    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 Alaska 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. 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 Soule River Hydroelectric Project No. 12615-001.
    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 Soule 
River Hydroelectric 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.
    Alaska Power & Telephone Company, as applicant for the Soule River 
Hydroelectric Project No. 12615-001, is invited to participate in 
consultations to develop the programmatic agreement.
    For the purpose of commenting on the programmatic agreement, we 
propose to restrict the service list for the aforementioned project as 
follows:
