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

    The Commission staff is consulting with the Alabama and Georgia 
State Historic Preservation Officer (hereinafter, SHPOs) 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 and execute a programmatic agreement 
for managing properties included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the 
National Register of Historic Places at Project Nos. 2146, 82, and 618.
    The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission, the 
SHPOs, 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 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 Orders issuing 
licenses.

Indians, Chickasaw Nation, Poarch Band of Creek Indians, and the U.S.
