The National Park Service prepares a variety of planning and environmental documents to help guide it in managing park resources. These documents can range from site-specific impact analyses on facility locations to broader park-wide plans for future use and management of a park. The Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) site contains all of the currently active plans and environmental documents for Katmai as well as other units in the National Park System.

Katmai National Preserve Big Game Hunting Services Concession Prospectus: Opportunity for Public Comment

The National Park Service is preparing to publish a prospectus inviting proposals for the provision of sport hunting guide services in Katmai National Preserve. Concession contracts would be issued for guide services similar to those offered in the past and in the same areas where hunting has been authorized since the Preserve's establishment. This process is accomplished through publication of a prospectus, or business opportunity. When published, the prospectus would describe proposed adjustments in guide area boundaries, client limits for wildlife harvest, including brown bear, and other pertinent contractual conditions and requirements.

A newsletter describing the guided hunting prospectus proposal, background information on existing and proposed guide areas within Katmai National Preserve, client and brown bear harvest limits, and the environmental compliance process is available below.
