Hydroelectric Project; Notice of Proposed Restricted Service List for a 
Programmatic Agreement for Managing Properties Included in or Eligible 
for Inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places

January 24, 2007.
    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.

    \1\ 18 CFR 385.2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 470f), 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 Lake Blackshear Hydroelectric Project No. 659 
(SHPO Reference Number HP021003-004 and Seminole Tribe of Florida 
Reference Number THPO-000454).
    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 Lake 
Blackshear 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.
    Crisp County Power Commission, as licensee for Lake Blackshear 
Hydroelectric Project No. 659, the Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town, and 
the Seminole Tribe of Florida have expressed an interest in this 
preceding and 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
