National Park 
Service, 
Relating to the establishment of concession policies in the areas administered 
by National Park Service and for other purposes. 
Be it enacted hy the Senate and House of Representatwes 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled^ That in furtherance 
of the Act of August 25,1916 (39 Stat. 535), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1), "^c'oncession 
which directs the Secretary of the Interior to administer national park poii^^i^s. 
system areas in accordance with the fundamental purpose of conserv-
ing their scenery, wildlife, natural and historic objects, and providing 
for their enjoyment in a manner that wdll leave them unimpaired for 
the enjoyment of future generations, the Congress hereby finds that 
the preservation of park values requires that such public accommoda-
tions, facilities, and services as have to be provided within those areas 
should be provided only under carefully controlled safeguards against 
unregulated and indiscriminate use, so that the heavy visitation will 
not unduly impair these values and so that development of such facili-
ties can best be limited to locations where the least damage to park 
values will be caused. It is the policy of the Congress that such 
development shall be limited to those that are necessary and appro-
priate for public use and enjoyment of the national park area in which 
they are located and that are consistent to the highest practicable 
degree with the preservation and conservation of the areas. 
SEC. 2. Subject to the findings and policy stated in section 1 of this 
"Concessioners." 
Act, the Secretary of the Interior shall take such action as may be 
appropriate to encourage and enable private persons and corporations 
(hereinafter referred to as "concessioners") to provide and operate 
facilities and services which he deems desirable for the accommodation 
of visitors in areas administered by the National Park Service. 
SEC. 3. (a) Without limitation of the foregoing, the Secretary may contracts. 
include in contracts for the providing of facilities and services such 
terms and conditions as, in his judgment, are required to assure the con-
cessioner of adequate protection against loss of investment in struc-
tures, fixtures, improvements, equipment, supplies, and other tangible 
property provided by him for the purposes of the contract (but not 
against loss of anticipated profits) resulting from discretionary acts, 
policies, or decisions of the Secretary occurring after the contract has 
become effective under which acts, policies, or decisions the concession-
er's authority to conduct some or all of his authorized operations under 
the contract ceases or his structures, fixtures, and improvements, or any 
of them, are required to be transferred to another party or to be aban-
doned, removed, or demolished. 
Such terms and conditions may 
include an obligation of the United States to compensate the conces-
sioner for loss of investment, as aforesaid. 
(b) The Secretary shall exercise his authority in a manner consistent 
Pi-ofits. 
with a reasonable opportunity for the concessioner to realize a profit 
on his operation as a whole commensurate with the capital invested 
and the obligations assumed. 
(c) The reasonableness of a concessioner's rates and charges to the ^^tes, 
public shall, unless otherwise provided in the contract, be judged 
primarily by comparison with those current for facilities and services
