Temporary Concession Contract for Big South Fork National 
Recreation Area, TN/KY

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of proposed award of temporary concession contract for 
Big South Fork National Recreation Area, TN/KY.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 36 CFR 51.24, public notice is hereby given that 
the National Park Service (NPS) proposes to award a temporary 
concession contract for the conduct of certain visitor services within 
Big South Fork National Recreation Area, Tennessee and Kentucky, for a 
term not to exceed 3 years. The visitor services include providing 
backcountry lodging accommodations, food and beverage, and retail sales 
at Charit Creek Lodge. The NPS is awarding the contract on an emergency 
basis to avoid extended visitor services interruptions as a result of 
the prior concession contract expiring on December 31, 2010.

DATES: The term of the temporary concession contract will commence on 
or around May 1, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS will award the temporary concession 
contract to qualified persons as defined in 36 CFR 51.3. The NPS has 
determined that a temporary concession contract is necessary to avoid 
an extended interruption of visitor services and has taken all 
reasonable appropriate steps to consider alternatives to avoid an 
extended interruption of visitor services.
    This action is issued pursuant to 36 CFR 51.24(a). This is not a 
request for proposals.

    Dated: May 13, 2011.
Peggy O'Dell,
Deputy Director, National Park Service.
