          - [Project No. 13528-000—Alaska; Soule River Hydroelectric Project]

                    Rule 2010 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure 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.[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.                

                    The Commission staff is consulting with the Alaska State Historic Preservation Officer (hereinafter, 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 470f), 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 Soule River Hydroelectric Project  No. 13528-000.[2] 

The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission and the 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 Soule River Hydroelectric Project, would be fulfilled through the programmatic agreement, which the Commission proposes to draft in consultation with certain parties listed below. The executed programmatic agreement would be incorporated into any Order issuing a license.

Soule Hydro, LLC, as applicant for the Soule River Hydroelectric Project No. 13528-000, is invited to participate in consultations to develop the programmatic agreement.

For the purpose of commenting on the programmatic agreement, we propose to restrict the service list for the aforementioned project as follows:

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 properties, including properties of traditional religious and cultural importance to an Indian tribe. If historic properties would                           ( print page 38004)                        be identified within the motion, please use a separate page, and label it NON-PUBLIC Information.                

                    The original and 8 copies of any such motion must be filed with Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary of the Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, and must be served on each person whose name appears on the official service list. Please put the following on the first page: Soule River Hydroelectric Project No. 13528-000. Motions may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper.
