would provide guidance in the solicitation, award and renewal of Alaska

visitor service authorizations. This rulemaking, the substance of which

was printed as a proposed rule on April 25, 1995 (60 FR 20374), extends

the comment period for another 60 days to allow additional review and

comment by interested groups and persons.

Region, National Park Service, 2525 Gambell Street, Room 107, Docket
