Notice of Intent To Issue a Temporary

of Concession Contract for Gas

Service at Yosemite National Park

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National Park

Service Concessions Management

Improvement Act of 1998, notice is

hereby given that the National Park

Service intends to issue a temporary

concession contract authorizing

continued operation of a gas service

station adjacent to the west entrance of

Yosemite National Park. The operation

is located on land administered by the

park in the community of El Portal. The

temporary concession contract will be

for a term of not more than three years.

This short-term concession contract is

necessary to avoid interruption of

public services while the National Park

Service finalizes the Yosemite Valley

Plan. This short-term contract will be

for a three-year period beginning

January 1, 2001. This notice is in

pursuant to 36 CFR part 51, section

51.24(a).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

current concession contract at Yosemite

National Park will expire on December

31, 2000. The year round operation is

the primary source for visitors to obtain

gas and have minor auto repairs

performed. The Yosemite Valley Plan is

near completion and addresses future

service station operations. Underground

storage tanks at the existing El Portal

Site must be replaced to comply with all

state and federal requirements; this is in

the process of being accomplished. The

short-term concession contact will allow

for this action to take place without a

long-term delay in service to the public.

In addition, this period of time is

necessary to allow for completion of the

Prospectus, that will incorporate the

planning requirements for commercial

development of the El Portal

Administrative Site currently being

considered in the Yosemite Valley Plan.
