Concession economics will <br />continue to be analyzed by the N PS. This information <br />will be especially useful in equitably reallocating user <br />days should total USe on the river need to be adjusted. <br />The N PS will seek concessioner cooperation and input <br />in obtaining a better understanding of their economic <br />situations. <br /> <br />Reviewing and <br />Updating the Plan <br /> <br />The N PS will review and analyze the information from the <br />ongoing monitoring program. Based on this information, the <br />Colorado River Management Plan will be updated or modi- <br />fied as necessary. Updating and/or modification could <br />include adjustments in use levels and reallocation of use <br />between commercial and noncommercial trips. Any adjust- <br />ment in use levels among concessioners would be made in <br />full cooperation with all companies considering historical <br />use and other factors. <br /> <br />8ased on monitoring, other management actions such as <br />regulations establishing new operating procedures to <br />minimize impacts might be implemented. Management <br />actions including temporary closure of attraction sites, <br />prohibiting camping at certain sites, changing launch <br />schedules, and adjusting trip lengths might also be <br />considered. <br /> <br />If these proposed management actions are significant, the <br />Colorado River Management Plan will have to be modified. <br />In this case, monitoring results, along with proposed plan <br />modifications will be provi,ded to the public. After public <br />comments are received and considered, the plan will be <br />modified as necessary and these modifications will be Widely <br />distributed. <br /> <br />17 <br /> <br />.- <br />
