Title: Visitor Experience Improvements Authority Contracts | |
Abstract:
This rule would implement the Visitor Experience Improvements Authority (VEIA) given to the NPS by Congress in title VII of the National Park Service Centennial Act. This authority allows the NPS to award and administer commercial services contracts (and related professional services contracts) not to exceed a period of 10 years for the operation and expansion of commercial visitor facilities and visitor services programs in units of the National Park System. This new authority does not apply to the provision of outfitter and guide services or to contracts that have preferential right of renewal. |
