Brookfield White Pine Hydro LLC, Project No. 2322-060--Maine, 
Shawmut Hydroelectric Project; Notice of Proposed Restricted Service 
List for a Programmatic Agreement

    Rule 2010 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.2010, 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 concerning non-public 
information. 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 Maine Historic 
Preservation Commission (Maine 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, (54 U.S.C. 306108), 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 Shawmut 
Hydroelectric Project No. 2322-060.
    The Programmatic Agreement, when executed by the Commission and the 
Maine 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 staff proposes to draft the Programmatic Agreement in 
consultation with certain parties listed below.
    Brookfield White Pine Hydro LLC, as licensee for the Shawmut 
Hydroelectric Project, is invited to participate in consultations to 
develop the Programmatic Agreement and to sign as a concurring party to 
the Programmatic
