73066 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 236 / Tuesday, December 9, 2014 / Notices 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

Jack River Dam Hydroelectric Project 

(Jack River Project or project) to be 

located on the Jack River, near Cantwell 

in Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska. 

The sole purpose of a preliminary 

permit, if issued, is to grant the permit 

holder priority to file a license 

application during the permit term. A 

preliminary permit does not authorize 

the permit holder to perform any landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter 

upon lands or waters owned by others 

without the owners’ express permission. 

The project reservoir utilizes 286 acres 

of land owned by the Bureau of Land 

Management. 

The proposed project would consist of 

the following: (1) A 750-foot-long, 250- 

foot-high dam on the Jack River with a 

250-foot-high spillway built into the 

crest of the dam; (2) an 865-acre 

reservoir with a storage capacity of 

50,700-acre-feet; (3) two 300-foot-long, 

4-foot-diameter steel penstocks; (4) a 75- 

foot long, 125-foot-wide powerhouse 

with two Francis turbine units rated for 

2.1 megawatts (MW) each or 4.2 MW 

total at 250 feet of net head; (5) a 20- 

foot-wide, 20-foot-deep, 25-foot-long 

concrete tailrace emptying into the Jack 

River; (6) an 8,000-foot-long, 15-kilovolt 

transmission line tying into the existing 

substation northwest of the project; and 

(7) appurtenant facilities. 

The estimated annual generation of 

the Jack River Project would be 23.4 

gigawatt-hours.

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[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. 

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 SusitnaWatana 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, SusitnaWatana Project Manager, Alaska 

Energy Authority, 813 West Northern 

Lights Boulevard, Anchorage, AK 

99503.
