             Subpart D--Special Visitor Services Regulations
 
Sec. 13.84  Preference to Cook Inlet Region, Incorporated.

    (a) The Cook Inlet Region, Incorporated (CIRI), in cooperation with 
village corporations within the Cook Inlet region when appropriate, will 
have a right of first refusal to provide new visitor services within 
that portion of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve that is within the 
boundaries of the Cook Inlet region. In order to exercise this right of 
first refusal, the National Park Service will publicly solicit 
competitive offers for the visitor services authorization pursuant to 36 
CFR part 51 or other applicable National Park Service procedures. CIRI 
must submit a responsive offer within 90 days of such solicitation. If 
CIRI makes such an offer and is determined

by the Director to be capable of carrying out the terms and conditions 
of the visitor services authorization, it will receive the 
authorization. If it does not, the authorization may be awarded to 
another person pursuant to usual National Park Service policies and 
procedures if otherwise appropriate.
    (b) The CIRI right of first refusal will have precedence over the 
rights of preferred operators. An offer from CIRI under this section, if 
the offer is in the form of a joint venture, will not be considered 
valid unless it demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that 
CIRI has a controlling interest in the joint venture.
    (c) The CIRI right of first refusal may not be sold, transferred, 
devised or assigned, directly or indirectly.
