Conference on Energy Infrastructure;

Notice of Conference

December 11, 2001.

The Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (FERC) will hold a

conference on energy infrastructure

issues in the northeastern states on

Thursday, January 31, 2002 at the

Helmsley Park Lane Hotel, 36 Central

Park South, New York City, New York.

The conference will discuss the

adequacy of the electric, gas and

hydropower infrastructure in the

Northeast, and related matters. The

Governors of the northeastern states

have been invited to participate. The

goal is to identify present infrastructure

needs, investment and other barriers to

expansion, and environmental and

landowner concerns. We look forward

to an informative discussion of the

issues to clarify how we can facilitate

and enhance a comprehensive

collaborative approach to energy

infrastructure development and

reliability for the northeastern states. It

is our firm belief that an adequate, wellfunctioning energy infrastructure is a

keystone of workable, competitive

energy markets.

The one-day meeting will begin at 9

a.m. and conclude at 4 p.m. All

interested parties are invited to attend.

Hotel rooms have been blocked at the

Helmsley Park Lane under the name of

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission for any attending guests to

reserve a one- or two-night stay but will

be released by January 9, 2002 (212–

371–4000).

We will issue further details on the

conference, including the agenda and a

list of participants, as plans evolve. For

Great Northern Paper, Inc.; Notice of

Final Restricted Service List for

Comments on a Programmatic

Agreement for Managing Properties

Included in or Eligible for Inclusion in

the National Register of Historic Places

December 11, 2001.

On September 24, 2001, the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission

(Commission) issued a notice for the

Storage Project (FERC No. 2634–007)

proposing to establish a restricted

service list for the purpose of

developing and executing a

Programmatic Agreement (PA) for

managing properties included in or

eligible for inclusion in the National

Register of Historic Places. On

November 21, 2001, the Commission

issued a notice modifying the restricted

service list for the purpose of revising

the participates. The Storage project is

located in Piscataquis and Somerset

Counties in Maine. Great Northern

Paper, Inc. is the licensee.

Rule 2010 of the Commission’s 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 following change

to the existing restricted service list is

noted.

Add ‘‘Donald Soctomah,

Passamaquoddy Tribe, PO Box 301,

Princeton, Maine 04668’’.

As a result of these changes, the final

restricted service list for purposes of

commenting on the PA, for Project No.
