AGENCY:
National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION:
Public notice.
SUMMARY:

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 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. The temporary contracts will have a term not to exceed 3 years and will be awarded to a qualified person. The National Park Service anticipates that the temporary contracts 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.
