    The Commission staff is consulting with the California State 
Historic Preservation Officer (hereinafter, California 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 Don Pedro Hydroelectric 
Project No. 2299.
    The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission and the 
California 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

section 106 for the Don Pedro 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.
