Minnesota Power & Light 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

October 21, 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 385.2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission is consulting with the Minnesota Historical Society 
(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. 2663-004.
    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 license until the license expires or is terminated 
(36 CFR 800.13[e]). The Commission's responsibilities pursuant to 
Section 106 for the above project would be fulfilled through one 
programmatic agreement for comments under Section 106. The executed 
programmatic agreement would be incorporated into any order issuing 
license.
    Minnesota Power & Light Company, as prospective licensee for 
Project No. 2663-004, is invited to participate in consultation to 
develop the programmatic agreement and to sign as a concurring party to 
the programmatic agreement.
    For purposes of commenting on the programmatic agreement, we 
propose to restrict the service list for Project No. 2663-004 as 
follows:

Ms. Nina Archabal, Director, Minnesota Historical Society, 345 Kellogg 
Blvd. West, St. Paul, MN 55102
Dr. Robert D. Bush, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, The Old 
Post Office Building, Suite 809, 1100 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., 
Washington, D.C. 20004
Mr. Christopher D. Anderson, Attorney, Minnesota Power & Light Company, 
30 West Superior Street, Duluth, MN 55802

    Any person on the official service list for the above-captioned 
proceedings may request inclusion on the restricted service list, or 
may request that a restricted service list not be established, by 
filing a motion to that effect within 15 days of this notice date.
    An original and 8 copies of any such motion must be filed with the 
Secretary of the Commission (888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426) and must be served on each person whose name appears on the 
official service list. If no such motions are filed, the restricted 
service list will be effective at the end of the 15 day period. 
Otherwise, a further notice will be issued ruling on the motion.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
