    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 South Carolina State 
Historic Preservation Officer (hereinafter, South Carolina 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 Pacolet Hydroelectric 
Project Nos. 2621 and 12770.
    The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission and the 
South Carolina 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 Pacolet 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.
    Lockhart Power Company, as licensee for Pacolet Hydroelectric 
Project Nos. 2621 and 12770, and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians 
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 
follows:

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

motion to that effect within 15 days of this notice date. In a request
