Notice of Temporary Concession Contracts for Certain Visitor 
Services in Acadia National Park

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The National Park Service intends to award two temporary 
concession contracts to a qualified person for the conduct of certain 
visitor services within Acadia National Park for a term not to exceed 3 
years. The visitor services include guided bus tours.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judy Bassett, Northeast Regional 
Concession Chief, Northeast Region, 200 Chestnut Street, Suite 502, 
Philadelphia, PA 19106; Telephone (215) 597-4903, by email at 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Park Service intends to award 
each contract to a concessioner currently operating under a long-term 
concessions contract. If the National Park Service is unable to reach 
acceptable terms, however, it may find other qualified persons for the 
award of each of the temporary contracts. The National Park Service has 
determined that the issuance of temporary concession contracts not to 
exceed 3 years is necessary to avoid interruption of visitor services 
and has taken all reasonable and appropriate steps to consider 
alternatives to avoid an interruption of visitor services in accordance 
with 36 CFR 51.24.

    Authority: This action is issued pursuant to 36 CFR 51.24(a). 
This is not a request for proposals.

    Dated: November 1, 2016.
Michael Reynolds,
Deputy Director, Operations.
