Concession Permits; Glacier Bay

National Park, AK

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Public notice.

SUMMARY: Public notice is hereby given

that the National Park Service (NPS)

proposes to award concession permits

authorizing the operation of cruise ship

services for the public at Glacier Bay

National Park, Alaska, for a period of

five (5) years from January 1, 2000,

through December 31, 2004. This

solicitation offers sixty-eight (68) cruise

ship entries from June 1 to August 31

and up to 546 cruise ship entries

outside of the June-August regulatory

period into Glacier Bay proper, subject

to the scheduling limitation of two

cruise ships per day, year round for all

companies combined. This solicitation

also serves as public notice that the NPS

intends to discontinue the former

practice of issuing Incidental Business

Permits for park waters outside Glacier

Bay proper, and instead require

prospective operators to apply under a

concession solicitation and prospectus

to operate in these waters after January

1, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Within 30 days of

January 15, 1998, a notice will be

published in the Commerce Business

Daily. The official release date of the

Prospectus shall be the date of

publication in the Commerce Business

Daily. Anyone interested in making an

offer for these permits must do so

within 90 days of the date of publication

of the Commerce Business Daily

announcement.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties should

contact the Superintendent, Glacier Bay

National Park & Preserve, P.O. Box 140,

Gustavus, AK 99826 for a copy of the

prospectus.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An

assessment of the environmental impact

of this proposed action has been made

and it has been determined that it will

not significantly affect the quality of the

environment, and that it is not a major

Federal action having significant impact

on the environment under the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The

environmental assessment and finding

of no significant impact may be

reviewed in the headquarters building

of Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve,

Gustavus, Alaska.

There are two types of preferences

applicable to this solicitation, as

follows:

1. The provisions of the Alaska

National Interest Lands Conservation

Act (16 U.S.C. 3197), Section 1307(b)

and 36 CFR 13.83 apply to this

solicitation. Preference will be given to

the Native Corporation(s) most directly

affected by the creation of Glacier Bay

National Park and Preserve and to

persons who are determined to be local

residents. The preferences established

in ANILCA Section 1307 take

precedence over the preferential right of

renewal granted incumbent NPS

concessioners (see item #2 below).

2. Thirty of the 68 cruise ship entries

during the June 1-August 31 period

referred to above are assigned to existing

concessioners. These existing

concessioners have operated

satisfactorily during their current

permits, and may apply and compete for

new permits. As satisfactory operators,

they have the rights to renewal provided

for in PL 89–249, Section 5 and in 36

CFR 51.3(b) and 36 CFR 51.5.

For further details concerning these

preferences, see the prospectus.

All interested parties are encouraged

to apply and the Secretary will consider

and evaluate all offers received as a

result of this notice. Any offer,

including that of the existing

concessioner, must be received by the

Superintendent, Glacier Bay National

Park & Preserve, at the Bartlett Cove

Administration Building, Gustavus,

Alaska 99826–0140 or at P.O. Box 140,

days following the date of publication of

the Commerce Business Daily
