      CHAPTER I--NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
 
PART 51_CONCESSION CONTRACTS--Table of Contents
 
                Subpart F_Determining a Preferred Offeror
 
Sec. 51.45  Will a concessioner that has operated for less than the entire 
term of a concession contract be considered a satisfactory operator?

    The Director will determine that a concessioner has operated 
satisfactorily on an overall basis during the term of a concession 
contract only if the concessioner (including a new concessioner 
resulting from an assignment as described in this part, including, 
without limit, an assignment of a controlling interest in a concessioner 
as defined in this part) has or will have operated for more than two 
years under a concession contract with a term of more than five years or 
for one year under a concession contract with a term of five years or 
less. For purposes of this section, a new concessioner's first day of 
operation under an assigned concession contract (or as a new 
concessioner after approval of an assignment of a controlling interest 
in a concessioner) will be the day the Director approves the assignment 
pursuant to this part. If the Director determines that an assignment was 
compelled by circumstances beyond the control of the assigning 
concessioner, the Director may make an exception to the requirements of 
this section.
