Notice of Intent To Extend Concession Contracts at Big South Fork 
National River & Recreation Area and Fire Island National Seashore

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) announces its intent to extend 
the concession contracts identified in the table below for operations 
at Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area and Fire Island 
National Seashore. The NPS will extend each listed contract until the 
``Extension Expiration Date'' column or until a new contract becomes 
effective, whichever occurs first.

DATES: The National Park Service intends that the concession contract 
extensions 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, NPS 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. NPS 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 publication of this notice reflects the intent of the NPS but 
does not bind NPS to extend the contracts listed below.

   Table 1--Concession Contracts Extended Until the Expiration Date Shown or Until the Effective Date of a New
                                         Contract, Whichever Comes First
