Rule 2010 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's

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

The Commission staff is consulting with the Connecticut State
Historic Preservation Officer (hereinafter, Connecticut SHPO), and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (hereinafter, Advisory
Council) pursuant to the Advisory Council's regulations, 36 CFR part
800, implementing section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act, as amended, (16 U.S.C. 470f), to prepare and execute 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 Scotland Hydroelectric
Project No. 2662.
The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission and the
Connecticut 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 Scotland Hydroelectric 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.
FirstLight Hydro Generating Company, as the licensee for the
Scotland Hydroelectric Project No. 2662, and the Mashantucket Pequot
Tribe of Connecticut 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, Office of Planning and Review, Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation, 1100 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Suite
803, Washington, DC 20004

Company, 143 West Street Ext., Suite E, New Milford, CT 06776
Kathleen Knowles or Representative, Tribal Historic Preservation
Officer, Mashantucket Pequot Tribe of Connecticut, 550 Trolley Line
Blvd., Mashantucket, CT 06338-3202.
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
properties, including Traditional Cultural Properties. If historic
