Union Electric Company (dba Ameren Missouri); Missouri; Taum Sauk 
Pumped Storage Project; Notice of Proposed 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 \1\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 18 CFR 385.2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission staff is consulting with the Missouri State Historic 
Preservation Office (Missouri 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 
that could be affected by issuance of a new license for the Taum Sauk 
Pumped Storage Project No. 2277.
    The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission and the 
Missouri 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 project would be fulfilled through the Programmatic 
Agreement, which the Commission staff proposes to draft in consultation 
with certain parties listed below. The executed Programmatic Agreement 
would be incorporated into any Order issuing a license.
    Union Electric Company (doing business as Ameren Missouri), as 
applicant for the Taum Sauk Pumped Storage Project and the Osage Nation 
have expressed an interest in this proceeding 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 Project No. 2277 as follows:

John Eddins or Representative, Advisory Council on Historic 
Preservation, The Old Post Office Building, Suite 803, 1100 
Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20004.

Office, 1101 Riverside Dr., Jefferson City, MO 65101.

    Any person on the official service list for the above-captioned 
proceeding may request inclusion on the restricted service list, or may 
request that a restricted service list not be established, by filing a 
motion to that effect within 15 days of this notice date. In a request 
for inclusion, please identify the reason(s) why there is an interest 
to be included. Also please identify any concerns about historic

separate page, and label it NON-PUBLIC Information.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file

    If no such motions are filed, the restricted service list will be
