[Federal Register Volume 60, Number 103 (Tuesday, May 30, 1995)] [Notices] [Pages 28164-28165] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 95-13044] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Isle Royale National Park; Notice AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. ACTION: Public notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: Public notice is hereby given that the National Park Service proposes to award a concession permit authorizing continued operation of boat transportation services between Grand Portage National Monument and Isle Royale National Park, Michigan for the public at Isle Royale National Park for a period of approximately five (5) years from date of execution through December 31, 2000. EFFECTIVE DATE: July 31, 1995. ADDRESSES: Interested parties should contact the Superintendent, Isle Royale National Park, 800 East Lakeshore Drive, [[Page 28165]] Houghton, Michigan 49931 to obtain a copy of the prospectus describing the requirements of the proposed permit. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This permit renewal has been determined to be categorically excluded from the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act and no environmental document will be prepared. The existing concessioner has performed its obligations to the satisfaction of the Secretary under an existing permit which expired by limitation of time on December 31, 1994, and therefore pursuant to the provision of section 5 of the Act of October 9, 1965 (79 Stat. 969; 16 U.S.C. Sec. 20), is entitled to be given preference in the negotiation of a new proposed permit providing that the existing concessioner submits a responsive offer (a timely offer which meets the terms and conditions of the Prospectus). This means that the permit will be awarded to the party submitting the best offer, provided that if the best offer was not submitted by the existing concessioner, then the existing concessioner will be afforded the opportunity to match the best offer. If the existing concessioner agrees to match the best offer, then the permit will be awarded to the existing concessioner. If the existing concessioner does not submit a responsive offer, the right of preference in renewal shall be considered to have been waived, and the permit will then be awarded to the party that has submitted the best responsive offer. The Secretary will consider and evaluate all proposals received as a result of this notice. Any proposal, including that of the existing concessioner, must be received by the Superintendent not later than the sixtieth (60th) day following publication of this notice to be considered and evaluated. Dated: May 23, 1995. Robert K. Yearout, Chief, Concessions Division. [FR Doc. 95-13044 Filed 5-26-95; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-70-M
