Key Points

  • Lets the Interior Department renew some business leases in national parks without opening them to new offers.
  • Only applies if the business has had the lease at least 5 years and is following all the terms.
  • Park leaders must decide the renewal helps the park’s operations, not just the business.
  • May spur more investment in repairs and services at park buildings because tenants expect longer stays.
  • Fewer chances for new businesses to compete could mean less choice for visitors and possibly higher prices.
