Extension of Concession Contract

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Act of October 9, 1965 (79 STAT. 969; 16 
U.S.C. 20 et seq.), notice is hereby given that the National Park 
Service intends to extend a concession contract. This extension is 
necessary to allow the continuation of public services during the 
completion of the planning for the park. The following concession 
contract will be extended for a period of one year through December 31, 
1998: LIBBEY MEMORIAL PHYSICAL MEDICINE CENTER, CC-HOSP004-88.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This concession contract will expire on or 
before December 31, 1997, unless extended. The National Park Service 
will not renew this contract for an extended period until planning can 
be conducted to determine the future direction for concession services 
at this park. The necessary planning process is expected to begin 
shortly and will affect the future of his concessions. The planning 
process is expected to take one year to complete. Until the planning 
process is completed, it will not be in the best interest of the 
National Park Service to enter into long-term concession contracts and 
permits. For these reasons, it is the intention of the National Park 
Service to extend the current contract for a period of one year, 
beginning on or before January 1, 1998.
