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

[[Page 63796]]

concession contract listed in table 1 below until the date shown in the
``Extension Date'' column or until the effective date of a new
contract, whichever comes first; continue each concession contract
listed in table 2 for a period not to exceed one year beginning on
January 1, 2023; award the temporary concession contracts listed in
table 3 below.

DATES: The National Park Service intends that the concession contract
extensions, continuations, 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: The concession contracts listed in table 1
below will expire by their terms on or before October 31, 2023. Under
36 CFR 51.23 the National Park Service proposes to extend each contract
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 for a period not to exceed one year beginning on
January 1, 2023. 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.
