The National Park Service will shortly release a concession Prospectus seeking operation of a gasoline service station adjacent to the west entrance of Yosemite National Park on Highway 140.

Offers will be accepted for 30 days following the release of the Prospectus which is expected in the week of September 21, 1998. The cost for purchasing a Prospectus is $30.00.
