Agreement for Managing Properties Included In or Eligible for Inclusion 
In the National Register of Historic Places

May 20, 2010.
    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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Commission staff is consulting with the South Carolina State 
Historic Preservation Officer (hereinafter, South Carolina 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 Saluda Hydroelectric 
Project No. 516-459.
    The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission and the 
South Carolina 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 Saluda 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.
    South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, as licensee for Saluda 
Hydroelectric Project No. 516, the Catawba Indian Nation, and the 
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians have expressed an interest in this 
preceding 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 the aforementioned project 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.
Rebekah Dobrasko or Representative, Review and Compliance Coordinator, 
Archives & History Center, 8301 Parklane Road, Columbia, SC 29223.

Gas Company, 111 Research Drive, Columbia, South Carolina 29203.
Dr. Wenonah G. Haire or Representative, Catawba Indian Nation THPO, 
1536 Tom Stevens Rd., Rock Hill, SC 29730.

    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
