[Project No. 12757-004--Louisiana]


Red River Lock & Dam No. 4 Hydroelectric Project; BOST4 
Hydroelectric LLC; Notice of Proposed Restricted Service List for a 
Programmatic Agreement

    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 Louisiana State 
Historic Preservation Officer (Louisiana 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 and execute a programmatic agreement for managing properties 
included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of 
Historic Places that could be affected by issuance of a license for the 
proposed Red River Lock & Dam No. 4 Hydroelectric Project No. 12757.
    The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission and the 
Louisiana 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 800.13e). The Commission's responsibilities pursuant to section 
106 for the proposed project would be fulfilled through the 
programmatic agreement, which staff proposes to draft in consultation 
with certain parties listed below.
    BOST4 Hydroelectric LLC, as applicant for the proposed Red River 
Lock & Dam No. 4 Project No. 12757, is invited to participate in 
consultations to develop the programmatic agreement. For purposes of 
commenting on the programmatic agreement, staff proposes to restrict 
the service list for the aforementioned project as follows:
