The Commission staff is consulting

with the Vermont State Historic

for managing properties included in, or

eligible for inclusion in, the National

The Programmatic Agreement, when

executed by the Commission, the SHPO,

and the Council, would satisfy the

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 above project

would be fulfilled through the

Programmatic Agreement, which the

Commission proposes to draft in

below. The executed Programmatic

Agreement would be incorporated into

any Order issuing a license.

Green Mountain Power Corporation,
