Public Notice

On November 13, 1998, the National Park Service Concessions Management Improvement Act of 1998 was signed into law, repealing the National Park Service Concessions Policy Act (16 U.S.C. 20 et seq.). The new legislation requires substantive changes in the manner in which the National Park Service awards concession contracts and permits, as well as changed in the terms and conditions of future concession contracts and permits. As a result of the new legislation, the Nation Park Service is cancelling all outstanding solicitations for concession contracts and permits. The only statutory exception to this cancellation is the prospectus issued February 19, 1998, under which concession permits will be open for competition for the operation of cruise ship services within Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. The cancellation applies to all concession contracting or permitting actions that have not been executed on behalf of the National Park Service prior to November 13, 1998, except as provided above.
