DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 349-173--Alabama]


Alabama Power Company, Martin Dam Hydroelectric Project; Notice 
of Proposed Revised Restricted Service List for a Programmatic 
Agreement for Managing Properties Included in or Eligible for Inclusion 
in the National Register of Historic Places

    Rule 2010 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.2010, 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. 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 Alabama State Historic 
Preservation Officer (Alabama SHPO) and the Advisory Council on 
Historic Preservation (Advisory Council) pursuant to the Advisory 
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 a Programmatic Agreement for managing properties included in, 
or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places 
at the Martin Dam Hydroelectric Project.
    The Programmatic Agreement, when executed by the Commission, the 
Alabama SHPO, and the Advisory Council, 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 Martin Dam Hydroelectric Project would 
be fulfilled through the Programmatic Agreement, which the Commission 
staff proposes to draft in consultation with the Alabama SHPO; Alabama 
Power Company, the licensee for Project No. 349-173; the Poarch Band of 
Creek Indians; the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma; the Alabama-Quassarte 
Tribal Town; the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas; and the Thlopthlocco 
Tribal Town.
    For purposes of commenting on the Programmatic Agreement, we 
propose to add the following persons to the

restricted service list for the Martin Dam Hydroelectric Project to 
represent the interests of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma and 
the Kialegee Tribal Town of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation: Principal 
Chief A.D. Ellis, Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma, P.O. Box 580, 
Okmulgee, OK 74447; Mekko Tiger Hobia, Kialegee Tribal Town of the

    Dated: March 5, 2012.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
