Service intends to extend the following concession permits. These

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 issue a concession contract at Grand Teton National Park with a term
of three years. This short term contract is necessary to allow the
continuation of public services during the completion period of
planning documents for Grand Teton National Park. The current
concessioner has performed its obligation to the satisfaction of the
Secretary of Interior and retains its right of preference under this
administration action.
EFFECTIVE DATE: On or before July 10, 1997, a notice will be published
in the Commerce Business Daily. Anyone interested in making an offer

Attention: Judy Jennings, National Park Service, 12795 West Alameda
Parkway, P.O. Box 25287, Denver, Colorado, 80225-0287, or call: (303)
969-2661.
The following concession permit will be extended for one year: Rex
G. Maughan and Ruth G. Maughan d/b/a/ Signal Mountain Lodge, CP-
GRTE050-91.
The following concession permits will be extended for two years:
Great Salt Lake Council, Inc. d/b/a Boy Scouts of America, LP-GRTE043-
91
Lost Creek Ranch, LP-GRTE040-91
C-H Corporation, LP-GRTE045-91
Gros Ventre River Ranch, LP-GRTE046-92
Trail Creek, LP-GRTE037-91
Concession contract CC-GRTE003-66 has expired. The National Park
Service will not renew this contract for an extended period until
planning can be completed to determine the future direction of
concession services at Grand Teton National Park. This necessary
planning process has begun and will have a direct affect on future
concession activities. Included in this planning process is the
development of a commercial services plan. It is anticipated that the
park commercial services plan will be completed in 1999. Until planning
is completed, it is not in the best interest of the park to enter into
a long term concession contract. For these reasons, it is the intention
of the National Park Service to issue a short term contract at this
time, complete the planning process then conduct a public solicitation
and selection of a concessioner for a longer contract period.
Dated: May 22, 1997.
John E. Cook,
Director, Intermountain Region.
