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.

    Commission staff is consulting with the Oregon State Historic 
Preservation Officer (hereinafter, Oregon 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 Wallowa Falls Hydroelectric Project 
No. 308.
    The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission and the

accordance with the license until the license expires or is terminated 
(36 CFR 800.13[e]). The Commission's responsibilities pursuant to

fulfilled through the programmatic agreement, which the Commission 
proposes to draft in consultation with certain parties listed below.

Order issuing a license.

Reservation, Confederate Tribes of the Colville Reservation, and
