M -- NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ISSUE A THREE YEAR CONCESSION CONTRACT-CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK POC Teresa Jackson (415) 427-1369. The National Park Service intends to issue a three year concession contract to follow the contract which will expire on October 31, 1997, at Crater Lake National Park. This action is necessary to avoid interruption of public services during the completion of a visitor services plan and related environmental compliance requirements for the park. The National Park Service does not intend to renew this contract for an extended period until the planning requirements are concluded which will determine the future direction for concession services within Crater Lake National Park. Until then, the park can not begin to develop a Prospectus for a long term contract. For these reasons, it is not in the best interest of Crater Lake National Park to enter into a long term concession contract. It is the intention of the National Park Service to issue a short term contract while planning is being completed, and then, solicit offers for a long term concession contract. (0056)
