International Paper Company; Otis Hydroelectric Company; Notice 
of Proposed Restricted Service List for a Programmatic Agreement for 
Managing Properties Included in or Eligible for Inclusion in the 
National Register of Historic Places

August 23, 1996.
    Rule 2010 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure provides that, to 
eliminate unnecessary expense or improve administrative efficiency, the 
Secretary may establish a restricted service list for a particular 
phase or issue in a proceeding.\1\ The restricted service list should 
contain the names of persons on the service list who, in the judgment 
of the decisional authority establishing the list, are active 
participants with respect to the phase or issue in the proceeding for 
which the list is established.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 18 CFR Section 385.2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission is consulting with the Maine State Historic 
Preservation Officer (hereinafter, SHPO) and the Advisory Council on 
Historic Preservation (hereinafter, Council) pursuant to the Council's 
regulations, 36 CFR Part 800, implementing Section 106 of the National 
Historic Preservation Act, as amended, (16 U.S.C. Section 470f), to 
prepare a programmatic agreement for managing properties included in, 
or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places 
at Project No. 2375 and Project No. 8277.
    The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission, the 
SHPO, and the Council, would satisfy the Commission's Section 106 
responsibilities for all individual undertakings carried out in 
accordance with the licenses until the licenses expire or are 
terminated (36 CFR 800.13[e]). The Commission's responsibilities 
pursuant to Section 106 for the above projects would be fulfilled 
through one programmatic agreement which the Commission proposes to 
draft in consultation with certain parties listed below. The executive 
programmatic agreement would be incorporated into any orders issuing 
licenses.
