[Project No. 14241-000]


Alaska Energy Authority; Notice of Revised Restricted Service 
List for a Programmatic Agreements for Managing Properties Included In 
or Eligible for Inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places

    On February 25, 2014, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission) issued notice of a proposed restricted service list for 
the preparation of a programmatic agreement for managing properties 
included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of 
Historic Places at the Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project No. 14241. 
Rule 2010(d)(1) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 
CFR 2010(d)(1) (2005), provides for the establishment of such a list 
for a particular phase or issue in a proceeding to eliminate 
unnecessary expense or improve administrative efficiency. Under Rule 
2010(d)(4), persons on the official service list are to be given notice 
of any proposal to establish a restricted service list and an 
opportunity to show why they should also be included on the restricted 
service list.
    On March, 11, 2014, Sharon Corsaro, Concerned Citizen for the 
Historic District of Talkeetna, Alaska (Talkeetna Historic District), 
and Robert Gerlach, President of Talkeetna Airmen's Association filed 
requests to include: Sharon Corsaro, Talkeetna Historic District; 
Constance Twigg, property owner in the Talkeetna Historic District; and 
Robert Gerlach, Talkeetna Airmen's Association on the proposed 
restricted service list.
    On March 12, 2014, Van Ness Feldman, LLP (Van Ness) on behalf of 
the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) filed a request to include Wayne 
Dyok, Susitna-Watana Project Manager of AEA and Charles Sensiba of Van 
Ness, and council for AEA, on the proposed restricted service list.
    On May 12, 2014, AEA filed a letter opposing the additions of such 
persons as Ms. Corsaro, Ms. Twigg, and Mr. Gerlach to the restricted 
service list because AEA maintains that their particular interests are 
more broad and non-regulatory in nature and they should not have access 
to sensitive cultural information that is protected by law from public 
disclosure.\1\ In this regard, we agree with AEA to restrict such 
sensitive information from individuals who are not associated with the 
involved agencies and Alaska Native entities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See 16 U.S.C. 470w-3(a); also see 18 CFR 5.2(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under Rule 2010(d)(2), any restricted service list will contain the 
names of each person on the official service list, or the person's 
representative, who, in the judgment of the decisional authority 
establishing the list, is an active participant with respect to the 
phase or issue in the proceeding for which the list is established. As 
the proposed licensee for the project, AEA, and their legal 
representative at Van Ness, have an identifiable interest in issues 
relating to the management of historic properties at the Susitna-Watana 
Hydroelectric Project No. 14241. Therefore, AEA's representatives will 
be added to the restrictive service list. In regards to the 
representatives associated with the Talkeetna Historic District and 
Talkeetna Airmen's Association, these additional three individuals will 
also be added to the restricted service list as they too have 
identifiable interest in issues relating to the management of historic 
properties at the Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project No. 14241. These 
interests are: (1) The partial ownership of the Talkeetna Village Air 
Strip by the Talkeetna Airmen's Association and the preservation and 
protection of this historic property; and (2) the preservation and 
protection of the Talkeetna Historic District. However, these three 
individuals should not receive any information deemed sensitive or 
confidential in nature that is associated with: (1) data or reports 
involving archeological finds; or (2) Alaska Native areas, items, or 
perspectives deemed to be of religious or cultural significance and 
considered sensitive to one or more the involved Alaska Native 
entities. Finally, the Bureau of Land Management also needs to have a 
representative added to the restricted service list because they manage 
lands within the proposed project's boundary and are participants 
within the technical work group for cultural resources.
    Accordingly, the restricted service list issued on October 12, 
2006, for the Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project No. 14241, is 
revised to add the following persons:

Wayne Dyok or Representative, Susitna-Watana Project Manager, Alaska 
Energy Authority, 813 West Northern Lights Boulevard, Anchorage, AK 
99503.
John Jangela or Representative, Bureau of Land Management, Glennallen 
Field Office, P.O. Box 147, Mile Post 186.5 Glenn Hwy., Glennallen, AK 
99588.
Sharon Corsaro or Representative, Concern Citizen, Historic District of 
Talkeetna, P.O. Box 255, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.
Charles Sensiba or Representative, Van Ness Feldman, LLP, 1050 Thomas 
Jefferson St., NW, Seventh Floor, Washington, DC 20007.
Constance Twigg or Representative, Property Owner, Historic Townsite of 
Talkeetna, P.O. Box 266, Talkeetna, AK 99676.
Robert Gerlach or Representative, President of the Talkeetna Airman's, 
Association, P.O. Box 23, Talkeetna, AK 99676.

    Dated: December 2, 2014.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
