    Rule 2010 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(hereinafter, 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 Indiana 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 programmatic agreement for managing properties included 
in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic 
Places at the Norway-Oakdale Project No. 12514-000 (SHPO Reference 
Number DNR 10475).
    The programmatic 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 license 
until the license expires or is terminated (36 CFR 800.13[e]). The 
Commission's responsibilities pursuant to section 106 for the Norway-
Oakdale 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.
    Northern Indiana Public Service Company, as licensee for Project 
No. 12514, the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians of Indiana and 
Michigan, and the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma are invited to participate in 
consultations to develop the programmatic agreement.
    For purposes of commenting on the programmatic agreement, we 
propose to restrict the service list for the aforementioned project as 
follows:

proceeding 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. In a request

to be included. Also please identify any concerns about historic

    An original and 8 copies of any such motion must be filed with 
Magalie Salas, the Secretary of the Commission (888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426) and must be served on each person whose name 
appears on the official service list. Please put the project name 
``Norway-Oakdale Project'' and number ``P-12514-000'' on the front 
cover of any motion. If no such motions are filed, the restricted
