DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

[NPS–WASO–CONC–36347; PPWOBSADC0, 

PPMVSCS1Y.Y00000] 

Notice of Intent To Extend and 

Continue Concession Contracts and 

Award Temporary Concession 

Contracts 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Public notice. 

SUMMARY: The National Park Service 

gives public notice that, pursuant to the 

terms of the concession contracts 

identified in the tables below, as 

applicable, and in accordance with NPS 

regulations, it intends to: extend each 

concession contract listed in Table 1 

below until the date shown in the 

‘‘Extension Expiration Date’’ column or 

until the effective date of a new 

contract, whichever comes first; 

continue each concession contract listed 

in Table 2 below until the date shown 

in the ‘‘Continuation Expiration Date’’ 

column or until the effective date of a 

new contract, whichever comes first; 

and award the temporary concession 

contract listed in Table 3 below. 

DATES: The National Park Service 

intends that the concession contract 

extensions, continuations, and 

temporary concession contracts will be 

effective on the dates shown in the 

tables below, as applicable. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kurt 

Rausch, Program Chief, Commercial 

Services Program, National Park 

Service, 1849 C Street NW, Mail Stop 

2410, Washington, DC 20240; 

Telephone: 202–513–7156. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 36 

CFR 51.23 the National Park Service 

proposes to extend each contract listed 

in Table 1 until the date shown in the 

‘‘Extension Expiration Date’’ column or 

until the effective date of a new 

contract, whichever comes first. The 

National Park Service has determined 

that the proposed extensions are 

necessary to avoid an interruption of 

visitor services and has taken all 

reasonable and appropriate steps to 

consider alternatives to avoid such an 

interruption. The extension of the 

existing contracts does not confer or 

affect any rights with respect to the 

award of new contracts. 

The concession contracts listed in 

Table 2 below have been extended for 

the maximum time allowable under 36 

CFR 51.23. Under the provisions of the 

existing contracts and pending the 

issuance of prospectuses and the 

completion of the public solicitation 

process to award new concession 

contracts, the National Park Service 

intends to continue the existing 

contracts until the date shown in the 

‘‘Continuation Expiration Date’’ column 

or until the effective date of a new 

contract, whichever comes first. The 

continuation of the existing contracts 

does not confer or affect any rights with 

respect to the award of new concession 

contracts. 

The National Park Service proposes 

awarding a temporary concession 

contract, in accordance with 36 CFR 

51.24(a), to provide the visitor services 

currently provided under the contract 

listed in Table 3 below. The temporary 

contract will have a term not to exceed 

three years and will be awarded to a 

qualified person. The National Park 

Service anticipates that the temporary 

contract will be effective on the date 

shown in the ‘‘Effective Date’’ column. 

This notice is not a request for 

proposals. 

The publication of this notice reflects 

the intent of the National Park Service 

but does not bind the National Park 

Service to extend, continue, or award 

any of the contracts listed below.

Notice of Intent To Prepare a 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement for the December 2016 

Record of Decision Entitled Glen 

Canyon Dam Long-Term Experimental 

and Management Plan 

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: On June 6, 2023, the Secretary 

of the Interior’s Acting Designee to the 

Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive 

Management Work Group (AMWG), a 

Federal advisory committee, directed 

the Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation) to prepare a 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement (SEIS). The supplement is to 

the December 2016 Record of Decision 

for the Glen Canyon Dam Long-Term 

Experimental and Management Plan 

(LTEMP) Final Environmental Impact 

Statement and will analyze flow options 

to prevent smallmouth bass and other 

warmwater invasive nonnative fish from 

establishing below Glen Canyon Dam 

(by preventing additional spawning) 

and will analyze new information 

regarding the sediment accounting 

window associated with the LTEMP 

High-Flow Experiment (HFE) protocol. 

DATES: This Federal Register notice 

initiates the public scoping process for 

the SEIS. Reclamation requests that the 

public submit comments concerning the 

scope of specific operational guidelines, 

strategies, and any other issues that 

should be considered on or before 

November 3, 2023. 

Reclamation will host two public 

webinars to provide summary 

information and receive oral comments. 

For specific information concerning the 

dates, times, and links to the webinars, 

click on the link provided in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice. 

ADDRESSES: Please send written 

comments pursuant to this notice to 

LTEMPSEIS@usbr.gov or by mail to 

Bureau of Reclamation, Attn: LTEMP 

SEIS Project Manager, 125 South State 

Street, Suite 800, Salt Lake City, UT

webinars, go to https://www.usbr.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document provides notice that 

Reclamation intends to prepare an SEIS 

and a modified Record of Decision for 

the 2016 LTEMP. Reclamation is issuing 

this Federal Register notice pursuant to 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

of 1969, as amended (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.; the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s regulations for 

implementing NEPA, 43 CFR parts 1500 

through 1508; and the Department of the 

Interior NEPA regulations, 43 CFR part 

46. 

Background 

The Colorado River Basin has been in 

a prolonged period of drought and lowrunoff conditions, and despite current 

projections of 2023 runoff being above 

average, the period from 2000 through 

2023 is currently estimated as the 

second driest period in more than a 

century and one of the driest periods in 

the last 1,200 years. 

As the water elevation at Lake Powell 

has declined, the epilimnion (upper 

layer of water) where most fish reside 

has become closer to the dam’s intakes, 

which move water from the reservoir, 

into the dam through the turbines for 

hydropower production, and 

downstream into the Colorado River. 

The decrease in water elevation means 

that nonnative fish in Lake Powell are 

now more likely than in prior years to 

become entrained, passing through the 

dam and downstream into the Colorado 

River. While some level of fish mortality 

occurs during passage through the 

turbines, some fish survive. As Lake 

Powell elevations decline, warmer water 

from the epilimnion is discharged, 

resulting in releases of water with 

warmer temperatures. Warm water 

temperatures below the dam create 

conditions that are suitable for 

warmwater nonnative fish to reproduce 

and eventually establish populations. 

This is a concern because smallmouth 

bass and other predatory invasive fish 

pose a threat to federally listed fish 

species and other native fish 

downstream of Glen Canyon Dam. 

Although invasive fish, including 

smallmouth bass, have been detected
