Description of Need: The National Park Service (NPS) authorizes

16 U.S.C. 3 provides that no contract, lease, permit or privilege
granted for the purpose of providing accommodations for visitors to the
national parks shall be assigned or transferred by such grantees,
permittees, or licenses without the approval of the NPS, first obtained
in writing. It further provides that the NPS may authorize
concessioners to execute mortgages and issue bonds, shares of stock,
and other evidences or interest in or indebtedness upon their rights,
properties and franchises, for the purposes of installing, enlarging,
or improving plants and equipment and extending facilities for the
accommodation of the public within national parks and monuments. 16
