Notice of the Intention To Extend an Existing Concession 
Contract--Scotty's Castle, Death Valley National Park

SUMMARY: Notice of given that the National Park Service intends to 
extend the concession contract at Scotty's Castle, Death Valley 
National Park for a period as long as three years so that necessary 
planning can be completed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The concession contract at Scotty's Castle 
will expire on December 31, 1995, unless extended. The National Park 
Service will not renew this contract for an extended period until 
sufficient planning can be conducted to determine the future direction 
for concession services at the Scotty's Castle site. The necessary 
planning may affect the future of the concession. The planning process 
may take as long as two to three years to complete. Until that planning 
is completed, it will not be in the best interest of Death Valley 
National Park to enter into a long term concession contract for 
services at the Scotty's Castle site. For these reasons, it is the 
intention of the National Park Service to extend the current contract 
for a period of up to three years beginning January 1, 1996. The 
extension will be effective for a lesser period should planning issues 
be resolved and a renewal process be conducted and result in a 
selection. Benefits accruing to the Government under the current 
contract are currently under renegotiation.
    Information about this notice can be sought from: Administrative 
Officer, Death Valley National Park, Attn: Ms. Marian O'Dea, Death 
Valley National Park, Death Valley, CA 92328, or call: [phone].

    Dated: July 11, 1995.
Stanley T. Albright,
Regional Director, Western Region.
