Abstract: Private businesses under contract to the National Park Service manage food, lodging, tours, whitewater rafting, boating, and many other recreational activities and amenities in more than 100 national parks. 36 CFR Part 51 provides legislative authority, policies, and requirements for the solicitation, award and administration of National Park Service concession contracts. The public solicitation process begins with the issuance of a prospectus. The prospectus invites the general public to submit proposals for the contract. The prospectus describes the terms and conditions of the concession contract to be awarded and the procedures to be followed in the selection of the best proposal. This information collection covers all information collected (proposals, annual financial reports, contruction reports, etc) associated with the issuance and administration of concession contracts.
