I. Abstract

National Park Service

The NPS authorizes private
businesses known as concessioners to
provide necessary and appropriate
visitor facilities and services in areas of
the National Park System. Concession
authorizations may be assigned, sold,
transferred, or encumbered by the
concessioner subject to prior written
approval of the NPS. The NPS requires
that certain information be submitted
for review prior to the consummation of
any sale, transfer, assignment, or
encumbrance.
The information requested is used to
determine whether or not the proposed
transaction will result in an adverse
impact on the protection, conservation,
or preservation of the resources of the
unit of the National Park System;
decreased services to the public; the
lack of a reasonable opportunity for
profit over the remaining term of the
authorization; or rates in excess of
approved rates to the public. In
addition, pursuant to the regulations at
36 CFR Part 51, the value of rights for
intangible assets such as the concession
contract, right of preference in renewal,
user days, or low fees, belongs to the
Government.
If any portion of the purchase price is
attributable either directly or indirectly
to such assets, the transaction may not
be approved. The amount and type of
information to be submitted varies with
the type and complexity of the proposed
transaction. Without such information,
the NPS would be unable to determine
whether approval of the proposed
transaction would be adequate.

and efficiently carry out our mission for
the next 15 to 20 years. The GMP/EIS
planning process at New River Gorge
National River allowed us to respond to
new issues and changing conditions and
revise the prior GMP approved in 1982.
This planning process was initiated in
2005 and conducted with extensive
public and agency involvement. The
planning team held meetings with and/
or contacted key stakeholders, agencies,
tribes, resource experts, and members of
the public throughout 2005 and 2006.
Stakeholders, agencies, and the
interested public were briefed with
newsletters and press releases and
provided the opportunities to provide
input at fifteen public meetings held in
2006 and 2007.
Review Process for the Management
Plan and Environmental Impact
Statement
Consistent with Federal laws and
regulations, and with National Park
Service policies, the Draft GMP/EIS was
released for public review and comment
from January 13, 2010, through April 16,
2010. The Draft GMP/EIS described and
analyzed the environmental impact of
five alternatives to guide the
development and future management of
the National River: Alternative 1, the
No-Action Alternative, and Action
Alternatives 2–5. Action Alternative 5,
the NPS Preferred Alternative, would:
• Preserve areas for primitive
recreational experiences from end to
end of the park;
• Intersperse cultural and interpretive
resource focal areas;
• Establish a north-south, throughpark connector of scenic roads and
trails;
• Develop partnerships with gateway
communities; and
• Improve rim-to-river experiences.
Copies of the Draft GMP/EIS were
sent to individuals, agencies, tribes, and
organizations, and were made available
to the public at the park office, by
request, and on our Planning,
Environment and Public Comment
(PEPC) Web site (http://
parkplanning.nps.gov/neri). Public open
houses were held on March 9, 10, and
11, 2010 in Hinton, Beckley, and
Fayetteville, WV, respectively.
The comments received on the Draft
GMP/EIS required only minor responses
and editorial corrections; thus, an
abbreviated format was used for the
Final GMP/EIS. The Abbreviated Final
GMP/EIS, issued on October 7, 2011,
included an analysis of agency and
public comments received on the Draft
GMP/EIS with NPS responses, errata
sheets detailing editorial corrections to
the Draft GMP/EIS, and copies of agency
