    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.

    The Commission staff is consulting with the North Carolina 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. 470 f), to 
prepare and execute a memorandum of agreement for managing properties 
included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of 
Historic Places at the Dillsboro Hydroelectric Project No. 2602-007 
(SHPO Reference Number ER03-0341).
    The memorandum of agreement, when executed by the Commission and 
the SHPO would satisfy the Commission's section 106 responsibilities 
for all individual undertakings carried out in accordance with the 
surrender of a license. The Commission's responsibilities pursuant to 
section 106 for the Dillsboro Project

[[Page 29332]]

would be fulfilled through the execution of a memorandum of agreement 
for the project (36 CFR 800.6[c]), which the Commission proposes to 
draft in consultation with certain parties listed below. The executed 
memorandum of agreement for the project would be incorporated into any 
Order approving the surrender of a license for the project. The 
memorandum of agreement would be effective until the conditions of the 
surrender are completed. Once the conditions of the surrender are 
complete, the stipulations of the memorandum of agreement would no 
longer be enforced.
    Duke Power Company LLC, as licensee for Project No. 2602, and the 
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians have expressed an interest in these 
proceedings and are invited to participate in consultations to develop 
the memorandum of agreement.
    For purposes of commenting on the memorandum of agreement, we 
propose to restrict the service list for the aforementioned project as

Preservation, The Old Post Office Building, Suite 803, 1100
