    The Commission staff is consulting with the Georgia 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 and execute a programmatic agreement for managing properties 
included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of 
Historic Places at the Morgan Falls Hydroelectric Project No. 2237-013 
(SHPO Reference Number HP-040120-022).
    The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission, the 
SHPO, and the Council, would satisfy the Commission's section 106

(36 CFR 800.13[e]). The Commission's responsibilities pursuant to 
section 106 for the Morgan Falls 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.
