Service lands, public notice 
is hereby given that the National Park Service intends to provide 
visitor services under the authority of a temporary concession contract 
with a term of up to one year from the date of permit expirations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The permits listed below have been extended 
to the maximum allowable under 36 CFR 51.23. Under the provisions of 
current concession permits, with one exception, and pending the 
development and public solicitation of a prospectus for a new 
concession permit, the National Park Service authorizes continuation of 
visitor services under a temporary concession contract for a period of 
up to one year from the expiration of the current concession permit. 
The exception precludes construction on National Park Service lands, 
regardless of whether the current permit authorizes such activity. The 
temporary contract does not affect any rights with respect to selection 
for award of a new concession contract.
