National Park Service 

Rescind 1990 Cruise Ship Management 

Policy, Glacier Bay National Park & 

Preserve, Alaska 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Rescind 1990 Cruise Ship 

Management Policy, Glacier Bay 

National Park & Preserve, Alaska. 

SUMMARY: Effective with publication of 

this public notice, the National Park 

Service (NPS) has rescinded a policy 

concerning management of cruise ships 

in Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve 

which was originally published in the 

Federal Register on May 31, 1990 (FR, 

Vol. 55, No. 105, page 22108, 5/31/1990, 

FR Doc. 9012551). In summary, the 

policy was intended to increase 

opportunities for competitive award of 

cruise ship use days into Glacier Bay 

and to enhance visitor opportunities to 

select from a wider variety of cruise 

ship operations. These objectives were 

to be accomplished under the 1990 

policy primarily by limiting the 

transferability of concession permits for 

cruise ship tours in Glacier Bay, limiting 

the scope of a preference in renewal of 

concessions permits that would 

otherwise apply, and granting 

additional renewal preferences. 

However, in 1998, the Congress 

revised and reconfirmed the 

management of NPS concession contract 

authorizations through the NPS 

Concessions Management Improvement 

Act of 1998, Public Law 105–391, 

November 13, 1998. This law does not 

permit the continued implementation of 

most of the operative provisions of the 

1990 policy such that the policy can no 

longer be implemented to achieve its 

objectives. Accordingly, the NPS has 

rescinded the 1990 policy. However, 

NPS does intend to continue to 

encourage the award of multiple 

concession contracts to different 

operators for Glacier Bay cruise 

operations so as to enhance visitor 

choices in visiting Glacier Bay by cruise 

ship. This will be accomplished 

primarily by limiting the number of 

cruise ship use days permitted under 

applicable cruise ship concessions 

contracts, thereby increasing the 

number of concession contracts 

available for award. 

DATES: February 5, 2008.
