Sec. 18.9  When may the Director lease property without issuing a 
request for bids or a request for proposals?

    The Director, except as provided in this section, may not lease 
property without issuing a request for bids or a request for proposals 
in compliance with Sec. 18.7 or Sec. 18.8. The Director under this 
part may enter into leases with non-profit organizations (recognized as 
such by the Internal Revenue Service) or units of government without 
complying with Sec. Sec. 18.7 or 18.8 if the Director determines that 
the non-profit or governmental use of the property will contribute to 
the purposes and programs of the park area. All other requirements of 
this part are applicable to leases entered into or to be entered into 
under authority of this section. The Director may enter into leases 
under this part with a term of sixty (60) days or less without complying 
with Sec. Sec. 18.7 or 18.8 if the Director determines that to do so 
is in the best interests of the administration of the park area. If 
historic land is to be leased under the authority of this section, the 
Director must comply with 36 CFR part 800 (commenting procedures of the 
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation) before entering into the 
lease.
