    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. 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 Takatz Lake Hydroelectric Project No. 13234-001.
    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 Takatz 
Lake 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.
    The City and Borough of Sitka, as applicant for the Takatz Lake 
Hydroelectric Project No. 13234-001, 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:

    Don Klima or Representative, Advisory Council on Historic 
Preservation, The Old Post Office Building, 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, 
NW., Suite 803, Washington, DC 20004.
    Judith Bittner, SHPO or Representative, Office of History & 
Archaeology, 550 W. 7th Avenue, Suite 1310, Anchorage, AK 99501.
    Christopher Brewton, Utility Manager or Representative, City and 
Borough of Sitka, 105 Jarvis Street, Sitka, AK 99835.
    Mark McCallum, Heritage Program Manager, Tongass National Forest, 
P.O. Box 309, Petersburg, AK 99833.
    Jay Kinsman, District Archaeologist, Tongass National Forest, Sitka 
Ranger District, 204 Siginaka Way, Sitka, AK 99835.

    Any person on the official service list for the above-captioned 
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 
for inclusion, please identify the reason(s) why there is an interest 
to be included. Also, please identify any concerns about historic 
properties, including properties of traditional religious and cultural 
importance to an Indian tribe. If historic properties would be 
identified within the motion, please use a separate page, and label it 
NON-PUBLIC Information.
    The original and eight copies of any such motion must be filed with 
Kimberly D. Bose, 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 following on the 
first page: Takatz Lake Hydroelectric Project No. 13234-001. Motions 
may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. The 
Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. See 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site
