Proposed Concession Contract, Grand

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The National Park Service
(NPS) is proposing, subject to
consideration of public comments, to
VerDate Nov<24>2008

utilize an alternative formula for the
valuation of leasehold surrender interest
under its proposed concession contract
GRTE003–11 for operation of the Signal
Mountain Lodge and Leeks Marina at
Grand Teton National Park (‘‘new
contract’’).
DATES: Public comments will be
accepted on or before March 3, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Ms. Jo A.
Pendry, Chief, Commercial Services
Program, National Park Service, 1201
Eye Street, NW., 11th Floor,
Washington, DC 20005 or via e-mail at
jo_pendry@nps.gov or via fax at 202/
371–2090.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jo
Pendry, Chief Commercial Services
Program, 202–513–7156.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
standard formula for leasehold
surrender interest (‘‘LSI’’) value for
applicable improvements provided by a
concessioner under a National Park
Service concession contract as defined
in 36 CFR part 51 (‘‘standard formula’’)
is as follows:
(1) The initial construction cost of the
related capital improvement,
(2) Adjusted by (increased or
decreased) the same percentage increase
or decrease as the percentage increase or
decrease in the Consumer Price Index
from the date the Director approves the
substantial completion of the
construction of the related capital
improvement to the date of payment of
the leasehold surrender interest value;
(3) Less depreciation of the related
capital improvement on the basis of its
condition as of the date of termination
or expiration of the applicable leasehold
sulTender interest concession contract,
or, if applicable, the date on which a
concessioner ceases to utilize a related
capital improvement (e.g., where the
related capital improvement is taken out
of service by the Director pursuant to
the terms of a concession contract).
However, Section 405(a)(4) of Public
Law 105–391 authorizes the inclusion of
alternative LSI value formulas in
concession contracts (such as the new
contract) estimated to have an LSI value
in excess of $10 million. One acceptable
alternative methodology identified in
Public Law 105 391 calls for the
depreciation of LSI value on the basis of
Internal Revenue Code requirements as
they existed in 1998.
However, NPS is proposing an
alternative LSI formula that avoids
Internal Revenue Code complexities in
LSI valuation. The proposed alternative
formula has two components: One for
initial LSI value (as of the
commencement of the contract) and a
second for new LSI value, e.g., that
PO 00000
Frm 00081
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

credited during the term of the contract,
as described below:
(1) Initial LSI Value. The reduction of
the initial LSI value under the new
contract on a monthly straight-line
depreciation basis, applying a 40-year
recovery period regardless of asset class.
There is no adjustment of the initial LSI
value as a result of the installation
(including replacement) of fixtures in
the related capital improvements during
the term of the proposed contract; and
(2) New LSI Value. The reduction of
the leasehold surrender interest value in
any new structures or major
rehabilitations constructed during the
term of the new contract to be based on
straight-line depreciation and also apply
a 40-year recovery period (on a monthly
basis) with no asset class distinctions.
The construction cost of new capital
improvements will include the costs of
installed fixtures. Any installation (or
replacement) of fixtures after the initial
construction would not alter the
established LSI value in the
improvements.
In summary, the proposed alternative
formula: (1) Depreciates all asset classes
composing LSI value over a 40-year
recovery period; and (2) Eliminates
adjustments of the initial LSI value as a
result of the installation (or
replacement) of fixtures during the
contract term.
The NPS has determined, subject to
consideration of public comment and
after scrutiny of the financial and other
circumstances involved in the proposed
contract, that utilization of the proposed
alternative formula, as compared to the
Standard Formula set forth above, is
necessary in order to: (1) Provide a fair
return to the Government from the
revenues of the proposed contract; and
(2) Further competition for the proposed
contract by providing a reasonable
opportunity for the concessioner to
make a profit under the new contract.
The NPS has also taken into
consideration the fact that the proposed
alternative formula provides a recovery
period (40 years) for LSI improvements,
which exceeds that which would have
been provided by the Internal Revenue
Code in 1998. This is because the
recovery period of the proposed
alternative formula would apply to all
LSI improvements, regardless of their
Internal Revenue Code asset class and
applicable recovery period.
We consider that adoption of the
proposed alternative formula will not
impact the projected rate of return of the
new concessioner under the terms of the
new contract (as opposed to inclusion of
the standard formula). This is because,
in developing the minimum franchise
fee to be included in the new contract,
