FCRC Annual Concession Plan Franchises

The Mayor’s Office of Contract Services oversees and certifies agency compliance with the applicable laws and regulations for franchises and concessions. In certain circumstances, franchises and concessions are also subject to the approval of the Franchise and Concession Review Committee (FCRC).

Franchises are grants of the right to occupy or to use the City’s inalienable property, such as streets or parks, for a public service, e.g., transportation or telecommunications.
Concessions are grants for the private use of city-owned property such as for food sales or recreational activity, with the City’s compensation typically tied to the concessionaire’s revenue. Concessions are also subject to the City's Concession Rules as codified in Title 12 of the Rules of the City of New York.

市政合同服务办公室负责监督和认证各机构遵守与特许经营和特许权相关的适用法律和法规。在某些情况下，特许经营和特许权亦需获得特许经营与特许权审查委员会（FCRC）的批准。特许经营系授予占用或使用城市不可转让财产（如街道或公园）的权利，以提供公共服务，例如交通或电信服务。特许权是指对城市拥有的财产进行私人使用（如食品销售或娱乐活动）的授权，通常城市的补偿与特许经营者的收入挂钩。特许权亦受纽约市规则第12章中规定的城市特许权规则的约束。
