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

of the decisional authority establishing the list, are active

    The Commission staff is consulting with the Vermont 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 470 f), to 
prepare a Programmatic Agreement for managing properties included in, 
or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places 
at Project No. 2674.
    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 the 
Programmatic Agreement, which the Commission proposes to draft in 
consultation with certain parties listed below. The executed 
Programmatic Agreement would be incorporated into any Order issuing a 
license.
    Green Mountain Power Corporation, as prospective Licensee for 
Project No. 2674, is invited to participate in consultations 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. 2674 as follows:

motion to that effect within 15 days of this notice date.
